{ law & order: artistic intent" coloring books }

brandon bird, an artist from california, has created a nifty little coloring book out of one of my favorite guilty pleasures- law & order... well, not really guilty, it IS a great show or it probably wouldn't still be on the air after what is it now, like 30 years??? seems like it... the book features 16 pages to color with some fun connect the dot and maze activities too... yes, color your way through a brutal murder, an intense investigation and all the racial profiling you can stand... you can preview and pick up one of these great little treasures here... conan even showed law & order star jerry orbach the coloring book on his show... the book will run you about $12 + shipping and while you're ordering, be sure to take a look at the rest of bird's artwork displayed on his site... pretty neat stuff... especially if you're a mr. t fan or just a fan of really neato artwork in general...

My main man Dirty Benjamin found some sweet scans of this online, and I don't think I've laughed that hard in recent memory.
It's not just the deft application of TV cop stereotypes to the coloring book format that makes this work, it's that Bird's drawings and the language he uses gel into something that transcends both the coloring book and the TV cop drama. It's not just a novelty, it's art. You'll feel it when you're reading about neighborhood flunkie Ray-Ray as he describes what he saw on the night in question.
