Terrible Yellow Eyes Show at Gallery Nucleus

I just got back from Los Angeles, where Gallery Nucleus is exhibiting a selection of original pieces from Terrible Yellow Eyes. It was a great venue, and a very impressive turn out. I heard several people who have attended many shows at Nucleus say it was one of the best they’ve seen.

For those of you who were unable to attend, there’s a great online gallery available here.

Three cheers for Maurice Sendak for providing the inspiration, for Gallery Nucleus for allowing more people to enjoy the work, and of course Cory Godbey for dreaming this thing up.

Here are more pictures from the show:

Terrible Yellow Eyes – Show Announced

I’m happy to announce, (and very proud of my good friend and client Cory Godbey), that Gallery Nucleus will be featuring some of the original artwork from Terrible Yellow Eyes.

Here’s the announcement from Nucleus.

If you’re not familiar, Cory Godbey is the creator and curator of the Terrible Yellow Eyes online gallery. In his own words:

What I’ve wanted to do for sometime is make a collection of paintings inspired by Where the Wild Things Are as a tribute and celebration of the book. And now with the release of the film later in the year, the world of Wild Things has opened even wider.

My goal for this project is really just that, expressing of my love for the story. None of the art has been done for any profit but has all been created out of admiration for Maurice Sendak and Where the Wild Things Are.

Here are a few of my personal favorites from the online gallery:
