Islands is about being an individual, about being yourself. When you are yourself, you are unique and apart from all other humans, like an island in the sea is unique and apart from all other islands. In these hand-drawn abstract drawings, each shape is individual, unique and apart from all the other shapes. The shapes float on the page, like islands floating in the sea.
There is a great variety of small, medium and large shapes to color all throughout these books.
Each abstract drawing has a poem that goes with the drawing. There are a myriad of many different themes in the Islands books in the hope they will connect with all people. Some themes are: butterflies, water, moons, connection, fruit, egos, saving money, feelings, jellyfish, golf, cloudy days, Mozart, blizzards, the importance of thinking, seahorses, brick walls, artists, Vivaldi, squares, love, violence, trees.
