As a tribute to Maurice Sendak and his Where the Wild Things Are book, Cory Godbey has started www.terribleyelloweyes.com, showcasing work inspired by the book, and created by artists the world over. Wild Card is my first submission to the collection, but hopefully not my last! Click here for a larger image.

The History Bluff has been a truly fun brand to work with. Describing themselves as a group that is “making a mess of history” they dig deep and find the true details, the “Neety Greety” of the past.

The History Bluff is a news source that is not afraid to uncover the truth.

When you’re a kid, sticks are swords, rocks are grenades, and the neighbor’s yard is a land far, far away. Or the old west. Or Gotham City. Pretty much whatever you need it to be that day. You could imagine into existence anything you wanted. You’d pull out those rain boots, don the Halloween mask from last year and admire yourself in front of the mirror. And what you looked like to everyone else didn’t even cross your mind, because for a few hours that afternoon—you were Batman.

This Beatles picture gives me a chance to work on a photo with harsh shadows, and still have recognition of the subject matter. The two Beatles on the left are indeed Ringo and Paul, so 20 points goes to Sean Gaffney. (Note: 1,000 points equals 1 Schrute buck)
