Making Mischief - a Maurice Sendak Appreciation
I spied the coolest book in the bookstore the other day... A big book all about Maurice Sendak and his art. It is a beautiful book!
This picture is from probably my own personal favorite Sendak book, In The Night Kitchen. I love the Laurel & Hardy bakers. I always found them so creepy/cool but entrancing! I'm still entranced. This book makes an impact, a lasting one. That is success right there.
Lovely pencil drawings. I'm such a fan of pencil. Sometimes I enjoy it over a final, finished work of art. It just has that immediacy, the gesture. The moment. It's a magical quality.
