"One of the first sketches for The Red Tree, and a key image around which the rest of the
book was structured. Picture books for me particularly begin with certain ‘seed’ images, the meaning of which are uncertain. I don’t think this is a very good drawing in any technical sense, but still full of some feeling that wants to be resolved, which is more important." - Shaun Tan
