Im going to use it for patterns for painting; spray painting and canvas. I opened it and theres absolutely no way I can color those pages. I looked at each page; and you can feel Keith Harings energy. I think my favorite page is the dogs. But every page is amazing. Its quite unique and theres no way I can even color those pages. This is quite possibly; the coolest thing I own and the coolest thing on .Oh and its large; I was surprised how large the box was; and the pages are over sized. And with thick lines. Unfortunately the back of the pages also are printed. But for me; it doesnt matter. It will be along time before I color it. It means so much to just own it.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Great; but...By KnabThe Haring pictures in this coloring book are fantastic. The chosen designs are great for adults or children. I would have loved to keep them all as a "colored in" book for my granddaughter. But.. you must decide which ones you like the best because the pages are just a bit too thin. Colors from one side "bleed" through to the back of the page if using markers; especially very bright colors (which are the Haring "look"). You can use other mediums like pencils or crayons; but you cant really get the vibrant colors with these. It would have been great if each page was printed on only one side so you didnt ruin half of the pages. Or.. you could buy 2 of them.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Now I knew a good amount about him before reading this book. But; this book gave me a chance to delve into one of my favorite artists head. Very well organized. The prelude at the beginning was a tad long. The book overall was amazing. I even started tearing towards the end because I knew if the incoming end. Loved it! Can you image how his art would have looked if he were still alive today?
