About the author

With a background in illustration and graphic design, R. J. Hampson brings a unique blend of creative thought to his work in both traditional and digital media but is happiest when he tells a story.
Originally known as the author and illustrator of the Bunyip Tree series of children's books, Russell writes: "I was intrigued by the machines in my local Australia Post mail center and was inspired to draw them. This became the seed that inspired my first illustrated children’s book which features a kangaroo, called Roopert, who delivers the mail."
"Having cottoned on that being a children’s book author and illustrator meant I could draw whatever I liked, the next book was about a wombat named Wombi who loved heavy machinery. And then came a possum, platypus, koala, fire engines, trains, and before I knew it there were 5 in the series and plans for more!"
And in 2020, Russell decided to release some of his more fanciful illustrations as a series of coloring books.
"Adding color to my illustrations is so much fun. I wanted to share the joy of this almost meditative experience and launched the R.J.Hampson series of coloring books. Whether you enjoy coloring quirky buildings, manic machines, moonlit gardens, or underwater scenes, there is something for everyone in these books."
Today, Russell draws and writes in his studio on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, where the beach calls to him along with the parrots.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAnother hit from RJ Hampson. Got this for my 94 year old dementia patient and she loved it!!!! She loves sleeping so to find a book about one of her favorite activities brought such a smile to her face. She loves to 'read' this book and often pages through the pictures carefully reading each description. RJ Hampson never disappoints and I own just about every coloring book hes put out. They are great and so are these 'asleep'and 'awake' books he has put out!

- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis coloring book has really adorable pictures by a very talented illustrator. They are fairly simple pictures for easy and relaxed coloring in between some other more complicated and detailed coloring books. Very thin paper but only single sided to that works fine.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThe perfect “snack-sized” coloring pages for when you want to relax but you prefer to color something a little more challenging than just a big, bold single item what like can be found in other “easy” books. Mr. Hampson’s illustrations are cute, fun and whimsical and they are great for any aged audience.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2024Format: PaperbackThis is such a fun coloring book. Unfortunately, it was so damaged in shipping that I decided to return it. I wish there was a way to purchase it without crummy packaging. It was meant to be a gift but I couldn’t use it in the mangled condition it arrived in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a sweet book
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI got ‘Awake’ first and loved the designs and so had to get this one too. With its single sided images it’s great for colouring with alcohol markers and the illustrator also posts videos on YouTube of how he colours the pages, so great to colour along.
- David WillersdorfReviewed in Australia on May 17, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Cute, Quirky and Fun
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI recent bought “Asleep” after seeing that it was part of a new range of colouring books being released by R J Hampson. It differs to others of his books by being a bit more simple and not as elaborate so that people can colour in more quickly. It’s similar to his other books in the inclusion of fun, quirky characters and also includes his sense of humour too. I love it. I’m also enjoying the variety of the books R J Hampson is creating. It’s great to be a part of the growing international community of people who have been enjoying his approach. Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a cute book
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI was looking for a cute simple book to colour with my alcohol markers. This book is just so cute and is 1 sided so perfect for alcohol markers as long as you put something behind the protect the next page. Here is the first page I coloured.
