Because We're A Generation Of Peter Pans
Who wouldn't like to return to childhood? Let's just take that rather loaded question at face value and bring a piece of childhood back into our lives today with: coloring books. Or rather this coloring book for adults. Peer is advertised as a collaborative art experience. The book is composed of 25 self portraits created by 25 different artists.

Oh I've been wanting to get that book!
great drawings and count me in for the flight to neverland
my friend and I made it trough a slew of lectures with the aid of coloring books! they saved us from many a brain hemorrhage...
i love the one with the birds head.
i used to love colouring books as a child, i must have had hundreds of the things, half finished!!
i still love to color. this is a really neat book.
Aww this is sweet, it's made me want to buy a coloring book and see if i still like it as muck as i once did.
ah.. what love. childhood days are such bliss.
oo fun and oh so whimsical
No thanks to returning to childhood!
It's a neat concept.
Those drawings are really cute. I like all kinds of art, and have occasionally been known to work on a coloring book. One thing that I have noticed is that it seems kind of calming and comforting to color. I know that coloring in a coloring book has helped me to get through a nervous airplane flight more than once.
I hope this won't sound too depressing, but I have somewhat fond memories of a sorority sister who colored a lot, even while the rest of us were spending more of our free time going to parties and things like that. Eventually I learned that she knew that she was dying of leukemia and apparently she was able to get a lot of comfort from coloring.
Like I said, I hope this doen't make you depressed. I know you were feeling lonely, and I hope that you are better today.
Clever idea. I was very bad at colouring as a little girl, I used to go over the edges!
looks like a great idea
I know I'd loveee to return to being a kid!! I actually have a Curious George coloring book and a box of crayons in my room just in case...
i am happy with me now. childhood is great but i like to keep childhood as great memory.
I love coloring! I've never had any talent for drawing, but I can do colors! Whenever I work with kids, I get more excited about the coloring than they do.
I gave you a blog award, here.
I'd say thats a good description of what doodles are to me-a flight to Never Never Land.
oh wow what a cool idea..
When I was little, I never had patience for coloring books - I always just scribbled over them.
I used to love colouring books so much - I'd make such an effort to get colours right and stay in the lines. This book looks incredible :D
Peter Pan was our school play in eighth grade . . . I was the costume designer =]
goodtimesgoodtimes
I so wish I could draw better!

Crayons and plain pictures just waiting for adventures in color--simplicity doesn't get much more perfect!
That looks really fun! I wish I was better at art-y things.
thats really cool. You find awesome art (for lack of a better word) things in the world.
That's a great idea.
What a great idea! I'd love to join you at Never-Never-Land, and start colouring (have always loved colouring, not so good at drawing though...)
I used to like drawing but not coloring when I was a child. I guess I was kind of weird.
A coloring book for adults is a really good idea. I loved (and still do) coloring books when I was a kid.
I've never been good at colouring, could never stay inside the lines, haha. But that project sounds interesting!
And I don't think I'll ever leave Never-Never-Land...
Timing is uncanny for this. I spent a few hours with colouring books yesterday with a five year old kid.
Good fun it was. We do need that from time to time.
This looks beautiful!
What a fantastic idea.
What an amazing book! I want one!
The bird !!
I would seriously LOVE to sit down and draw with colourfull pensils for a hour or two in a book like that. Wonderful!
