Johanna Basford's 2026 Coloring Wall Calendar

About the author

I am an illustrator and ink evangelist who prefers pens and pencils to pixels. I draw pictures and make colouring books--I've sold 25 million of them around the word, perhaps you've seen one? I'm on a mission to inspire the world to put down their devices and pick up a pen or pencil and create a little moment of calm in their day. Anyone can draw or be creative, you just need a little nudge! For me, computer generated artwork lacks the warmth and charm of something hand drawn, so I create all my artwork by hand; drawing first in pencil, then redrawing in ink. I love the tactile nature of the materials I use and the joy of smudgy fingerprints. My delicate hand inked designs intend to charm and delight, inviting you to peer closer and discover the hidden intricacies. I craft images that invite you to pause and examine the artwork a little closer. Hidden within the flora and fauna are rogue butterflies, half hidden hedgehogs and even the odd little owl! In 2019, I broke the Guinness World Record for creating the largest drawing by an individual--but I like drawing little pictures too!
