You Make My Heart Singby =nikogeyer

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Books & Novels

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!

This is such a great piece! Good work!

I'm ashamed to say that I've never read the book nor seen the movie, though I heard they were great...this makes me want to get the book and read it!

Fantastic illustration! I grew up with this book, the same as my brother (now 40) and my children (6 and 3). My son just saw this one and loved it too ^^ Thanks for sharing!
