een meaning to go through this artbook for awhile and finally did

This is a reflection of what made Tan into an artist, his outlook of his art, and what his muses are.

I don't really have anything too reflective to say about it (I took notes, ofc). I can talk for hours about prose composition but not art comp.
I took one course in art history in college and can proclaim:

You'll find similarities to Monokubo and Tan as they both represent the human in creatures and monsters and questions what it really means to be one and how humans are a little like them than we realize.
Maybe Monokubo was inspired by Tan at one point or vice versa, it's hard to say. Either way, Tan has a way of making you pause and think with his work.

Whether he's the OG inspiration of Monokubo or the new is up to the viewer.
RIP Monokubo
