This cute and quirky cartoon artbook comes from the pen of Phat Cow Cartoons, otherwise known as Carling Tyne, an artist with a love of Anime from Canada.

This book is full of humorous art of all different content, theme and linework, no two pages similar. This includes skulls getting married surrounded by coffins, stitched elephants attached to hot air balloons and underwater creatures floating through outer space! There's also influences of Steampunk, Kawaii, and lots of lowbrow stuff. Take a look through the slideshow or the YouTube video flip through.

The book itself is simple in format and design with a card cover and staple binding. The pages are one sided so there's no problem using markers here. In fact I'd recommend it, as the surface of the paper is so glossy that pencils don't take well to it. There are only 20 designs, which some might think is low for the price. The book is quite niche and if you're a fan of the wacky weird and wonderful I think you'd pay to have this in your collection.

There's a further book coming this summer from Phat Cow, Fairy Tale Coloring Adventure, more news on that as I receive it!

Here's my work in progress- I love Kawaii art!
