    • This one I'd reference as tasty popcorn and perhaps there lies its zeitgeist and achievement. There's loads of great artwork inside and the pictures are well shot. The random stops, texts and sort of useful via useless explanation in things did get addictive. I raced through them. I didn't close the book til I'd gotten through it all. The book feels like a well communicated poem. Pictures and words interacting to create a commentary that is punk enough to follow its own drum. -Modart

We have to start using horrible pictures of things like overflowing ashtrays and elephants making love. Why? Simple. We have run out of pretty drawings. The Mindless Colouring book is not so much mindful as mindless. It's not even really a book. If you like it, you are an awful, awful person. And yet...you do like it.
