Product Description
Product Description
A message from Dave the Chimp: Colouring books are boring! Grown-ups have no idea what us kids want to see and do. We know that painting and drawing and making things is FUN! Luckily, some grown-ups never forget this, and thats why they become artists, so that the fun of making and doing never stops! All the drawings in this book are made by artists that usually make their art in the street (sometimes called Graffiti or Street artists). They put art in places its not supposed to be, make art to make the world smile, like to have fun and dont care about the rules. And they dont care if you colour inside or outside of the lines. So have fun with this book. Fill the pages with colour. Add your own drawings or copy the ones that are here. Cut them out and stick them on your bedroom walls. Help us to make this world a more colourful place. And remember - outside the lines is fine! Outside the Lines enables you to find your inner street artist without leaving your home. Aimed at children, small and large, this book challenges you to create your own street art on the page, inspired by some of the best street artists from around the world.

Format:Paperback
This is great for just mucking around and having a doodle in it. Paper is exactly the same as those in childrens colouring books, so markers can easily go through pages if you are not careful! Great for those into graffiti and older teens. Large book lots of great things to doodle on inside.

I Was Surprised.
1 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
Besides being a reviewer I also write children's books. Illustrations is a BIG part in these books. I was happy to have a chance to review Street Art Doodle Book and perhaps get some new ideas for expression. The book is full of many different doodles, some funny, some strange, but all coming from the mind of creativity.
I took this book and sat down with my eleven year old granddaughter and together we began a really fun adventure with it. It is a book written by street artists. I found that there were no instructions in this book. None of the norm, like stay in the lines when you color, only draw a face a certain way, blah, blah, blah.
NO! Instead the author encourages the user to go wild, if you will. Let your creativity free and just enjoy the act of expression. Do you want to color ourside the lines, do it? Do you have an idea of your own to do on a certain page? Do it. What do you see on each page? What would be fun for you to do?
We had a great time and I was really surprised at the talent my granddaughter showed. Perhaps I have a new illustrator in the making! I think young and old would enjoy this book if they are able to let themselves go. I know we are.

I Have It, Now What Do I Do With It?
10 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I requested this book because I was intrigued by its description: "THE STREET ART DOODLE BOOK enables you to find your inner street artist without leaving your home. Aimed at all ages, this book challenges you to create your own street art on the page, inspired by some of the best street artists from around the world." I expected at least a minimum of instruction or some tips about how to go about creating art like that seen in the book, but instead I received a kind of freaky, yet interesting, coloring book that featured work from at least 75 street artists as well as blank pages to draw on. AND repeated permission to draw/color outside the lines. I don't think that will be enough to help me discover my "inner street artist."
Does this book encourage children to illegally paint on buildings and other types of private property? Not necessarily. But it perhaps soft-pedals graffiti artists' attitude about what they do, though, saying, "[Street artists] put art in places it's not supposed to be, make art to make the world smile, like to have fun and don't care about the rules."
Because this book is quite different from your typical Barbie or Hot Wheels coloring book, I'd like to see the author rework his introduction and provide more guidance on how to use the book and how kids might look at the art as a way to learn some techniques and develop pictures that express what's important in their lives.
I'd also like to urge the author to remind colorers and parents that in the back of the book he has listed the featured artists' names, websites, and email addresses, an important resource easily missed.

A coloring book for kids and adults alike
2 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I was excited to receive this book. I love crafts and my husband is an artist. Recently, I bought him a box of good, old fashioned crayons as a present and promptly realized that no one made coloring books anymore. (where did they all go, anyway?) The doodle series is a great alternative `coloring book' that also allows you to spend some time filling in blank spaces with whatever you would like. This is done to amuse kids and adults alike.
This addition is filled with the art of over 75 street artists. Some of the images are hectic, a few are cute, and all are very creative. I think that anyone who likes outsider art would like this, as would most kids from the age of about 8 and up. Just give them this and a nice set of markers, and they should be good for a road trip.
If you are looking for a present, or just something to jog your creative juices, give this book a try. You will not be disappointed.
Recommended.
