Shaun Tan - "The Bird King (Egg)" (2009) - pencil on paper

The Bird King (Egg) (2009)

Pencil on paper by Shaun Tan.

Drawing size: 21 x 29.7 cm (8.2" x 11.6")

This drawing is framed.

"This drawing was originally published as the title page for The Bird King (2010). The character of the bird king is one that reappears in a number of my sketchbooks, but its meaning remains elusive to me, making it all the more attractive as the subject of many unwritten narratives".
