The best part of a childhood rainy day was, without a doubt, the fort-making part. The second best part (maybe the third, after hot chocolate WITH MARSHMALLOWS) was the crafts.

Rosy Nicholas is a British graphic designer and illustrator whose work makes me smile. Things that seem to fuel her aesthetic: bent limbs, big noses, sketchy butts and bright colors battling against blotchy ink. There’s a wonderful handmade quality to everything Nicholas does, from sequined patchwork costume design to linocut illustrations adorned with googly eyes and pipe cleaners.
Spike Jonze’s feature film rendition of Maurice Sendaks classic story Where The Wild Things Are has hit movie theaters worldwide.
The film represents years of work from hundreds of different artists, writers, photographers, musicians, actors, and creators of all degrees.
This place has been established to help shed some light on many of the small influences that converged to make this massive project a reality.
