Google today! Maurice Sendak classic 'Where The Wild Things Are' as a Google Doodle
Googling today is a lovely surprise and a treat for illustrators. 'Where the Wild Things Are' by Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) has made it as a Google Doodle on the Google Home Page. It celebrates the authors 85th birthday. But do I think of him as an author? Yes very much so, but for me, and I believe for many others, I see him even more as a most inspiring and original illustrator. The way the feel of the particular book 'Where The Wild Things Are' is gelled with the Google Doodle concept - using little bit of interactive animation - honors the spirit of the book, and shows how contemporary these drawings really still are. It is also lovely to be able to get a direct link to all the information about this great illustrator. He might not be known as an editorial illustrator, but sure is the inspiration to many of them.
