Snark & Bloom: A Sarcastic Coloring Book for Adults
Snark & Bloom is a printable sarcastic coloring book for adults: 30 original, funny quotes set in big hollow hand-lettering and framed with flowers, botanicals and patterns. Peony wreaths, potted cacti, paisley borders, art deco fans, lemons, lazy cats, peacock feathers, a celestial frame and a seaside border all wrap around lines like “Small talk is my cardio, and I hate cardio.” Every quote is written by us, never borrowed from a slogan shirt, and every word is typeset, so the spelling is always right.
You get two complete editions in one download. The Clean Sarcastic Edition has no swear words at all, so it is perfect for the office, the break room and gifts for coworkers. The Sweary Edition is for adults only: it adds mild to moderate swearing for grown-up giggles, with no slurs, no sexual content and nothing aimed at any group of people. It is labeled ADULTS ONLY (18+) on the cover, on every page and in the file name.
Who These Funny Adult Coloring Pages Are For
- Anyone who needs to decompress after work and would rather laugh than meditate
- Girls’ nights, birthday parties and craft evenings (each guest needs their own copy)
- Coworkers and office friends, with the Clean edition as a safe, cheeky gift
- Sarcastic friends and family who would love a framed page that says what they are thinking
- Beginners and experienced colorists, with Medium pages for relaxed evenings and Intricate pages for fine pens
Why You’ll Love It
- Original quotes and original art: 30 different floral and pattern frames, not clip art
- Big hollow letters with a shadow outline, so you can color the words and their shadow in two shades
- Pick your tone: an office-friendly edition and an adults-only edition in the same download
- Every page is labeled Medium or Intricate, so you can match the page to your mood and your free time
- Single-sided pages, so markers never bleed onto another design
Features
30 hand-lettered sarcastic quotes in each edition
Each quote mixes three lettering styles: bold shadowed capitals for the punchline, hollow serif words to color, and a small script for the little words. The layout is fitted to the empty center of each frame, so the words and flowers feel like one design. Fifteen pages are Medium, with bold, open shapes, and fifteen are Intricate, with fine petals and tiny patterns.
Blank banners for your own phrase
Four blank-banner pages in each edition give you a ribbon, a vintage label, a wavy banner across a daisy wreath and a double ribbon, each with faint guide lines. Add a name, a birthday message, a team motto or the inside joke your friends will not stop repeating.
Lettering helpers
A How to Color Hand-Lettering page shows four easy effects in color: ombre, drop shadow, pattern fill and soft halo. A palette guide offers six mood palettes (Passive-Aggressive Pastels, Monday Blues, Sarcastic Sunset, Grumpy Garden, Hot Mess Brights and Fake Smile Neutrals) with empty boxes to test your own pencils. A hollow lettering alphabet helps you fill the blank banners.
