Samenvatting

BEST OF THE YEAR
The Guardian · SLJ Teen Librarian Toolbox

From the creator of The Arrival, a collection of essays illuminating his thoughts and advice for writers and artists, young and old.

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 film-maker, 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.

P R A I S E

"Weird and wonderful. Tan often explores the junction between adult experience and childhood memory."
—The Sydney Morning Herald

"A strange beast: dark, whimsical and deeply moving."
—The Guardian

"Like Miyazaki, Tan engages audiences across a wide range of age and sophistication."
—The New York Times

? “Tan acts as artist, curator, interpretive essayist, and catalog editor for a gallery of over two hundred pieces of his own works that highlight a dominant theme of animate beings—some real, most invented, but all fellow travelers through our world and through our psyches.”
—BCCB (starred)

? “This gorgeously designed coffee-table survey of his picture book, comics, exhibition and sketchbook work exposes readers to a 26-year panoply of off-kilter conceptions, in all their disquieting delight. Wondrous.”
—Booklist (starred)
