A REAL honor! Thank you, Cory Godbey and his Terrible Yellow Eyes Tribute


I am so excited to tell you of the amazing thing that happened at the start of the New Year. I wanted to express my gratitude to Mr. Godbey about his tribute to Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are book, and sent him my three illustrations that I decided to create back in early November. Well, to my utter surprise, he sent me a very kind email stating that he would like to include it in the last post, which was on January 1st. It is such a wonderful tribute to the work of Maurice Sendak, who has touched so many people with his work. I hope you all get a chance to visit the TYE sight to see all of the artists' contributions. I thank Cory for the idea, the inclusion, and wish him the best in his future endeavors..you should see what he is up to..amazing, amazing work.
