Etsy artist Sarah Bigwood recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for her 'Sweary Colouring Book.' In recent years, adult coloring books have become a popular way for consumers to relax and unwind. However, the majority of these books are characterized by floral illustrations and soothing script.
Unlike other coloring books, the Sweary Colouring Book is intended for those who are interested in releasing anger instead of stress. The book is filled with 20 pages of creative swear words that are just waiting to be colored in. Although the words may be crass, they are outlined with adorable doodles that can help to sooth any angry soul.
While Bigwood has published two additional coloring books, her latest work takes a slightly more crude approach to the popular pastime.
