Hello Mr. Tan,
ReplyDeleteI'm Raechel. I'm studying art and design in Australia and for an assignment, we have been instructed to contact people in the industry who inspire us and find out more about them. Your books have been a huge inspiration to me. My favourite definitley has to be The Arrival. It just amazes me how someone could have made such a beautiful story with just pictures.
If you are willing, would you please answer a few questions for me? I am aware that some of this information may already be on your website, but I am required to hear it directly from you.
1. What skills or attributes did you need to become an illustrator?
2. What do you do in a typical week?
3. What led you to choose illustration as your career?
If you prefer, you can send me a reply via my email: raechel.hudson@my.jcu.edu.au
Thanks so much for your time.
Raechel Hudson.
Oh, curses! I only just discovered today that you were in London, and missed ALL your events... just my luck. I've been a fan for years.
ReplyDeleteAny further events planned in the London area in the next few days?
