Through Off to Sea and The World of Richard Stine, we take a joyous journey into the mind of this witty, irreverent and inspirational artist and best-selling author. The World of Richard Stine is an illustrated anthology celebrating twenty-five years of Stine's work. The book explores a wide range of subjects -- love, desire, freedom, relationships, choices, creativity -- and takes us on a uniquely personal journey of the spirit. "Why crawl when you can walk?" asks Stine. "Why walk when you can run? Why run when you can fly?" With a glorious sense of humor and a profound sensibility, Richard Stine questions life's meaning, and, in the process, reveals a voice and vision for our time. In Off to Sea, Richard Stine has written and illustrated an enchanting tale of a man and a woman "drawn together in a sea of mysterious attractions". They grow apart. "Each went off to sea". What happens during their separation and how they manage to reconnect, to "unite in their essence", is the foundation of this charming and often profound love story. With sales of over 100,000 copies, Off to Sea has a proven track record in the book and gift market.
