ThingsAmongMany

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Spike Jonze’s highly anticipated rendition of the ever-popular children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are is set to release in October (see the trailer here). And, as with any movie release based on something that’s already wildly popular, it has spurred a ton of discussion as well as a few other inspired and artistic moments. One such inspired moment takes shape at TerribleYellowEyes.com, a collection of original artworks by a variety of artists created by illustrator Corey Godbey.

In his own words, Terrible Yellow Eyes is:

a collection of works inspired by the beloved classic, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Over the coming weeks and months I’ll display a growing collection of works created by invited contributing artists and myself. We share a love and admiration for Sendak’s work and the pieces we present here are done as a tribute to his life and legacy.

The site already features work from over 90 different artists, and with the upcoming movie release, it’s sure to grow heading into October. Where the Wild Things Are is a book that holds a place in the hearts of many children, and the sentiment will only strengthen interest in both the site and the movie release.

Thanks to @JeffSoo for the heads-up on this one!
