Special Review: Sanctuaries

First of all, this special review is not about Foldabots, but about another book from the creator of Foldabots, this time, in a form of a coloring book, not for children, but for adults.

The title of the book is simply called "Sanctuaries" an adult coloring book made by Jomike Tejido, the same guy who brought us the phenomenal Foldabots, vivid illustrations for a selection of nice children's storybooks, and the adorable Robotars.

The cover has nothing much special, no flashy illustrations, no edginess, but the nice thing about it, is the abstract yet relaxing colors of the cover itself.

Inside, you'll see the contents of the book with 32 pages in it (30 out of them are the main coloring panels), and also included are some of the creator's nice 'Banig Paintings' which are the inspiration of the coloring outlines. I haven't colored one of the pages of the book yet as if I'm reviewing this before I can work on it. Results of the colored panels may vary depending on the coloring tool and person who colored it.

Interesting enough, I strongly recommend picking up this book for those veteran Folda-Fans or not, who want to pass time by relieving stress through art, which is available at most bookstores in the Philippines. For almost the same price as any of the Foldabots Toy Books created by Jomike Tejido, Sanctuaries is a good addition to your collection, or if you want a new coloring book to work on, or simply give it as a gift to your loved ones or to yourself.

Apart from today is the 30th EDSA People Power Anniversary, this review is dedicated to all my avid readers for the past few years of this blog. I will be back again mid-March, with another #foldabots10 special which you'll definitely love. Until then, this have been The Foldabots Blog, we'll see you next time.
