Vancouver-based artist Camilla d’Errico is bringing her trademark pop realism style to another project.  Known for her painted comic book art, designs, and commercial projects for Disney, Dark Horse, Image, Hot Topic, Hasbro, and more, her next project makes our list of recommended gift ideas for fans of manga art.  It’s categorized as an “adult” coloring book, but it’s sure to appeal to kids of all ages.  You’re probably going to want to add some actual glitter–the Pop Manga Beauties and Beasties Cooking Book, is now available here at Amazon.

Here are four pages from the book:

Great for your favorite fantasy kid at heart, the Pop Manga Beauties and Beasties Cooking Book is now available here at Amazon.
