And when he came to the place where the wild things are
they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth
and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws
till Max said "BE STILL!"
and tamed them with the magic trick
of staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once
and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all
and made him king of all wild things
"And now, " cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"
...Maurice Sendak "Where the wild things are"

I love kids' books almost as much -- if not more -- than Miss P does!
Tasskaff, day 18.
Maurice Sendak died today at the age of 83.
I took this photo at the "Where the Wild Things Are-Maurice Sendak in His Own Words and Pictures" multi media exhibit about the life-long art of Maurice Sendak on display at the Lancaster Museum of Art in April of 2008.
Another photo from the amazing Metreon play area for Where the Wild Things Are...that is no more. :(
Sorry for the crap quality...i scanned a print.

The other day, I decided to draw Max, from Where The Wild Things Are, on a small piece of matboard. I was happy with the result so I sketched out a few of the other characters.
Today I decided to paint Max.

The recently concluded Maurice Sendak exhibition at the Toronto Reference Library, Maurice Sendak: 50 Years, 50 Works, 50 Reasons, was a joy to visit for the little things. This Sendak sketch, depicting a Wild Thing and Max from Sendak's famous Where the Wild Things Are, is a good example of the different sketches and paintings on display.

With the news yesterday of Maurice Sendak's death, I spent the day reflecting on his books and their influence on me.
I was a very shy kid, and stuck to my room most of my childhood. I might've gone crazy if it hadn't been for the message of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE-- that my room was a doorway to many worlds limited only by my imagination. I got through childhood basically living out Max's vivid, imaginative life. But it wasn't just the story, it was Sendak's understanding of what childhood means, and how, as adults we mistakenly see it through rose-colored lenses. But I know better, and so did Sendak. He will be missed.
Drawn on the iPad, 2 hours total.

RIP Maurice Sendak
My all time fave animated special from my childhood, I'm so beyond thrilled to get this on DVD words can hardly express how I feel
It's never been released on DVD but I found a site filmclassics.com that transfers VHS to DVD and it is perfect quality
If you've never heard of this, here's everything you could want to know en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Really_Rosie
Most likely you've heard the song from this that was actually a pretty big standard from my childhood, Chicken Soup With Rice
In the week before Christmas, I saw a post on our neighborhood Facebook page asking about where to go see displays of Christmas lights nearby. I knew of most of the places mentioned, but I hadn’t heard about the “Nutcracker House” before. I went to check it out on the 21st, while Ava was doing her afternoon rest time. I invited Evan, but since they declined to join me, I had a nice solo outing and could take as many unhurried pictures as I wanted before the sun set.
Interestingly, the only pictures I could find in a Flickr search were of these nutcracker items in their longtime home at the Seattle Opera House during Nutcracker seasons past. (According to the sign, they used to be displayed in the lobby each year.)

Maurice Sendak designed the sets and costumes for this production. I feel it is the best of the best.
Before it became Where the Wild Things Are, this was the original version. It has the same basic story I guess. A boy goes to a place where wild horses are, and it ends up being too much for him, as the animals take his clothes and chase him off. He ends up sailing away.
Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak in His Own Words and Pictures, a multi media exhibit about the life-long art of Maurice Sendak on display at the Lancaster Museum of Art. It was cool! They had a huge bowl of Chicken Soup with Rice (and giant carrots!) which kids could slide into. You had to be :::this big::: to do it. I was too big
Duane and I experienced the Lancaster Art Walk. We visited many different shops, ate at our favorite Lancaster bar (Lancaster Dispensing Company, we had Pesto and Brie and shared a veggie grinder and booze) and visited a scary artist studio. Good fun! The only thing is...it was like 84 degrees...IN APRIL. That is just wrong.

This is an 8x10 canvasboard painting I did today. I don't ordinarily paint anything in one fell swoop. I think it's okay. It's not perfect but I like it.

Guests at the The Chertoff Mural unveiling were invited to sign a life-size replica of the nearly 4’ x 13’ mural alongside the very signature of the artist himself, Maurice Sendak. The replica will go in the museum’s archives. Douglas A. Lockard created the composite of the mural, with post-production by Stephen Stinehour. Ten lettered copies were printed and signed by Maurice Sendak. The printers’ proof was given to Maurice Sendak. At the unveiling, Nina and Larry Chertoff were presented with replicas of the mural, on behalf of the Rosenbach Museum & Library, for their generous donation to the museum.

Where the Wild Things Are is a classic story about childhood and the places we go to figure out the world we live in.
