Shaun Tan on Omnivoracious
My feature on Tan’s latest. I love this guy’s work.
The quality and subtlety of both the black-and-white and color art reflects a deep understanding of how to use space. Nothing feels cluttered, everything feels balanced. And, in encountering Tan’s written stories for the first time, I was pleased to find that text doesn’t detract from his work.

I loved this one. My mum was able to bring home a copy from work for me to look through when it first came out over here. The stories are fantastic and the art work is magnificent – really imaginative without having to be bizarre. Best of all the whole book is underpinned, I think, with a wonderful Australian vibe. I’d love to adorn my walls with a couple of his limited edition prints.
