freely adapted from an earlier post first seen here.

Shaun Tan's website is also excellent. I am especially interested in his thoughts on visual literacy and on the intended readership for his books:

We have several of his books here at the library; I'm a big fan.

To the best of my knowledge, only two of his books are available in the States.

There are many lovely authors emerging from the Antipodes. Have you read Elizabeth Knox's Dreamhunter/Dreamquake duo. It continues to haunt me. I would describe it as kabbalistic antipodean fantasy:

Also, I am eagerly awaiting the third (and final) book in D.M. Cornish's series Monster Blood Tattoo:
