David Newton is an artist and author known for the adult colouring book Faraway Fantasies: Journey to the Land of Colouring Calm. This work features 40 designs, including landscapes, mandalas, patterns and creatures, intended for relaxation and creative escape.
The book’s concept draws inspiration from Newton’s childhood affinity for Enid Blyton’s The Folk of the Faraway Tree as well as his interest in Art Nouveau and early 20th-century illustration and design.
Faraway Fantasies was published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in 2018 and spans 90 pages.
Newton’s author page lists Faraway Fantasies as his primary published book, and sales listings indicate it continues to be available through online book retailers.
