By the way…..
Have you been to the Wild Things Are Happening: The Art of Maurice Sendak exhibit yet? It was incredible. It is the first major retrospective of Sendak since his death in 2012 and the largest and most complete exhibition of one of our time’s most celebrated and original artists. The collection comprises more than 150 sketches, storyboards, and paintings by Sendak. It was fascinating to watch his stories come to life through his storyboards and get a glimpse into his creative thought process. If you can’t attend this event, I suggest visiting the museum. It is on display through March 5, 2023. Remember, admission is FREE on Sundays.
