pickIt‘s always such a treat to take a peek at a successful illustrator‘s sketchbooks and learn from his process. Especially if the artist is Shaun Tan. Absolutely loved it. It reminded me how grounding sketchbooks are and how ideas are not coming from the void, but through consistent practice.
pick#SpringIntoReading Day 8: #Birds reminded me of The Bird King, himself, the unparalleled Shaun Tan. It was a privilege to be allowed access to the subterranean depths of his mind in this book. The way in which he captured the very pulse of what it means to live and breathe the act of putting pen on paper, whether to sketch or shape into words that which is in his mind, seems like a gift to me.
