BOOKS:
Many of DRAWASSIC's books offer something that no other publisher offers ~ motion! Focusing primarily on subjects that can develop the Mind, Soul or Spirit of our human condition, these often hand-drawn and animated print books contain unique content that is often creatively imaginative and/or inspirational. Not all of our books move in this physical way but they will very much exercise the mind and the creative spirit at the very least.
Here are just some of the offerings we have in our existing online catalogue, or else are still 'work-in-progress''...

'THE SECRET LIFE OF STARS'
We live in an increasing age of individuality and of self-understanding. It is therefore time to re-examine one of the oldest methods of human understanding we have… Astrology. Astrology is not 'prediction' or 'fortune-telling' as the world and the charlatans, would have us believe. Instead it is the most complete and time-proven system of energy based self-knowledge that is available to us. ‘The Secret Life of the Stars’ is a wonderful introduction to what astrology can offer us in this modern age. It still speaks to ourselves and our world and is the means by which we might better understand the ebb and flow of our lives. So put away your prejudices and with your mind firmly open, prove to yourself the immense value and self-understanding this age-old system of thought can still offer us today. Price: $19.95.

'THE HERMIT'
Many decades ago award-winning animator, Tony White, was subject to much disruption in his sleeping patterns. For almost 3 months, his sleep was rudely interrupted by a stream of inspired words he would hear in his head in the very early hours of each morning. Tony learned that the only way to stop the words was to write them down on paper. Once the words had been written down, they would fade in his mind and Tony would be able to sleep again. Not sure what to do with the words when they eventually stopped, Tony filed them away, determined to do something with them one day when the time was right. However, due to a very busy and successful career, the right time never seemed to come. But now in his autumn years and with more time on his hands, Tony has not only decided to publish the words, but also to animate and illustrate them too. This unique motion book will appeal to anyone who finds him or herself on a spiritual journey, seeking signposts along the way. Tony does not claim authorship for the words in this book. He simply hopes that ‘THE HERMIT’ will appreciate the moving drawings he has added to them – and is relieved that the Hermit’s words have finally seen the light of day! Price: $19.95.
