Creature: Paintings, Drawings and Reflections
Shaun Tan

A collection of Shaun Tan’s artwork from the past 25 years.

The drawings and paintings in the book come from his work in picture books and other works including films and graphic novels. Others were created for no specific purpose beyond the desire to see what something looks like, or just to follow a sketched line to see where it goes. Many works are previously unpublished. As the title suggests the collection and accompanying essays by Shaun explore his use of non-human creatures as a motif throughout his artwork.

About the author:
Shaun Tan grew up in Perth and works as an artist, writer and filmmaker in Melbourne. He is best known for illustrated books that deal with social and historical subjects through dream-like imagery, widely translated throughout the world and enjoyed by readers of all ages. Shaun is the recipient of an Academy Award for the short animated film "The Lost Thing", the prestigious Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in Sweden and the Kate Greenaway Medal in the UK.
