Graffiti Coloring Book (Graffiti Coloring Book, 1)

This is a really lovely colouring book and presented on excellent quality paper but it would be helpful if the description could state that the graffiti is from Scandinavian countries and, therefore, not in English. Maybe this was in the description but I missed it. This might seem a bit picky but I bought the book for my autistic teenage son who is obsessed with different forms of word art and lettering. He did not seem to recognise that this is what the book contains and my conclusion was that it was because he did not recognise any of the words. Consequently he is not interested in colouring in it. Other than this the book is a beauty and my 9 year old son loves it but I thought I would write this review really for the benefit of any other parents of letter- or word-obsessed autistics.

Based on the many 5-star reviews here I bought the book but am a little disappointed in the artwork. Many of the lines are messier than I'd expected (hand-drawn designs appear to have been scanned and not cleaned up or toned much) and the designs are not quite as cool as I'd hoped. But that may be a matter of taste.Also, on the back it states "Get out your markers..." but because both sides of the pages have been printed, you can't use 'graffiti-type' permanent markers as the ink would seep through the paper and ruin the design on the back. It's more a case of 'Get out your felt tips and use them sparingly...'.Printing on alternate pages would solve this (but would obviously mean less designs or a fatter book).Anyway, despite the above criticism, there are some nice designs in there, so it's not a complete disappointment, but could have been so much better.

Nice in depth colouring

Bought this for my 7 year old son who loves graffiti and he loved this. I found it hard to find products graffiti related so I was pleased to get this. I would recommend this to anyone who loves graffiti.

Really like the book format great for first time Graffiti artist ours was used as a idea for a wall for a horror themed event and we got the local children adults to express their art so the book was brilliant for ideas for all ages

I chanced upon this when looking for a stocking filler for my future son in law who enjoys doodling and looking at graffiti art, he loved it and has spent a lot of time 'colouring' whilst being forced to watch girlie flicks :)

Kids like it

Magic and better than anticipated will be purchasing further issues when fully completed my own artistic version of other peoples work.
