Shaun Tan explains his drawing process -- The 'Extras' for Rules of Summer

An artist draws two boys, one leading friends, the other building a robot. They're divided by a wall and have different skills. The drawing explores themes of companionship and separation. The boys are the only humans, creating their unique world. The younger boy wants to join older brother, inspired by the artist's own sibling experience. The art expresses feelings without a clear story. A person talks about a book with younger and older characters. They connect with the younger boy, believing it's told from his viewpoint, as they're also a younger sibling. Though not autobiographical, the images draw on real experiences. The speaker's interest in the book grew to studying complex sibling relationships
