Book Reviews of Character Sketches
Book Review: Loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
So I bought this book because of Shaun Tan, and I loved his story in this. It was short but quintessential Shaun Tan. And the other artists and writers in the book were not to be sneezed at either. This is the first time I've come across Justin Randall (wishlisting his other work now), and Anton McKay's style had me nostalgically reaching for my old Tintin books. Hope to see more from both these artists soon!
Summary of Character Sketches
Character Sketches contains the best emerging comic and illustration talent from Australia, including Shaun Tan ('The Arrival', 'The Red Tree'), Justin Randall ('30 Days of Night'), Chris Burns ('Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday' ), Christian Read ('Eldritch Kid') and more! Fractured moments, lives as train wrecks, curiosities of the everyday, simple pleasures, reminders of death; vignettes of people captured in response to their own perceptions and experiences of trauma and joy.
