Geoff McFetridge Wild Things book
Geoff McFetridge has released a book featuring a small collection of his Where the Wild Things Are work, including the above image for HUCK#018.
Says Geoff: "I met Spike around 1998 and I have worked with him a lot over the years... I noticed a difference when I began working on WTWTA. For the first time, I felt that Spike and I were working on a project where I could actually contribute in a significant way. Much less of what I was making was being thrown away, which was a first. I was given the opportunity to interpret not only Spike Jonze’s interpretation of WTWTA, but also Maurice Sendak’s original book."
"Like any kid growing up in the 70’s I was greatly influenced by Mr. Sendak’s books. His books are not just on my bookshelf they are in my blood. What I did with the titles, type treatments and marketing graphics also owes greatly to the heavy creative lifting done by Sonny Gerasimowicz who designed the creatures in the film and the art direction of K.K. Barrett."
The book is available via Nieves.
