| | Synopsis
|
"Shaun Tan is one of the world's most highly acclaimed narrative
artists -his stories and images are loved by countless young and
not-so-young readers around the world. Drawing upon 25 years as a
picture book and comics creator, painter, and filmmaker, Creature
explores the central obsession of this visionary artist, from casual
doodles to studied oil-paintings. Beyond sketches for acclaimed works
such as The arrival, The lost thing, and Tales from outer suburbia,
this volume collects together for the first time unseen and
stand-alone illustrations, each resonant with unwritten tales of
their own. Detailed commentary by the artist offers an entertaining
insight into the endless allure of imaginary, non-human beings and
what they might tell us about our so-called "normal" human selves.
Artists, writers, students, dreamers, and anyone interested in the
deeper undercurrents of creativity, myth, and visual metaphor will
find inspiration in these pages"-Provided by publisher.
