More Details:

William Blake was an 18th and 19th-century British Romantic poet who saw visions that inspired a mind-boggling belief system expressed in mind-boggling art.

Working with etching and ink before coloring in his black-and-white art, Blake's art is perfect for coloring by today's colorists. His impressive body of literary and artistic work continues to influence artsy types everywhere. The images in this coloring book show how much Blake was influenced by the Bible and Western "classicism," although his religious beliefs were far from traditional, which becomes obvious in the info and quotes from Blake included in this book. Bursting with fantastical imagination, this guy makes pious art seem downright trippy.

We've adapted a choice selection of Blake's art, making 18 artworks ready for you to color with your unique creative vision. The collection here samples works from a variety of Blake's endeavors, altered just enough for you to make your mark. We've also included facts about each image and relevant snippets of Blake's creative writings, just in case you're curious.

This book is great for those who love this kind of art, who are senior adults, who have conditions like movement disorders, who don't like staying in the lines, and who are just plain tired of coloring thousands of tiny little bits like in other adult coloring books!

With this coloring book, let Blake's creativity spark your own. Pick up where he left off. Take hold of the old and make something new. Experiment, have fun, and, when you like the result, hang it on a wall with pride--and post a photo on this Amazon page;-)
