Review: A Sneak Peak at the Secret World of Shaun Tan - It's great to be able to catch a glimpse of an artist's creative process and this collection of ditties from Mr Tan's own sketch books and musings offers such an opportunity. Physically it is a lovely and compact book chock full of full bleed color illustrations that should help inspire your own creative endeavors. Buy it if your an artist who journals or simply someone who appreciates an inside look into an artist's mind. If you're already a fan of Mr. Tan's work then you will particularly love this piece. This would make a great gift to a budding creative as well. Finally, if you like Danny Gregory's inspirational sketch journals you'll love this offering too. I should know, I'm an artist who does her own sketch a day! I'm a regular creative journaler myself (look up "400 Mornings" to see a book of 400+ of my own musings). I LOVE this kind of thing!
Review: An Incredible Book of Drawings & Sketches - I love Shaun Tan's work. I'm an adult and now own 4 of his books: The Arrival, Lost & Found, tales from outer suburbia and The Bird King. Shaun Tan's artwork is so dreamy and creative. His books are printed on high quality paper, which I appreciate. When I begin to look at one of his books, I know I will be taken on a wonderful journey and he never disappoints. I see in some of the reviews, there are those who purchase the books for children. Some of them are too complex for a small child, so I'm thinking perhaps he's not necessarily drawing for only children? I can't say enough about The Bird King - it's a book with only drawings and sketches and they are incredible.

*by K***I on June 21, 2014*

This is a book full of concepts, rough-drafts and interesting ideas. There are "sneak-peeks" that can be recognized in Shaun Tan's other published works and definitely in his most recent publication. :) This item is a must have for all fans and especially aspiring artists interested in the work-in-progresses of this amazing artist.
