Thoughts of my favorite childhood book: Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
First Sentence:
"The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another his mother called him "WILD THING!" and Max said "I'LL EAT YOU UP!" so he was sent to bed without eating anything."
EW. Intricate, reminds me of a weaving machine, or a photograph taken from way overhead of an interesting landscape with a dark valley coming up ahead.
Thanks mergrl. I've having a blast creating these things.
Always good to find another Maurice Sendak fan! The colors in this piece immeadiately made me think of his work in Where the Wild Things Are. Funny the associations we make and how such a tiny thing can trigger so many memories from so long ago.
Wow, the colors and patterns are just awesome. I like this one alot. It looks quite deep and intriguing. Very different than any you've done before. And yes, thinking about Where the Wild Things Are brings back a smile.

Trée, appreciate your sharing.
Sunshine, my pleasure. You have some rather thought provoking posts up today. Lots of memories.
ReplyDeleteThis fractal also reminds me of cobwebs.
I can see cobwebs now you mention it. Multifaceted!
ReplyDeleteI think images of Halloween have infected my brain. :-)
ReplyDeleteTrée, I have been wanting to do a long post on childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll start on it this weekend. I've got a ton of them.
Aggie, I would be interested to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteLove all the new artwork, and I still have my original copy of Where the Wild Things Are. I love that book.

Looks like a battle goings on and the dragon is getting his a** kicked.
ReplyDeleteJack, inbetween the sage-like stars and the brownish dark corner, do you see what appears to be mummified faces in the greyish cobwebs?
ReplyDeleteJust noticed them--spooky.
I'm still looking for that dragon--lol. That's the problem with dragons, you never see them until it's too late. ;-)
Ooooh, Halloween, I loooove it!

ReplyDeleteThanks Terry. I quite like this one too. Now go buy that French Press--lol.
ReplyDeleteTree, now that you mention it I can kinda see faces in the cobwebs thingies. Spooky.
ReplyDeleteThe explosion of transcendental genius in the colours of the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteYou are in a class of your own.
Your generation should celebrate your genius.
