Dark Matter Nola R Hintzel

DARK MATTER is an eerie yet fascinating coloring book with symmetrical patterns made up of spots, splotches, splashes, curls, swirls, lines, circles, sticks, bones, and hidden faces. In fact, at first glance the images may even remind you of a psychologist's ink blot test. But these elements and particulates are intended to symbolically represent the invisible debris in space which is brought to life by you, the colorist. It is a book in which the colorist will often seem to be drawing and coloring at the same time. DARK Matter Volume 1 consists of 37 white abstract patterns on a black background instead of the usual black on white ground found in most coloring books. There are many thin lines with this artwork, so thinner tipped pencils, markers or gel pens are recommended. As with many coloring books, especially those with black backgrounds such as this, it is highly recommended that you place a blank sheet behind the image you are coloring to prevent ink bleed (and maybe even 2 sheets if you are using alcohol markers).
