Drawing upon 25 years as a picture book and comics creator, painter, and filmmaker, CREATURE explores the central obsession of this visionary artist, from casual doodles to studied oil-paintings. Beyond sketches for acclaimed works such as THE ARRIVAL, THE LOST THING, and TALES FROM OUTER SUBURBIA, this volume collects together for the first time unseen and stand-alone illustrations, each resonant with unwritten tales of their own. Detailed commentary by the artist offers an entertaining insight into the endless allure of imaginary, non-human beings and what they might tell us about our so-called normal human selves. Artists, writers, students, dreamers, and anyone interested in the deeper undercurrents of creativity, myth, and visual metaphor will find inspiration in these pages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Levine Querido\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646142002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Shaun Tan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42325275672757,"sku":"9781646142002","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_48d543d2-3dc5-4325-8c58-36c8bc30011a.jpg?v=1660018658","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/creature-paintings-drawings-and-reflections-9781646142002","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
