We've lost so many amazing artists this year. There's probably few people here who haven't been touched by Mr Sendak's work - who didn't have mummy or daddy read Where the While Things Are to them before bed? Who here wasn't influenced in some small way by those beautiful illustrations?

Vale, Mr Sendak.

At least he got to see a somewhat version of his book come alive.

Goodbye to a brilliant artist may his next life be happier than this one was.

So sad, what a great guy, and an inspiration to many.

Where the Wild Things Are was mind blowing when I was a little kid. It probably had a big influence on me as well. RIP
