Illustrator James Jarvis has just published a colouring book through publisher of many a beautiful zine, Nieves...

The book features his nameless spherical character as he / it performs various tasks from moving around big blocks of stuff (above), to riding bikes, and spending quality time with a smaller, similarly shaped character – which we suspect is its offspring.

The drawings in the 16 page, 19.5 x 25.5 cm book, entitled Coloring Book (printed in an edition of 200), originally appeared in the kids supplement in Apartamento issue #6. $14 from nieves.ch
