Terrible Yellow Eyes

Terrible Yellow Eyes is a collection of artist’s work inspired by Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book, Where The Wild Things Are. The website is full of imaginative interpretations of the book’s characters, settings and story. Clearly the original book has provided countless artists and illustrators with the motivation to create images of their own, I know that personally a grade 11 art class assignment to create an illustration for the book really sparked my interest in illustration as a profession.

All natural pen & ink

Check out the work by Arizona based illustrator Ken Jacobsen. Unfortunately it’s not easy to find working illustrators that can produce this type of classic work. The alphabetical image archive is fun to look through and is a testament to the volume of work that Jacobsen has produced.

My USB hub is ugly.

I wish I had this USB hub. Mine is a nasty un-designed PC looking monstrosity. It’s ruining the look of my desk.
