Spirts of Easter Postcards | Imaginary Friends | Ticket To Dreams | Po Drugiej Stronie Snu Coloring Book Reviews
Polish illustrator and tattooist, Karolina Kubikowska is one of my favorite artists.  Her dark style of drawing is fascinating and unique in the coloring book world.  Some people in the coloring world describe Karolina’s illustrations as greyscale.  For me, the textural compositions that Karolina creates are not grayscale but rather pen and ink.  No matter how you describe her style, it is beautiful and very, very different in both style and subject.
Her tattoos look so ethereal that they often make me want to book a flight to Poland and have some ink permanently etched by Karolina on me.
Every book that Karolina has produced I have purchased as soon as it was released (or in the case of Ticket to Dreams as soon as it was in stock again).  Yet every time, her books arrive, something in my life goes awry which means that the books do not get reviewed as quickly as possible.   In the case of Po Drugiej Stronie Snu …..it’s fast approaching 3 years that I’ve owned this beauty but never reviewed it.   Most of the books though have been shown in either coloring collection or coloring haul videos.
Today my plan is to show all the coloring books that Karolina has created to date.  Of course, you may have already seen or own many of these coloring books. If that is the case, you can skip ahead to the book review you want to see by using the links below.

Milly, my beautiful kitty appears to be a new fan of Karolina’s work.  You will see that she has decided to take part in some of this video 🙂

Where to buy Po Drugiej Stronie Snu Coloring Book
Po Drugiej Stronie Snu Coloring Book was the first book published by Karolina Kubikowska.  The book was originally available on Book Depository. However, it is now unavailable. Abe Books often have “hard to find” books that have many copies listed of Po Drugiej Stronie Snu Coloring Book.  However, the prices are incredibly high, as are the ones listed on various Amazon sites.
The etailer below has a stock of the coloring book and has had the most reasonable price for it that I have found, at the time of writing.  Although it may not appear that the etailer ships internationally, they do.  You simply need to contact them to calculate the shipping cost to your country.
