Shaun Tan is the Australian author and illustrator behind The Arrival, The Lost Thing, and Tales from Outer Suburbia, and the Academy Award-winning director of the short film adaptation of The Lost Thing. For over two decades, he's built entire wordless worlds out of a single doodle, using metaphor rather than direct depiction to explore migration, identity, and belonging. In this conversation, we talk about: - The difference between a drawing that's merely meaningful and one that's genuinely alive - Why creativity is something you do, not something you think your way into - How dreams — and a deeply personal sense of displacement shaped his visual language - His discomfort with genre labels and the "cult of personality" around artists - What it was like watching The Lost Thing unexpectedly climb the Oscar nominations - His forthcoming graphic novel Hometown (out September 2026), and what it means to invert the very premise that made The Arrival a modern classic This is my conversation with Shaun Tan. 🔔 Subscribe to Bonfire Conversations for more in-depth conversations with Oscar winners, nominees, and leading creative voices from film, games, and illustration.
