As a dreamer with a wild imagination, I have always enjoyed the timeless tale Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. The imagery is also lovely which is why I am totally in love with the site Terrible Yellow Eyes, a collection of works by varying artists inspired by and as a tribute to the classic story and it’s creator. The artist and creator of the TYE, Cory Godbey, describes it as a “visual love letter.” Below is but a small handful of the amazing images on the site.
