After graduating from the University of Western Australia in 1995 with a joint degree in Fine Arts and English Literature, he began his career as a freelance artist and author. As a teenage artist with an interest in science fiction, the precocious Tan published his first illustration in 1990, a strikingly coloured image of a kangaroo staring at an enormous Moon, for the cover of the second issue of the Australian magazine Aurealis he also entered the Illustrators of the Future contest (see Writers of the Future Contest) in 1992, finishing as a finalist, and began doing occasional book covers. ![]()
