Dive Down: Drawings from the Deep

Dive Down: Drawings from the Deep A story about discovering beauty A few years ago, I turned my world upside down. I left my job, my relationship, my home and packed my dog in my little blue car. It was the bravest and scariest time of my life. I felt like the depression that I had been running from my whole life finally caught up with me. I took a month to do some journalling, meditating, and reading. As I worked through all of my feelings, I drew. And it became a little book. My friend Sam Attenborough added the words for me after the illustrations formed a story. This self-help fairy tale features drawings of me and three Selkies - magical seal people - who lead me on a beautiful journey, through fear and out the other side... This is a printed version of this illustrated book. R E V I E W "This book is a magical dance of words and pictures, of beauty and wisdom. The work of a thousand self-help books has been distilled into a poetic spirit that demands you take risks and love life. The flowing figures simply weave a tale of self-discovery and bring the reader back from the edge and on to solid, vital ground." - Hugh Warwick
