It is today, 22 years ago, that the world lost a little of it’s magic. Jim Henson passed away leaving us with long lasting friends and the notion that if you believe in it strong and long enough that people will believe in too. Miss you Jim.
Many are waking up this morning to hear that a fellow WILD THING Maurice Sendak has passed away. He taught us that it was okay to be WILD, that your imagination has no boundaries and the importance of children. His work was bold and daring. Sendak took real risks as readers went into worlds that were magical, dark, and sometimes scary in a genre that is sometimes known to be rather fluffy. So we must celebrate this man’s great work as he flies past the Night Kitchen and sails to the Wild Rumpus in the sky. You will be missed Maurice!

This piece was a painting I did for the newly married Shayne Adler and Michael Adler. May they both have a monstrously wonderful marriage and a terribly fantastic life together! :) Check out the Adler’s fantastic wedding announcement in the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/fashion/weddings/shayne-adler-michael-sirlag-weddings.html
A little more than week away is Christmas, but do get yourself a box or two of terrifyingly and monstrously good cheer and merriment with some Bats Langley holiday cards!
