The Watcher (1998) 

Scratchboard by Shaun Tan.

Drawing size: 12 x 16 cm (4.7" x 6.2")

This drawing is framed.

"This illustration is from The Playground, the first published book I both wrote and illustrated in 1998, a horror story about undead children who play in a suburban park after the living have gone home. It was based on my own childhood fears of a particular playground at the end of my street which was always brightly illuminated in the dead of night. I always wondered, for whom? I used a lot of scratchboard in my early career, where reproduction was predominantly black and white".
