Bosozoku Style Coloringbook normal edition
The normal edition with be slightly different from the limited edition:
Now all I have to do is fire up Illustrator and draw the remaining four coloringpages! ๐
Can’t say when it will become available, but I reckon it will be ASAP!
by banpei with no comments yetA Bosozoku Style Coloring book? WTF?!
It all started two and a half years ago when me and a friend of mine thought it would be a great idea to create an AE86 related coloring books for his daughter and my son. Of course I forgot about it until a few weeks ago my almost three year old son told me his coloringbook was boring because the only pages not colored yet were the girly ones…
Bosozoku Style Coloringbook
The idea of making a car related coloringbook came back to me and I decided to make him a Bosozoku Style coloring book since I’m already running that site. And what is more tough and a Bosozoku coloringbook?
So I started drawing, fast! I barely made it in time and he got the proof copy on his birthday. He started coloring the round taillights on the Skyline Japan immediately! Big success! ๐
Of course I did consider that if I thought it was a rad idea, many more would also think alike. So I printed all 12 pages in a limited run of 20 to share them with you!

If the demand is high enough I will reprint them as a normal book (with additional pages).
The Coloringbook is for sale for 5 euros (or 5.34 dollars for non EU-residents) at the Bosozoku Style section of the AEU86 shop:

We received some great bosozoku style inspired artwork by Gee Halen (Gรกbor Vajda) and Gunwoo! Gee Halen’s artwork is more scetchy and Gunwoo’s sent us some almost real photoshops!
Gunwoo’s artwork:
Bosozoku style artwork: Gunwoo’s sharknosed Evo 7
I always wondered what a modern zokusha would look like… I guess this Evo 7 photoshop reflects that perfectly!
More artwork after the jump!

Bosozoku style artwork: Gunwoo’s BMW E30 zokusha
As you can see: the E30 is actually a perfect base for a zokusha! It is boxy, it is eighties, its able to cope with wide fenders and wheels and its got enough oomph to do donuts with! ๐

The JDM Rat Fink is a clear view on the way Robin modified his N13 from Rat to zokusha. ๐
