The Frames

A high quality Malaysian produced renewable plantation timber is used and is available in pewter, white or satin black with a smooth composite finish and brown or blond grain.

The frames are 2.8cm and can be seen in images on the left. The mattes are a standard 5cm. There is paper space between the matte and where the image starts which varies, although it’s generally between 3 – 5cm.

A high end  premium grade Perspex imported from Japan called Shinkolite is used which is produced by Mitsubishi. It is 98%+ scratch resistant and is 3mm thick. Shinkolite acrylic is a continuous cast acrylic and has many of the properties of cell cast acrylic. It has 10x the strength of glass with crystal clear transparency.

The Paper  

A museum quality Smooth Cotton High White is used. It’s 315 gsm with 100% cotton linters and a silky smooth matte surface.

It is acid & lignin free with an excellent colour gamut.

The surface has a special matte coating, designed for high quality fine art and photographic reproduction

The term “Giclée Print” (pronounced zhee-clay) refers to an elevation in printmaking technology.

Images are printed with archival quality Ultrachrome pigment based K3 inks onto fine art paper. 

The high quality of the paper should ensure a life of more than 100 years if cared for properly.

Shaun Tan grew up in Perth and graduated from the University of Western Australia with joint honours in Fine Arts and English Literature. He began drawing and painting images for science fiction and horror stories in small-press magazines as a teenager, and has since become best known for illustrated books that deal with social, political and historical subjects through surreal, dream-like imagery. His works include The Red Tree, The Lost Thing, Rules of Summer and the acclaimed wordless novel The Arrival. All have been widely translated throughout Europe, Asia and South America, and are enjoyed by readers of all ages.

Shaun has also worked as a theatre designer and a concept artist for the films Horton Hears a Who and Pixar's WALL-E and in 2011, he shared an Academy Award for his work on the animated short film based on his book, The Lost Thing. In that same year, he won the Dromkeen Medal for services to children's literature and the Astrid Lindgren prize, the world's richest children's literature award.
