The recent exhibition held at Grace Cossington Smith Gallery (based at Abbotsleigh School) provided a fascinating insight into Shaun Tan's amazing artistry. Seeing Shaun's original sketches, roughs and storyboards along with finished art for his book The Lost Thing and film, was incredible and inspiring. The level of detail in Shaun's work, especially in his directions to the animator for his film, was an eye-opener and it was great to learn more about his creative thinking and development of his ideas.
I'm so looking forward to the upcoming ASA Webinar Creators on Craft with Shaun, which I'll be attending in September!
