Shaun Tan: The Art of Story

The Art of Story is a chance for you to see Shaun's illustrations for free, and unlike my library dilemmas, you'll be able to see these uninterrupted for 2 weeks.

Overview

I only have a couple of regrets from uni. Not reading Shaun Tan's The Arrival is one of them. It was a set reading for one of my writing subjects and I couldn't get my paws on a copy. But not to worry, I have recently acquainted myself with Shaun's work and have fallen in love with his amazing visual landscapes. Shaun Tan? Who be that, I hear you non-educated (joking) folk say? He is not a recurring character in Nelly/Snoop songs (Sean John), like I heard yelled out in a lecture. No, no, he is an Oscar-winning illustrator and author known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to tell stories with his astonishing drawings.

The Art of Story is a chance for you to see Shaun's illustrations for free, and unlike my library dilemmas, you'll be able to see these uninterrupted for 2 weeks. There'll be limited edition prints from many of his well-known books: The Rabbits, The Red Tree and The Arrival to name a few. Also featured will be The Lost Thing, which put a hot little golden statue in Mr Tan's hands. Power on down to the 'House from June 28 and be truly amazed. You won't regret it!
