Smile on Saturday: Portray a Movie
The classic children's book "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak was made into a movie of the same name in 2009. We loved the music by "Karen O and the Kids" so much that we went out and bought the CD straight away.
This is Max from the book, a toy from my Early Childhood Centre where I teach, and Maxi, a toy "Wild Thing" I bought for my husband many years ago. He kindly lets me take him to work sometimes :)) They're having a "Wild Rumpus" in our garden.
I get plenty of smiles as I walk to wok with Maxi on my arm :))
HSOS :))
CoF**3 Worked Image (a filter to bring the photo closer to the colours of the book and a film frame for the movie :)

ODC-Where The Wild Things Are
This is my favourite children's book of all time. If you haven't seen the movie then you should, it's delightful to say the least!
Maxi, reading the children's book "Oh No, George!" by Chris Haughton.
Smile on Saturday: Crazy Still Life.
Maxi is named after Max from "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak because he resembles the "Wild Things" from the book.
Perhaps "Oh No, George" can help him learn from his mistakes :)
You never know what you're going to run into when walking through the woods. Fortunately this wild beast was only armed with a smile... I must be lucky
Inspired by Maurice Sendak's 'In the Night Kitchen'! Guaranteed to give you a rumbling tum and grim and grisly nightmares! Fun photo-art!
I was in the dining room when I heard Cadence's voice saying, "Oh please don't go! We'll eat you up, we love you so!" I grabbed the camera to capture this photo of her "reading." It's the first book that she's taken to reciting, and now she walks around our home saying in the same cackly voice I use, "...And they GNASHED their terrible teeth, and they GNASHED their terrible eyes, and they GNASHED their terrible claws..." She apparently really likes the word GNASHED.
I did this for Terrible Yellow Eyes. Follow this link:

Its based on a classic Herve Moran chocolate poster:

Was really excited to contribute to the fantastic website Terrible Yellow Eyes.
If you have not seen it go there immediately. It is such a wonderful idea and an amazing cast of artist and artwork all in honor and tribute to the wonderful Maurice Sendak and Where the Wild things Are.

