    I'll have to tell my grandson that is was his birthday in the morning, he loves Maurice Sendak. Every time I read "Where the Wild Things Are" he pipes up and says "by Maurice Sendak"

    Hey Jack, now if I had teeth like t hat my dentist would get a surprise. A lovely tribute to a master.

    I wonder if Maurice Sendak will return the favour? I hope so, you deserve it!

    Hi Jack - Thank you for stopping by my blog. I am even more impressed with your work after now visiting your blog. You do amazing illustrations. The characters, color and setting bring out the story to the most fullest potential. I love the illustrations you did on: Sh Sh Sh Let the Baby Sleep (with Kathy Stemke), Stella, the Fire Farting Dragon (with J. Aday Kennedy) and Poodle & Doodle (with Donna J. Shepherd). I really just touched on reading your blog and had to stop to send you this message. Amazing work! I would wish you best of luck with all your artistic talents, but I have to admit that with this fine talent, luck has nothing to do with it. You are an inspriation on a high level. - Maeve

    Such a fun take on Maurice's work, Jack! I love the expression on the Wild Thing's face... Congratulations on your new eBook too.

    Thanks for the vote-of-confidence re: going in the Illustration direction!
    Best, Susan
