Together | Luke Adam Hawker
6 posts | 4 read | 8 to read
A gentle and philosophical look at what we can learn from difficult times, paired with beautiful illustrations Used to drawing out on location, the lockdown of 2020 suddenly limited artist Luke Hawker's day to day work. Like many of us he spent months at home, and, unable to go out and about found himself inspired to depict the day to day effects of the extraordinary challenges unfolding across the world. Together takes a gentle and philosophical look at the events of 2020. Using the metaphor of a monumental storm, we follow a man and his dog through the uncertainty and change that it brings to their lives. Through their eyes we see the difficulties of being apart, the rollercoaster of emotions that we have all shared, and the realisation that by pulling together we can move forward with new perspective, hope, and an appreciation of what matters most in life. Drawing on themes of empathy, kindness, and appreciating nature and the people around us, Together is a beautiful book that we can all relate to.

Beautifully delicate pencil drawings, and so few, but such lovely words. It tells a simple, human story of the turmoil we collectively faced in 2020 and beyond, that initially separated us, then connected us. Told through the eyes of an elderly man and his dog, it‘s a hopeful and moving little book. Loved it….

Not deep or life changing, but it was…soothing. Felt calm and relaxed when done. Maybe it‘s a reading meditation book. Enjoyed the illustrations and it was a quick read. Overall, it was a comfort read.

Honestly underwhelmed by this book. It appears to have such promise, but didn‘t feel like it had enough to it. This oncoming storm the old man and his dog weather seem to symbolize COVID coming to (mainly) New York City. This page made me think of Italy. It just felt like it was lacking it what it seems to build itself up as. The art is still beautiful and and short phases are pretty calming, but nothing too deep.
