Terrible Yellow Eyes is a great new blog started by Cory Godbey featuring artwork inspired by Maurice Sendak's beloved Where the Wild Things Are. I really like this illustration by Drawn! contributor Jared Chapman. It's the kind of thing I'd like to decorate my bedroom with, if my bedroom didn't already look like that of an 8-year-old girl.

Also worth checking out is We Love You So, the official blog for the upcoming Spike Jonze adaptation of WtWTA, featuring contributions by Molly Young, Graham Kolbeins, and Dallas Clayton.

Which leaves me to ask: which Where the Wild Things Are quote would you title your blog with? My vote goes for "An Ocean Tumbled By."

Owls playing ukuleles against purple backgrounds while ghosts fly overhead should probably be the main design theme of my site. This one is by Jolby (Josh Kenyon & Colby Nichols) from their upcoming show at Subtext Gallery in San Diego.
