My previous two posts, The Top 30 Coolest Coloring Books For Grown-Ups and The Coolest Coloring Books For Grown-Ups, Part II.

Mad For Ads? Taschen Publishes New Book on Ads from the Mad Men Era





Gleaned from thousands of images, this companion set of books offers the best of American print advertising in the age of the “Big Idea.” At the height of American consumerism magazines were flooded with clever campaigns selling everything from girdles to guns.






These optimistic indicators paint a fascinating picture of the colorful capitalism that dominated the spirit of the 1950s and 60s, as concerns about the Cold War gave way to the carefree booze-and-cigarettes Mad Men era.





Also included is a wide range of significant advertising campaigns from both eras, giving insight into the zeitgeist of the time. Bursting with fresh, crisp colors, these ads have been digitally mastered to look as bright and new as the day they first hit newsstands.




The editor:
Cultural anthropologist and graphic design historian Jim Heimann is Executive Editor for TASCHEN America, and author of numerous books on architecture, pop culture, and the history of the West Coast, Los Angeles, and Hollywood. His unrivaled private collection of ephemera has been featured in museum exhibitions around the world and dozens of books.

The Coolest Coloring Books For Grown-Ups, Part II. Twenty New Ones for 2011-2012.




One of my most popular posts was that of the 30 Coolest Coloring Books for Grown-Ups back in 2009, so it's time for an update. Since then there have been some fabulous additions to the category by everyone from luxury brands to well-known low-brow artists to individuals self-publishing their own unique coloring books.

Here are my picks for the coolest coloring books of 2011-2012 (some not even out yet but available for pre-order).

Color Ink Books by Brothers Washburn.



To start with, if you are not familiar with the fabulous DIY Periodicals, Color Ink Books by the Brothers Washburn, you've been missing out. Their motivation was to create a venue that would infuse the artists with the art enthusiasts. The publications are printed in black and white and give the readers the option to add their own color.



Each 8.5' x 11' 100 page volume features a who’s who of pop surrealists, lowbrow, avant garde, underground, graffiti, street and subversive artists as well as many up and comers.




Tara McPherson, Luke Cheh, Rob Reger, Steve Daily and Chris Ryniak are just a few of the participating artists. Shop for them here
