As adult coloring books continue to soar in popularity and top bestsellers lists, July’s New York Times T Magazine “Take Two” just recently featured one above the pack: OUTSIDE THE LINES, TOO: An Inspired and Inventive Coloring Book by Creative Masterminds (Perigee Trade; September 1, 2015).
OUTSIDE THE LINES, TOO follows 2013’s OUTSIDE THE LINES, the New York Times bestselling original collection of coloring book designs from some of modern art’s greatest talent, and both are curated by creative mastermind Souris Hong.
OUTSIDE THE LINES, TOO is a wild, crazy, fresh collection of line drawings from over 100 of the most cutting-edge and imaginative street artists, musicians, filmmakers, and visual artists in the world.
Lately my hubby has been having some health problems and we all know that stress can make those problems worse. He needed to keep his mind busy, relax and just chill out for a few weeks while he healed. After hearing all of the “rage” about adult coloring books he wanted to try one out for himself.
He received the OUTSIDE THE LINES, TOO ~ curated by Souris Hong. There are over 100+ fine line drawings from artists, graphic designers, illustrators, photographers, etc. within the pages of this adult coloring book.
This adult coloring book is beautiful! I’ve never seen one like this before. Inside you will find simple line drawings and then other more complex designs for you to color. Any or all of them can be turned into works of art for your walls!
Hubby does a LOT of coloring with the grand daughter so he was pretty excited to get started with his own coloring book. Just the other day I caught him laying on the floor coloring in his new book while Gia was on the floor coloring in hers. Awwww! A great way for him to spend some quality time one-on-one with her and do it in a nice & relaxing way.
While he is no master artist…he does love to lay on the floor and relax with his new adult coloring book. I am confident he will improve upon his artist skills (or lack-thereof) over the coming weeks! LOL
In our opinion, this is a fabulous adult coloring book! Hubby has about 9 pages done now and he is really enjoying it. If you need to de-stress and relax more…an adult coloring book can definitely help with that!

When I was teaching in public school, I would let the kids occassionally color geometric pictures when they were done with their work. But I have not done that in months. Thank you
It has been awhile. I sometimes color with my kids.
I love coloring! I’ve colored recently and found it to be a great stress-reliever. My daughter and I color together!

it has been a really long time. i honestly don’t remember the last time i colored.

I absolutely love the idea of adult coloring books. With three kids all under the age of 7, I do a lot of coloring. It’s probably the activity I enjoy doing the most with my boys. I have been using the Dover brand coloring books that have a little more detail and I love it! Right now I’m working on a coloring book with different kinds of roses in it. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!
I would love to win an adult coloring book so I can stop using my children’s books lol!

I love to color. It’s been a very busy summer so I haven’t colored in a few months.
I have been coloring for years! It started when I was in grad school (over ten years ago). I was buying some coloring books for my nieces and I bought one for myself too. By the end of that semester of school, I had a collection of coloring books in my office and my fellow grad students and I would sit and color between grading papers and doing research. I love this new trend in adult coloring. The last time I colored was yesterday.
I didn’t like it when I was younger, but now I do like it. I bought one for long trips in our motorhome.
I colored a month ago with my 2 year old niece! So much fun 🙂
I do like to color. I will color with my children whenever we are doing art work.
I love adult coloring books. I have one that is all paisley patterns. It’s very relaxing to sit and do.
I do like coloring. I haven’t done it since I was young though.
I want this for my daughter, she is a grown up, in her 20s, going to grad school, and she has always colored to relieve stress. She realized how much she liked it when she was babysitting and would color with the kids and she rediscovered it.
Used to color all the time
After seeing so many commercials and articles about adult coloring books I recently printed out some pages that I found online and located crayons and colored pencils that hadn’t been used in over a decade. I sat down and colored several days in a row and enjoyed it very much.
I enjoy coloring but I don’t think I have colored in years. I’ve always felt like I haven’t had the time but I think I should make time to color and relax.
I always enjoyed coloring when I was a kid, but it’s been ages since I’ve actually done it. I think the adult coloring book trend is really fascinating.

Last time I colored was a couple of years ago, it’s one of my favorite things. I was coloring with my sister and grandma! We used to do it all the time as kids.
Coloring is a relaxing and wonderful activity. I haven’t in awhile, but I can really see the benefits of it. The last time was with my grandkids.
I love to color for a calming activity. It cannot be rushed and it makes you relax. My sister colors too. This book would be for her.
