Monday Inspiration: Maurice Sendak on Illustration

I love this video. Maurice Sendak is so honest about the nature of being an illustrator. How does it all work? He doesn't know...

Basically, as an illustrator, you just want to tell a good story with your drawings. Yep, that's about it. He makes it seem so simple...It suppose he has the experience, he has been illustrating for over 60 years...amazing!




Here's a few of Sendak's wonderful illustrations...
An illustration from "In Grandpa's House" (1985) via The New York Times
  An Ilustration from, "Where The Wild Things Are" (1963) via DailyArtFixx.com
An Illustration from, "In The Night Kitchen" (1970) via loveardently.com
Yay for Maurice and all his curmudgeonly ways...
