Grimes poses on a giant PLANT POT and plays the accordion as she promotes her new colouring book

New mother Grimes took to Instagram to share a series of offbeat snapshots on Thursday, as she promoted the release of her new colouring book.

The 32-year-old musician – who welcomed son X Æ A-Xii six months ago with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, 49 – released her first art book Grimes: Miss Information, a Coloring Book earlier this week.

And to mark the occasion, the star shared a snap of herself sipping from a wine glass while posing atop a giant plant pot, while in another she played the accordion.

Sporting her signature eclectic style, Grimes sported a black top and skirt with pink tights, while she wore her hair in dyed blue curls.

She captioned the snaps: ‘Hey guys my coloring book is in stores now. If u wanna support indie/ local book stores u can get it at (link in bio). Illustrations by grimes.’ 

Grimes’ Thanksgiving Day posts come after she opened up about her approach to parenting, including how her son X Æ A-Xii already has shown  his tastes and preferences – including the 1979 war film Apocalypse Now. 

‘I’ve watched Apocalypse Now and stuff with my baby,’ she told  The New York Times. ‘He’s into radical art. Like, he just actually is, and I don’t think it’s problematic to engage with them on that level.’

The Canadian songstress currently uses the name c in regards to the speed of light.

Grimes, real name is Claire Elise Boucher, said she has worked with an app called Endel to make an ‘A.I. Lullaby’ for the child and help him sleep better, gauging his reactions when he would ‘smile more and stuff’ with tweaks to the lullaby program.

‘The first version, there was too many sort of sharp bells, and it caused tears and just general chaos,’ she said, noting that the finished version, which included her voice, is ‘a bit sparklier’ and a ‘bit nicer’ than her initial attempts.

‘I was basically personally just referencing ambient music I’ve heard, and then kind of trying to make it cuter.’

Grimes said that she was looking to get away from the standard devices people use to help lull their babies to sleep.

‘When you have a baby, you’re always using white noise machines,’ Grimes said. ‘It’s much easier to get them to sleep if you train them on some kind of audio situation.

‘And so I was just like, could this be more artistic? … I think at some point, we will want to, as a species, have a discussion about how involved A.I. will be in art.’

She continued: ‘In general, stuff for babies is really just creatively bad. I don’t want your first introduction to the world to just be all this aimless crap.’

Grimes said that she wasn’t ‘insulting babies’ or their intelligence, but rather the opposite.

‘I just feel like getting out of the like, “Here’s a zebra and a bear in, like, pastel color tones’ energy,”‘ she said. ‘That’s just one very small sort of creative lens that things can be looked at through.’

Grimes, who began seeing Musk in 2018, noted that babies ‘do have taste,’ and ‘definitely like some things,’ ‘don’t like other things’ and ‘fully have opinions.’
