One of my greatest treasures...a postcard from Maurice Sendak. I wrote him an ardent fan letter, and he was kind enough to reply. An artist and a mensch.
How wonderful to have such a treasure. He was an artist "before his time" but I am so glad that the world realized it before his passing so he got a chance to see that he was loved & admired.
Such wonderful work. I'm so surprised it took so long for me to find your work with my crazy fascination with mice little spaces and things. I'm so glad I accidentally stumbled across your work.
What a lovely treasure. He was a gifted man. Your little scene is a poignant tribute.
