I draw things and write.
Pencils and ink are my go-to favorites but with a background in graphic design and illustration, I also work in digital media.
I started by writing and illustrating five bright and colorful children's picture books in the Bunyip Tree series.
In 2020, I released Steampunk Houses Coloring Book. I love getting lost in the imaginary worlds I draw and adding color to these illustrations can become an almost meditative experience. There are now more than 15 coloring books in the R.J. Hampson series. Whether you enjoy coloring quirky buildings, manic machines, moonlit gardens, or underwater scenes, there is something for you.
I hope you enjoy the flip-throughs, how-to-videos, and book trailers to be found on this page.

It’s going in my cart today !!!! I was watching Jackie’s video coloring her first page in this book it’s stunning ❤ this book looks not to be quite as busy and I’m loving that ! ❤
Thank you Jackie!
@@rjhampson your welcome Russ I can’t wait to get Amazon says thur 😂
The window makes me think of the Millennium Falcon! ✨ Absolutely love the new book! 💕
Nice pick up Amy! I was going for the star wars vibe with that window. Thanks
@ 🥰
Such a handsome fella!!! 💚
He's a looker! 😊
Hi RJ! I received my book on Friday! LOVE IT! The other version of this picture made me laugh... the other mouse/rat has a look on his face... so funny! I love the humor in your artwork. It is truly what makes them stand out. I love that it has some old friends and that the castaway finally gets off of his island! Mr. Fogherty and Snail as a spin on Holmes and Watson is truly right up my street. I love all things Holmes. I bet Mr. Fogherty is just as brilliant. Love this color along... thank you for sharing.
Thanks katy, glad you enjoyed it and that you are loving the book!
Hi RJ! I received mine this week (and left a review). This book is so lovely and whimsical! A couple of the pages made me laugh out loud! I love seeing some old friends. Also, Mr. Fogherty and Snail as Holmes and Watson...BRILLIANT! Thank you for another beautiful book!
Thanks so much Katy! 😊 Yes, Mr Fogherty has started his crime solving phase.
so excited for your new book!
Thanks Pam! It's out now 😊
I can't wait for all of R.J. Hampson's adult coloring books to be available in a good quality if needed multiple PDFs so that I can print out the whole books on the choice of my paper in my home printer that can only print on paper up to 110 lbs only.
Thanks Brittany! Whole books are becoming available at the online shop as PDF's - I'm working my way through the catalogue preparing the files. You can see where I'm up to here : store.rjhampson.com
The hardcover books- is the paper better quality? Ty
Yes, the Hardcover books have better quality paper and no duplicates. So the options currently are: 1) the paperback books have duplicates with a difference and are printed on Amazon KDP paper which changes depending on location from 50-61 pound (74-90 GSM), 2) the hardcovers are not Amazon printed, have one set of illustrations and are 70lb (105gsm), 3) and we have PDF downloadable packs from the online shop: store.rjhampson.com And we will keep adding different paper options as they become available, we are always looking for that magic combination of quality, affordability and global distribution.
I love this format. Thanks.
Thank you!
I've been using my alcohol blenders for water soluble media for a few months now, haven't touched a water brush since. It's so nice, so much easier on the paper and no bleed. I did refill one with 90% alcohol with success, but never even thought of using it in my waterbrush. Thanks for that.. it would me much easier to clean, which is the only downfall so far with the blender, it can be difficult to get the color out of the nib, especially with inktense which is so vibrant. I know what I'm doing this weekend...
That's great! It does seem to blend nicely but warp the paper less. Have fun this weekend.
Thank you! I really enjoyed this video, learned a lot, and will definitely buy the book!❤️
Thank you! 😊
Can’t wait to order this one!
Thank you.
I got my book yesterday!!! Every book gets better. ❤ I enjoy these color-a-longs. Your comments and tips are really helpful. I enjoy exploring "your world" through these videos. Thank you, RJ!

