You Make My Heart Sing

Description

When I was a little kid, my only encounter with Where the Wild Things Are was a poster on my dentist's waiting room wall, the one where Max and the monsters are hanging down from the trees. It scared the hell out of me then.

Fast forward to 2009, where I spot the Where the Wild Things Are movie trailer. I was totally captivated by the art direction, and after re-watching it for what felt like a hundred times, I decided to order the book off Amazon. It's an enchanting little story. In hindsight I don't quite understand why the wild things creeped me out so much as a boy; Maurice Sendak's illustrations make them look like friendly fellows after all. I wish I hadn't discovered the story so late in my life.

This picture is part of Cory Godbey's Where the Wild Things Are tribute collection, Terrible Yellow Eyes. Be sure to visit his site for heaps of wonderful illustrations by all kinds of talented artists!

Ich kann mich grob daran erinnern das diese Buch meinem älteren Bruder gut gegen Alpträume geholfen hat als wir noch jung waren.
Meine wenigkeit ist mit den Kerlen leider ebenfalls erst später warm geworden, aber in deinem Bild wirken sie sogar noch einen Zacken freudlicher als im original.
