Colour Me Calm: Galambos Coloring Cards

Bridgeman is so pleased to announce that one of our Studio artist's works have been licensed for a book of colouring cards through Pomegranate.

Since 2013, more than 13.5 million colouring books have been sold across 50 countries! While there are quite a few companies publishing colouring books (Pomegranate included), there aren't many colouring cards in the market. As Leslie Davisson, Sales and Marketing Director at Pomegranate states, "We are one of the few to combine this format with fine contemporary art. It's a great way to build an appreciation for art in young children".  

Pomegranate began selling the cards in early January and they have already become a total sensation! The cards are available at gift shops, museum stores, bookstores, national parks, Wild Bird shops and toy stores across the country and they're just one click away on Pomegranate's online shop.

About the artist: Tamas Galambos (b. 1939) is an internationally acclaimed artist whose idiosyncratic, sophisticated style renders him a champion of outsider art. He combines the surrealist's free associations with a children's fairy tale fantasy, applying characteristically ornamental, folkloric brushwork.
