Tales From Outer Suburbia

These pictures are from a childrens' book 'Tales From Outer Suburbia' by Shaun Tan.  The stories and illustrations have that folk suburb Wyrd-on-Suburb feel: the vibrations of other forces - and the sense that anything is probable - that surround and weave in and out of the outer suburb where it meets the country; always undermining any attempts to keep it at bay, through building, covering over or ignoring it.
