“Drawn Across Borders-True stories of migration” by George Butler is an extraordinary and vital book for our times. George Butler’s art and narrative voice bring vividly to life twelve tales of migration, making the people and their experiences real. Nine years of work has gone into its creation and it is published by Walker Books and available as of yesterday.
"No one has captured in art the destruction and suffering of modern warfare as powerfully as George Butler." Michael Morpurgo
"I was asked to go to Belarus by Amnesty International to do a project about the death penalty, and I’ve worked for Save the Children in refugee camps in Greece, and for Oxfam in Palestine. For those stories that are not shocking enough to make our front pages visually, art is a brilliant way to re-engage people." George Butler
