Fancy colouring in your own face?
Colour Me Book

Can’t get enough of the adult colouring trend?

Well, now you can go one step further in your quest to colour a masterpiece worthy of a space above your mantelpiece – by having pictures of your own face immortalised in your very own illustrated colouring book.

Self-indulgent artists can pick up their own copy of Color Me Book for just $25 (roughly £17), an online LA start-up that will print and send five pictures of you to colour in - all you have to do is upload them to its website.

The company was started in Cory Will’s living room in Los Angeles when he spotted his fiancée colouring in a book.

He says: “I wanted to order her a personalized one with photos of our dogs but I couldn't find one anywhere!”

I had my friend, who works at a print shop, make me one to give her. When I showed friends and family they wanted to order them for themselves.”

Mr. Will says he hand-traces each order in the US, and prints up to five images in each book.

Customers are also able to get a one-page downloadable image for $5 (£3.50) if they can’t wait for their custom photo book to appear in the post.

Even better? Color Me Book offer worldwide shipping – but it will set you back $15 (about £10).

Or perhaps it’s time to give that selfie-indulgent Instagrammer you’ve seen far too much of on your feed the ultimate ‘me time’ companion – endless evenings of admiring their own face.
