RIP MAURICE SENDAK...

Two days, two legends (certainly to me) have gone, and there are two big holes in my creative universe.


I was stunned for a second time in the space of a week to hear that my favourite children's author/illustrator, Maurice Sendak had died.  I think most people in the western world have seen or heard of his work, especially 'Where The Wild Things Are'.  Sendak was, and still is, a huge influence on me and my work, and he will be seriously missed.  


James Howard ( https://twitter.com/#!/themooks ) has got another wonderful #draw project up and running... you can see it here: http://mookiest.tumblr.com/post/22662311401/rip-maurice-sendak-drawsendak


Here's mine... RIP Maurice.

RIP MCA...

I (amongst MANY others) was stunned by the death of Adam Yauch, aka MCA of THE BEASTIE BOYS last week.  Their music played a big part in my growing up, and expanding the sounds I listened too, books i read, and art I created.

James Howard, aka, THE MOOKS got a special #Draw going through Twitter, allowing us to pay our respects with our art.  You can see them all as they come in here. Here's mine...
