The Bardo Coloring Book Series

Created by Uncle Claude (aka Claude Needham), 1991

Step into the labyrinth.

The Bardo Coloring Books were born in 1991 as a way to capture fleeting images of the bardo—that dreamlike in-between space—while leaving the final act of discovery to you, the colorist. Each page offers the outline of a vision, a map of possibility. The rest is yours to explore.

Crayons, ink washes, graphite shading, wild patterns, or colors you invent yourself—every page invites you to bring the image to life in your own way. Think of it as:

A meditative art practice

A playful experiment in color and form

A thread through the labyrinth leading inward

The drawings themselves emerged from moments of creative play, each one an invitation rather than a conclusion. Whether you stay simple or dive into layers of shading and texture, each page becomes a collaboration between the artist and the colorist.

What's Inside

Hand-drawn images from the original 1991 series

Open-ended designs for endless variations

Three volumes—each with its own set of bardo-inspired visions

How to Use the Books

There’s no right or wrong approach. Some possibilities:

Relax and color casually for simple pleasure.

Explore meditative or ritual coloring—slowing down as you work.

Experiment with advanced shading, patterns, or color effects.

Whether you treat it as play, art, or spiritual exploration, each page leads somewhere new.

Available Volumes

Each volume is sold separately as a PDF download so you can print, reprint, and experiment as much as you like.
