Try Outs


I'm trying out for job that would be huge for me and i'm trying to keep my cool. If it doesn't work out than it's not a big deal. If it does work out on the other hand it would be pretty huge. The question is: am i able to match the whimsical and nonsensical writing or am i too stuck in my style and ideals when it comes to children's illustration.
i always think of what Maurice Sendak said:

"the qualities that make for excellence in Children's literature can be sweepingly summed up in a single word:
imagination.
Contrary to most of the propaganda in books for the young, childhood is only partly a time of innocence. It is, in my opinion, a time of seriousness, bewilderment, and a good deal of suffering...It is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis."

yup. what he said.
