horror stories in small-press magazines as a teenager,
and has since become best known for illustrated books
that deal with social, political and historical subjects
through surreal, dream-like imagery. His books include
the acclaimed Arrival, and have been translated
into many languages. Shaun Tan has also worked as
a theatre designer and as a concept artist for the films
Horton Hears a Who and Pixar’s Wall-E and directed
