I met Shaun Tan five years ago in NYC at a dinner with Roxana, Donato, Irene Gallo, and John Jude Palencar. Shaun's picture book 'The Arrival" had recently been published and was winning awards. Who would have guessed that five years later he would receive an Academy Award based on another picture book he published that year called "The Lost Thing"! Congratulations Shaun!

Another fine example of creating a product that is uniquely your own and translating it into another format with stellar results! Good stories fused with an artful imagination are timeless. Keep making art!
To your creative empowerment!
