Los Angeles-based illustrator/art director Geoff McFetridge has created a lovely collection of work for Spike Jonze’s movie adaptation of the beloved children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are. A sampling of his WTWTA work has been offset printed and bound and is now available for purchase.
I was given the opportunity to interpret not only Spike Jonze’s interpretation of Where the Wild Things Are, but also Maurice Sendak’s original book. Like any kid growing up in the 70’s I was greatly influenced by Mr. Sendak’s books. His books are not just on my bookshelf they are in my blood.
