Review: The Bicycle Colouring Book — Chinese illustrator Shan Jiang's unique style shines through in his new colouring book

Colouring books for adults have been around for years. But it's only recently – much due to the success of Scottish illustrator Johanna Basford's Secret Garden title – that people have got their best pencils out for what has become a global movement in meditative coloring.

If you like the weird and wonderful, then you'll love this book. Featuring everything from giant rabbit mountains to whales flying through the sky, each illustration is brilliantly insane. And while the drawings are a sometimes a bit 'out there', there's no denying the artistic talent of Jiang, with each illustration absolutely littered with fine detail, just waiting to be brought to life in colour.
