The Story Behind My New Cognitive Coloring Book
Linda Biggs, Founder and Featured Artist at The Cannabis Queen, is proud to introduce the second volume of her new cognitive coloring book! Featuring an imaginative world of relaxing imagery and original cannabis creatures, her cognitive coloring book is the perfect escape for adults who need a break from anxiety and the stressful pace of everyday life.
Inspired From A True Life Story
The Cannabis Queen’s cognitive coloring books were born from a sorrowful but transformational life experience. Linda lost her mother during the worldwide Covid pandemic, and due to the pandemic’s gathering restrictions, Linda never got to experience a celebration of her mother’s life. One of her mother’s favorite pastimes was coloring, so with much effort and love, Linda decided to publish a limited run of 300 cognitive coloring books in her honor. Handing them out to relatives and selling them to long-time customers, many of whom knew her mother, Linda began to receive countless requests for more coloring books. That’s when she decided to create a second volume, and this time, she would make it available for wholesale opportunities!
How Cognitive Coloring Books Helped the Cannabis Queen
It may or may not come as a surprise to you, but the Cannabis Queen has a personal story about the healing power of cognitive coloring books. In 2012, she was in a horrible car accident, and she suffered permanent brain trauma, a crushed spine, and soft tissue damage. Linda couldn’t walk without assistance, and she couldn’t even write her name!
Linda underwent cognitive therapy for over two years, and after extensive practice holding a pencil, writing the alphabet, and forming sentences, she began to draw once again. Her initial drawings were just in black and white, and they ended up being featured in the first volume of her coloring book! Soon, the Cannabis Queen found that the repetition of drawing was just like coloring.
It was around this time that Linda began to use cannabis as an effective aid in pain management, and by 2015, she was able to fully paint once more! During this process of healing, Linda realized that others could benefit from the simple exercise of coloring while having fun at the same time with cannabis-inspired creations. Coloring calms the brain, helps you slow down from the pace of everyday life, and relax while stimulating your sense of creativity.
What’s the Best Way to Enjoy Cognitive Coloring Books?
While everyone has their own coloring preferences, The Queen prefers coloring pencils for her cognitive coloring books. Her personal favorite is Prismacolors. These are an expensive option, but they deliver a rich, velvety output that is second to none. But fear not, the Queen has decreed that even store brand pencils or Crayola crayons will work just fine with her coloring books. The best advice she can give to beginners is to keep a very sharp point while you are coloring with pencils!
What Makes the Queen’s Cognitive Coloring Books So Special?
Any experienced cannabis artist would agree that the cognitive coloring books from the Cannabis Queen have a unique feel all of their own. The images featured in these books are from actual fine art paintings by the Cannabis Queen. Each painting takes about 2 months to create, and every painting was integral to Linda’s healing process. She hopes that your coloring experience is every bit as magical as her own healing journey in the world of coloring.
Future Dreams and Aspirations
The Cannabis Queen intends to create at least three separate volumes of her cognitive coloring book series. She has more images and fantasy realm characters such as fairies, mermaids, elves, flora, and fauna that are just waiting to come to life in a coloring book! Cannabis Queen creations are always adult in nature, though many have a youthful glow that inspires playfulness, whimsy, and uniquely feminine energy.
