When I Talk to You
With its inspirational and insightful prayers and illustrations, When I Talk to You helps readers deepen their awareness of their soul, their inner voice, and God. While the demand for inspirational books is ever expanding, this book takes a refreshing and creative approach that's unlike any other. More about When I Talk to You When asked to pen a weekly cartoon for Melbourne's Sunday Age newspaper more than 15 years ago, Michael Leunig struggled with the idea of creating just another humor strip. He recognized the need to offset the anxiety and distress found in the news but was determined to take a decidedly different approach from his cartooning peers. The result was a cartoon that delive...
The Lot
Musings from a truly original thinker on eveything under the sun and many things over the moon. There are few aspects of existence to which Michael Leunig has not turned his renaissance mind, as a bemused and committed member of the human plight. From his cartoonist's sensibilities comes a peculiar journalism made of parable, memoir and soliloquy, on subjects ranging from the sublime to the subhuman. From the fragile ecosystem of the spirit to the brutalisation of the modern world. From the joy of primal epiphanies to the wretchedness of the violence we unwittingly commit against each other and our deeper selves each day. To hypocrisy and dispair in the political order. Military madness and ...

The Essential Leunig
A special edition of a book that is destined to become a classic. Inside a beautiful linen-covered box with magnetic closure is a copy of the book The Essential Leunig, which comprises 400 definitive works spanning five decades. Also linen-bound, and with a cover unique to this special edition, each copy - one of a print run of 250 - is individually numbered and signed by the artist. The boxed set also includes a wood engraving printed on 250gsm art stock measuring 23cm x 23cm, with the actual image measuring 11cm x 8.5cm. The print has been created specially for this edition and is limited to 250 units numbered and signed by the artist. Neither the print nor the book in this edition will be reprinted, so these are truly collectors' items.
Introspective
Collection of images selected for an exhibition of Leunig's paintings and satirical cartoons at the National Gallery of Victoria. With a foreword by Helen Garner and comments by the artist, the selection contains Tthe signs of struggle, normally etched out in the printing process'.
Holy Fool
At the heart of Michael Leunig's work lies the idea of the holy fool - a character who does not conform to social norms of behaviour because of a peculiar mental disposition or as a deliberate choice, but is regarded as having a compensating divine blessing or inspiration. It could be said that the holy fool is the protagonist in most of Michael's paintings and cartoons. As wonderful as his cartoons are, in Holy Fool we see so much more of the artistic expression of Michael Leunig - from drawings and paintings to prints and sculpture, collected together for the first time. Holy Fool is a must-have volume for curious art lovers and for the legion of Leunig fans.
A Common Prayer
This is an illustrated collection of prayers. It contains 28 meditations/prayers, plus an introduction on prayer. The prayers have an element of social comment for a secular audience.
The Essential Leunig
From the vast repertoire created by Michael Leunig since 1965 comes this inspired selection of his most universal and timeless pieces. Such is his prophetic insight that many of them are more relevant today - and funnier and more ironic - than when they were first published. This beautiful, color-filled hardback includes some works not previously collected, along with an introduction by Leunig on how he creates: the process of discovering 'poetry and spirit in the playful winding path that the semiconscious pen makes on a piece of paper'. The Essential Leunig is a testament to the enduring appeal of a unique Australian artist.
