In May 2020, Grimes debuted her first fine art show, selling “a fraction of her soul” alongside notebook drawings and anime-inspired digital prints, some of which featured her digital avatar, WarNymph. Now though, everyone can get their hands on some of her art in the form of a colouring book.
Titled “Miss Information”, Grimes’ first colouring book was officially released earlier this week (November 24) and features 16 original digital drawings by the musician-slash-artist.
The book also includes a poem generated by AI. Despite acknowledging the existential threat of artificial intelligence, Grimes also debuted a relaxing, AI-driven lullaby back in October, inspired by X Æ A-XII and the “aimless crap” that babies usually have to listen to.
“The form of the colouring book is necessarily incomplete,” explains a statement on the book, adding that it’s up to fans to complete it. The statement also draws parallels with another collective project from earlier this year: namely, Grimes invited fans to create visuals for “You’ll Miss Me When I’m Not Around”, publicly posting green screen assets and audio stems for the Miss Anthropocene track.
