My completed Sendak piece for the illustration stitch along 'free choice' session. With details on the blog here cherryandcinnamon.com/2013/10/02/sendak-mr-rabbit-stitche...
Comme j'ai été triste d'apprendre que Maurice Sendak, auteur de Max et les Maximonstres, était mort hier matin...
Seules les bouilles des Maximonstres ont su venir à bout de mes peurs d'enfants - adulte, ils ont toujours eu une place à part dans mon imaginaire, et c'est encore à eux que je pensais il y a à peine quelques jours en mettant en scène cette photo.
Monsieur Sendak, vous me manquez déjà...

So sad to hear that Maurice Sendak, author of Where The Wild Things Are, has just passed away...
As a child, I used to feel secured simply looking at the Wild Thing's funny faces. I grew up but they never left my imagination - some days ago, they weren't very far as I was taking this picture...
Dear Mister Sendak, I'm gonna miss you much...

Max, the main character of the classic children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" photographed in Lums Pond State Park in Bear, Delaware. The toy was made by Funko POP! Vinyl.
"And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"
I was a little worried that this silhouette wouldn't be recognizable, but as I sat there taking this, every single person walking by cried "Max!" as soon as they spied him. That includes the several small children prodded by their parents ("Go ahead, ask her!") and the two burly construction workers ("Man, I loved that book.")

Freezing rain and fog. Ice on everything. Strange white light after sunset when it's usually amber or blue. We all frolicked for an hour until Mouse went back to her pasture.

The impetus to take this was seeing the creatures from 'Where The Wild Things Are' looking up at the happy balloon (still alive from my birthday on 3/2, see other photo as well). The art is a drawing on a piece of wood I am currently working on (oil pastel and scratching away)
And for the younger audience...those square plastic things in the background are called cassette tapes.

The All New Scavenger Hunt Challenge is four shots inspired by different reading material.
I love, love, love books for kids! I own several hundred. The Brown Bear book was mine as a child. All of the small books at the bottom and the board book, Babies, belonged to my children. Also Alphabears and the Pizza pop-up book. Most of the rest I purchased after my kids were grown. The three that are juvenile fiction; The Golden Compass, The Magician's Elephant and the whole Harry Potter series are proof that some books written for children are just as engrossing as those written for adults.
Max and his crew are pretty well represented on Flickr, but I wanted to take a crack at a few pics myself. Where the Wild Things are is a book many of us grew up with and its one I read to my kid. I consider these some of the coolest figures McFarlane has ever done.
Inside all of us is... hope. Inside all of us is... fear. Inside all of us is... adventure. Inside all of us is a wild thing.

I am going to bring this story alive, with some stop-frame animation films in a 2 day Children's workshop. Boo and I have been playing with plasticine, and doing other preparation for our workshop. Here is Max, a couple of monsters and his boat. If you know the book you might have been taken in too by the little boy, who has a fabulous make believe adventure one night when he is cross with his Mum!
Ps this is why I haven't been visiting your streams much over last few days...I'll be there soon.
Tonight Boo and I have been playing with plasticine, and doing preparation for our stop frame animation workshop over the next two days. Here are two Maxs I made, if you know the book you might be taken in too by the little boy who has a fabulous make believe adventure when he is cross with his Mum one night.
This is a fun project, a holiday workshop, at my school. I will, no doubt be uploading more photos and eventually some finish

Book #19: The Bro Code by Barney Stinson (with Matt Kuhn) - This book was written as a companion to the popular show "How I Met Your Mother". One of the characters in the show, Barney Stinson (played by the awesome Neil Patrick Harris), references this book as a guide to how bros are supposed to act. The book is full of situational examples and charts & graphs. Pretty funny. If you like the show, you should check it out.
Book #20: Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay - This is the first novel of the Dexter series, and season 1 was partially patterned off the novel. I absolutely love the TV series, so I want to check out the novels. Season 1 of Dexter follows the first half of the novel pretty closely. But right after the halfway point in the book, the TV series veers off on it's own. That was actually a pleasant surprise, so I didn't know exactly what was going to happen. One of the main characters is killed off in the book, and in the TV series is still around for season 4 (which is showing right now), so it will be interesting to see how the void is filled in the second Dexter novel.
Book #21: Supernatural: Nevermore by Keith R.A. DeCandido - This book is a companion to the wonderful TV series, Supernatural. This story takes place in between the 2nd season episodes "Crossroad Blues" and "Croatoan". I really enjoy the TV series, so I enjoyed the book. The same sort of humor and action is brought into the book. The brothers are working on two separate cases at the same time in the book: 1) a haunting, and 2) a series of murders patterned off of Edgar Allen Poe stories. The combination of the TV series and one of my favorite authors being highlighted (Poe) really drew me to this book. If you're a Supernatural and Poe fan, you'll probably enjoy this like I did.
Book #22: The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells - Wells is one of those authors that I never got around to reading. So I am rectifying that, and The Invisible Man was my first Wells book to try out. I really liked it. I enjoy his style of writing. The story kept me going. It made me want to read more Wells. I am now on my second Wells book, Island of Dr. Moreau.
Book #23: Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak - I know, this is a short kid's book that probably shouldn't be included on a books read list, but whatever. I never read this book as a child. I don't even think I ever heard of it until I saw the trailer for the movie. I was so intrigued by the movie, that I bought my ticket for it already. And I definitely had to check out the source material beforehand, so I bought the book. The book is extremely short, but I LOVE the pictures. It'll be interesting how they do a complete movie off of such a short book.
