Illustration from Some Swell Pup, or Are You Sure You Want a Dog?, which Maurice Sendak wrote with dog trainer Matthew Margolis.
Sendak and his partner Eugene Glynn had several German Shepherd dogs, some of whom were trained at the monastery of New Skete in Cambridge, NY. The monastery named its dog training facility after Sendak in 2016.

Hattusha was the ancient Hittite capital, a well-defended site amid the rocky, windswept upper elevations of central Antatolia. This is a place of worship a couple of km from the city, where they had converted a natural cleft in a large rock outcropping into an open-air sanctuary. This carving reminded me instantly and irresistably of the work of Maurice Sendak.

At Barnes and Noble, they have a movie-to-book adaptation out now with a lot of pictures (which aren't of the best quality, sadly). I was almost horrified by this one where Tzippy/K.W. eats Max. After reading the book, I've gotta say that this movie will probably get really dark towards the end, though not the part where Max gets off the island. That's going to be very touching, so it's not like how I imagined it (since in the book, they all look angry and want to get Max, I was expecting them to go absolutely nuts and try to get him, becoming wild again).
Bernard the Bull, from the classic "Where the Wild Things Are" book. This was always one of my favorite books when I was a kid. I saw this at FAO Schwarz toy store in NYC. Next time I go, I think I will buy him!
Plaster completed on the first horn. Still held and supported by the wire attached to the stool at this point. Optimistically had the second stool ready for attaching the second horn. Didn't get to it that night though.

Another view of the horn with the masking tape stage completed. You can also see the wires from the horn going through the top of the head wire mesh, and going into the styrofoam pieces inside the top of the head (which are duct-taped together).

The costume was all her idea. But to keep her costume from looking like just a sweatsuit, Daddy needed something to wear too. . .
RIP Maurice Sendak. Thank you for inspiring wild imagination, dreams and adventure in this world.
“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”
― Maurice Sendak
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 first being released I was lucky enough to meet The Maurice Sendak at a book release, 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.
KW coming together with the hair hot-glued on to the head, and the face fur also hot-glued into place. Another step was to add two coats of black paint to the head on top of the paper mache, in case there was rain, to give the head a fighting chance against the moisture!

Attached the nose 'plate' to the head by wiring through it in 3 places - you can see the twisted wire at the top which would be plastered over later.

On Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at The Ritz East, the Rosenbach Museum & Library held a benefit and special advance screening of the highly anticipated film, Where the Wild Things Are, the Warner Bros. live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Caldecott-winning picture book of the same name. Where the Wild Things Are is a classic story about childhood and the places we go to figure out the world we live in.
The Philadelphia museum has a close, longstanding relationship with Maurice Sendak and is the sole repository of Sendak’s original artwork. All proceeds from this exclusive fundraising event support programs and exhibitions at the Rosenbach Museum & Library.

Design created by Maurice Sendak for the incomplete comic opera by Wolfgang Mozart, The Goose of Cairo. In the opera, Biondello rescues his imprisoned love, Celidora, by hiding in an enormous goose, just as the Greeks hid in the Trojan horse.
The goose's "Egyptian" appearance was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor's costumes in Cleopatra.
Seen in the exhibit "Wild Things Are Happening: The Art of Maurice Sendak" at the Columbus (Ohio) Museum of Art.
Crude beginnings of the nose - wire nose shape put in place and masking taped to a random page in a paper. Then balls of newspaper and more masking tape to build up the main wide part of the nose.

Ordering pizza after testing out the head-support. Possibly the worst idea I've had in a while (the support method, not the pizza). It's a hard hat, gaffataped and padded into a box, which then later had a circle of styrofoam on top to fit snugly into the top of the head. The head then pretty much just sat on top of this whole thing. After a few hours though, it wasn't doing wonders for my neck!