Your new book is very beautiful. Enjoyed all the pages they are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I slowed the video down it the settings and the music still had a very nice sound. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤

The Serendipity page is one of my favorites. My new book arrives today. Thanks for choosing my first page to color. I really enjoy hearing your thought processes as well as seeing alcohol markers combined with pencils.
Thank you Bridget! Enjoy coloring.
It's so fun watching you color! My book is expected to arrive next Monday and I'm looking forward to getting started in it. Have a great day!
Thank you Sally! Enjoy coloring on Monday.
I loved how you made it come alive.. actually I enjoyed it so much I have just ordered your book 😊
So fun Mandy! Thank you.
@ just a Thankyou for the tip of using isocol instead of water in the water rush pens there is a difference works a treat x
Love the pink gloves. Very good point about him raiding the kitchen for supplies! 😂 Thank you for sharing with us. 😊
Thank you Jennifer.
What fun! Thanks for sharing how you colour your images….I always enjoy hearing your thoughts about how the characters or images develop. 😊 PS the pink rubber gloves are a great touch 😂
Glad you enjoyed it Jackie!
Thanks so much for doing the coloring. It is so fun to see the artist choosing the colors for his illustration. Please share what your pencil sharpener is. Thanks
Thank you Cathy. You are welcome. My sharpener is the T'GAAL Multisharpener. It allows you to adjust the angle of the point.
Love it!
Thank you! 😊
Every book find its own place in my world!!! Love this one so much! well done again!! "The elephant in the room" might be my favorite.....although....hmmmm...so good!!!!
Thanks Beth! The elephant in the room stil makes me laugh. 😊
I can't wait to get this in hard cover. What a beautiful book.
Thank you Shannon. 😊
Didn’t need to look through, on it’s way. Thank you 😊
Hope you like it! 😊 Thank you.
I love the way you pick a colour palette for each book! It makes each one really cohesive and makes the perfectionist in me happy 😂 I can't wait to get this one!
Thank you Lottie! 😊 It's fun working the palette through all the illustrations for each book and sometimes a challenge.
@rjhampson Yes, I think it makes them look very professional! I'm still continuing my collection backwards, as I only discovered you quite recently. Well I think A Frog's Tale was my first book 🐸 But I'm actually quite happy because I'm getting the duplicates with a difference, instead of two copies of the same. My copy of A Frog's Tale is one that has a second set of the same images, but I'm going to keep that one untouched because you never know how much things can be worth in the future! And I'd like a copy of A Frog's Tale with duplicates with a difference 😂 That's probably my main reason 🤣
Beautiful - but will wait for the hardback version. X
Thanks Diane. Working on getting the Hardcover linked up. 😊
Just purchased BUT I always order the hardback book as well... can you tell me when it will be avail for this book???
Thanks Shelly! The hardback is coming - there is a glitch in the matrix... or maybe it's just the Christmas rush? 😊
Wow Fantastic Book
Thank you Jamie! 😊
@rjhampson Your welcome 🤗
Another must have 😍
Thank you! 😊
Elephants and aliens are my favorites so far. I ❤ your humor. Thank you, RJ! I can't wait to get this in my 👐. Mine will be here on Thursday, let the countdown begin! ⌛️.
Awesome! Thank you Janet! 😊 Enjoy your Thursday parcel and the elephants.
Beautiful book can’t wait to get it
Thank you Margarita! 😊
Wow!! Love it! RJ you hit this one out of the park!!! I can’t wait to color in this book!
Thank you! 😊
Love this! It's like stepping into a Secret Garden entwined with the whimsical and witty charm of RJ Hampson's world. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Lovely description Jody! Thank you 😊
Ordered one straight after the flip through .Beautiful pages .
Thanks Linda! Enjoy 😊
Love it!! I love all the critters and the people too. I think keep doing exactly what your doing because your smashing it. Already ordered it ❤
Thank you so much! Enjoy 😊
Please slow the flips down. Even at 25% speed my 50 yr old eyes can't keep up and see what is in the book. By the time my eyes focus on the scene it's already moving and blurry. Like I could tell there was a Mr. Frogerty page but I have no idea what he was doing. I assume this one has the "pages with a difference"? It didn't mention that or if it did I missed it. Of the ones I saw clearly I do love the aliens in the dollhouse, so cute.
Thank you! 😊 I will do an artist flip-through soon which will be at a more sedate pace and show all the duplicates with a difference.
Love the new book! Ordered!
Hey Sally, thank you! 😊
Amazing! Love your artwork, always.😊
Thank you Melissa! 😊
Must have
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely adore this! On my wish list to add to my collection! 💗
Thank you Annie! 😊
