Sixty years ago, in November 1963, #MauriceSendak published his now famous #ChildrensBook, Where the Wild Things Are.

Did you know that the casual letterforms on the first edition #BookCover aren’t custom drawn, but type? They stem from an obscure #font named Safari which came with numerous alternate glyphs. Patrick Concannon put together a post about the #design, and @jaykay109 tracked down the origin of the #typeface.

Got this book out from the library and read it with my girls tonight. It's a great book and they loved it! I had never heard of Beatrice shilling before so it was interesting for me also. I love that there are so many of these kinds of books out now especially since my eldest lives history and seeks them out. I love that she reads about all these pioneering women who are finally getting some recognition.

I began #childrensbook #illustration illustrating #folktales, especially #Japanese, #Persian, bc of my attention to detail & authenticity with the clothing. Here is some of my published work, & the one with the girl going into the painting is one of my #awardwinning pieces. A #commission & part of the permanent collection in the #Shanghai Baoshan Folk Arts #Museum Inspired by my Papa introducing me to #art & #Chagall 2/?

Colorful illustration of a group of large Sumo wrestlers mocking a skinny one. It is an outdoor ring & Sumo banners are around.

Picture from a Persian folktale of a Persian man in a souk who hears a strange melody that calls to him.

Picture from same Persian folktale of this same Persian man, imprisoned and weaving a rug.

Picture of a young redheaded girl holding the hand of her grandfather in an art gallery, everything is in Black & White like a memory, but she is flying and floating into a painting (inspired by but not a copy of Marc Chagall) of a blessed marriage. Only that painting and where she merges with it, is in bright color.