...and I'm Rosie Real / You better believe me / I'm a great big deal!
Out running errands today, I came across a happy picture! I'm getting much more fearless about squatting down in the middle of a parking lot with my camera! This is the first shot of about 10 (I tried different angles and distances), and this is the one I ended up using. I wonder if first instincts are often the best, when it comes to composition...
Another Polaroid from my Toys on Roids show in Minneapolis. Check it out if you live in the area. It runs until December 24th, 2008.
This one is sold but many of the originals are available, signed, matted, framed, and ready to hang.
SCOUT: "Paddy! Paddy!"
PADDY: "What is it, Scout?"
SCOUT: "Paddy I was just thinking that it might be nice for Jago, if we read a Christmas story that comes from the northern hemisphere!"
PADDY: "Oh that's a splendid idea, Scout! Which one shall we read? There are a few. The Nutcracker or Babushka or..."
SCOUT: "The Nutcracker please Paddy"
PADDY: "Oh! Yes, of course Scout. Are you also wanting that one read because there are faerie ballerinas in tutus in it, and you want a tutu from Father Christmas this year?"
SCOUT: "Paddy! I'm shocked! How could you say such a thing?" *Puts paw to mouth and thinks.* "How did you know I asked Father Christmas for a tutu, Paddy?"
PADDY: "You asked me how to spell tutu, Scout."
SCOUT: "Oh!"
JAGO: "Hullo Paddy and Scout. What shall we do that is Christmas themed today?"
PADDY: "Scout thought you might enjoy sitting down with all of us and reading The Nutcracker, Jago."
JAGO: "Oh that's very thoughtful of you, Scout! I should love to do that."
SCOUT: "Paddy is very good at reading stories, Jago. You will enjoy it!" *Excited.* "I'm going to get Dolly. She likes the story too! When I come back, may I sit on your lap, Jago?"
JAGO: "Of course you may, Scout. Bogart can sit on my other knee if he likes."
BOGART: "Oh yes I would Jago!"
PADDY: "Where did you spring from, Bogart?"
BOGART: "I heard the word 'story' and I immediately came to see if you were going to read us a story. Are you Paddy?"
PADDY: "Yes I am, Bogart! I am going to read The Nutcracker. Would you like to join us, Cousin Paddington?"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Oh yes please Paddy."
PADDY: "That's good. You can help turn the pages with me."
PADDY, SCOUT (and DOLLY), COUSIN PADDINGTON, JAGO and BOGART: *Sit down on the settee with The Nutcracker.
SCOUT: *Excited.* "So Jago, this story is about Clara and Uncle Drosselmeyer and Princess Pirlipat and the Mouse Queen Madam Mouserinks..."
PADDY: "Scout! Don't tell it all to Jago, otherwise I will have nothing left to tell." *Winks at Jago.*
SCOUT: "Oh!" *Puts paw to mouth.* "I'm sorry Paddy. I'm just so excited!"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: *Kindly.* "We can tell, little Scout."
PADDY: "Are you all sitting comfortably?"
SCOUT, BOGART and COUSIN PADDINGTON nod.
PADDY: "Good! Then I will begin." *Starts to read.* "On the twenty-fourth of December Dr. Stahlbaum's children were not allowed to set foot in the small faily parlour, much les the adjoining company parlour - not at any time during the day..."
Paddy is reading from my first edition copy of 'The Nutcracker' by E. T. A. Hoffman with paintings by American children's illustrator Maurice Sendak, published by The Bodley Head in London in 1984. It features Maurice Sendak's designs for the Pacific Northwest Ballet's production of the Nutcracker that opened to great success the same year.
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Jago is a recent addition to my ever-growing family. A gift from a dear friend in England, he is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes. He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him. He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
In keeping with the theme of Terrible Yellow eyes and Where the Wild Things are these are some photos I wanted to share. Back in the early 80's when Wild Things was a traveling play Maurice Sendak was in KC promoting said play at a book signing. As you can see I was no more than 5-6 years old and brought my favorite Wild things stuff toy to have Mr. Sendak sign. Each foot of the toy was signed by Sendak. One foot with Sendak's signature and the other made out to me. One of the truly great childhood memories! One of the many reasons I wanted to become an illustrator. So glad my illustrator father took me to this event. I am sure he knew one day I would be thankful for such a meeting.
Vice Magazine asked 24 artists to do up some Wild Things. Check it out. Le, La who gives a shit! This little book is fucking RAD!! WTWTA VICELAND wherethewildthingsare.viceland.com/
update: explored! :) This is M. Another photo from this shoot.
I'm testing myself if I could post pictures everyday for a week. Then maybe I would seriously consider doing a 365. I'm in awe of people who embarked on the journey. They grew so much in a couple of months, some even just weeks.
Anyways, I am abandoning my hermit life today to go off with friends!
The bubbles are real. :)
...was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all

My second entry into the Spike Jonze/Where the Wild Things Are Contest:

This tower was for a little boy who is just crazy about the book. Some themes are more challenging than others and this was certainly one of them. But when one little boy said to me "oh, this is Max from Where the Wild Things Are," I knew it was somewhat right... :)
A while back I came across the site Terrible Yellow Eyes. A fantastic blog with illustrators' homages to Maurice Sendak's classic picture book Where the Wild Things are.
Being a huge fan of Sendak and feeling that I wasn't quite swamped enough with work as it was I emailed the site's administrator: Cory Godbey and asked if I could participate.
This is the piece that I made, and while I'm no Sendak, I rather like it.
Hello Flickr!
News, news, news! I landed an internship with Annie Leibovitz this coming spring, and I have an internship with Rodney Smith starting October 11th! Wish me luck!
This is my final project for my Photographic Illustration course.
We had to use a life changing event or thing in our lives, and somehow portray it in a photo/video/any form of media.
For me (as many of you know) storybooks are part of my biggest inspiration.
They symbolize a time in my life when everything was as it should be, and creativity was purely encouraged.
I'll post the other 2 shots from the series below!
I've had this button on my bulletin board for forever, and it was already more than 10 years old when I acquired it when I worked for the publisher. It's a collectible button, library promotion material for famous author/illustrator Maurice Sendak's children's book Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or There Must Be More To Life," published in 1967. An early chapter book, Higglety Piggley Pop! is the story of Jenny, a Sealyham terrier, who abandons her safe home and seeks Experience, so she can become the star of the World Mother Goose Theatre. It's a dated classic that's now out-of-print, but full of charm and humor.
I was originally going to use it for Macro Monday's challenge "squared circle," but it looks so dirty I rejected it. The camera is merciless in picking up details our eyes tend to gloss over. I did clean it as best as I could, but it is ephemera from 1967. It's not supposed to look new.
HIgglety Pigglety Pop! Or, There Must be More To Life was published by Harper Junior Books in 1967 and won countless "Best" awards for children's chapter books that year.
