Political Samsara is not your typical coloring book; unless your idea of fun is watching history’s worst leaders get karmic payback in the most ridiculous ways possible. Dictators, autocrats, and corrupt buffoons who trampled on people’s lives are now stuck in the endless wheel of rebirth, paying for their crimes as animals, beasts, or utterly useless objects (because, let’s face it, some of them already are).
Ever wondered what a tyrant would look like as a plastic bag drifting through polluted waters? Or a war criminal reborn as something as humiliating as a buttplug? Now you don’t have to. Each cursed reincarnation comes with a darkly poetic tale, adding a lyrical touch to their well-deserved downfall.
This book is satire, catharsis, and an art therapy session for the heart; because sometimes, the best way to deal with the world’s evil is to laugh while coloring it in.

-
Erdogasm
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan President of Turkey
“A buttplug I shall be;
silent, unseen, lost in flesh,
giving pleasure to my own kind,
yet never tasting the sun.Now I am Erdogasm, fate’s cruel jest,
no longer feared, only flushed,
a tyrant reborn, swirling away;
drowned in the shit I once decreed.” -
Kim Pork Un
Kim Jong Un, Supreme Leader of North Korea
“A wolverine of freedom,
every meal I steal;
an enclave of fear.
My dear family rose,
and now, I shall prepare to be torn.A filthy pig’s birth,
out of my glutton’s belly,
ready to be seen
by those who I didn’t set free.” -
Netanyafly
Benjamin Netanyahu Prime Minister of Israel
“A son of a thousand flies,
a perpetuator of suffering,
an insect of goodness;
no deed is made
in the name of humanity,
but on behalf of hostility.My next life will be as terrifying
as the actual one.
I’ll be pursued, tortured,
and see my loved ones being massacred,
like flies in summer.”
And so much more! Dive into the poems and enjoy the illustrations.

Mohamed Big Foot Salman
Prince of Saudi Arabia
“No one may touch me,
A law declared by my own hand,
For I alone shall rule this land,
My greatness vast, my power grand.Life has cursed me, big yet lame,
A foot with neither limb nor name.
No arms, no legs, just steps in vain,
Forever lost in filth and shame.Through mud and grime, I march alone,
A stinking curse that’s overgrown.
No bath nor breeze will set me free,
I’ll reek for all eternity.” -
Alvarusa
Expresident of Colombia
“My life has hardened into stone,
each face, each mind
that met my gaze; petrified.I bow before the old book of chains,
feeding my hunger for power,
a scullion to my own greed.So shall I remain,
like Medusa, carved in fate,
watching liberty bloom;
a flower that will never be mine to touch”. -
Dusty Meloni
Prime Minister of Italy
“My great cleansing
a purge of humanity,
cast like refuse into despair.So shall I be
a specter sweeping the streets,
a silent scourge in the wind.And when the dust settles,
my hair and face
shall bear the stain
of my own deeds.”

Elon Musk: Drug addict and mentally ill Martian. I love it! And now I really get it too. Not just this book but the whole Raw Literature concept. I had to bask in it for a while to take it all in, which I just did and I’m a fan. A lot of new faces in that book since my tour of your studio. Nice work! I’ll share it around and get my colored pencils out too.
