I first saw some of Shaun Tan's work in a Children's Texts class I did at uni several years ago. His wonderfully illustrated book The Arrival tells the story of a migrant's arrival in a new country and all the bewilderment that entails. Check it out here.
I have quit Facebook but joined Twitter (and I'll be deleting that bastard too if it takes up too much brainspace - that stuff's precious). I noticed on Twitter a link to this lovely interview with Mr Tan. The interviewer speaks in words; Mr Tan gets to speak in illustrations (a far better type of word, sometimes. Far more limitless :)
See it here.
Oh, and Happy Solstice.

Ok... now that is unspeakably delightful, Sue. The whole gamut of experience without a word. Thanks:)
ReplyDeletethat's one creative interview process
ReplyDeletetwitter hey?
perhaps a post on why, how, what benefits does it have, etc etc, for those of us who still think tweeting is something birds should do
very interesting...thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteHarry - I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
ReplyDeleteKel - Hmm, I might wait for a while before I write that post. I might not end up being on it long enough to warrant the post, and I don't know what I'm doing quite yet :)
Laura - no worries :)
