Where the Wild Things Are - interview
On the origin of Where the Wild Things Are:
The original title was Where the Wild Horses Are. I loved the title, and she loved the title. It was very evocative. The only problem was, I drew horses so very badly that it couldn’t be published that way. It took a period of time to determine what the Wild Things were—what they looked like, what they sounded like. It seemed to take quite a time, and I began to lose hope, thinking that this was just a nice title. But finally it became Where the Wild Things Are, and that was a brilliant discovery because “things” could be any thing, and there was certainly some thing I could draw well.

Inspiration for today...... trail run at dawn in Westwoods
(The ceiling fresco by Guido Reni, done in 1613-1614, depicts Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn as she leads the sun god Apollo on his chariot and surrounded by the Horae, in bringing daylight into the world. The original painting does not compare at all with the dark and murky online versions. The light and billowing robes of both Aurora and the Horae are in colorful pastel shades that are almost ephemeral and arouse in the viewer a sense of wonder and delight in this light that Aurora brings into the world. Note the seaside village on the right corner below - its blue creates a perfect foil for the exploding yellows and orange of daybreak. This painting show quite remarkable restraint on the part of Reni and his hand in this period of Baroque!)
Roman mythology
In ancient Roman mythologyAurora, goddess of the dawn, renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun. Her parentage was flexible: for Ovid she could equally be Pallantis, signifying the daughter ofPallas,[1] or the daughter of Hyperion.[2] She has two siblings, a brother (Sol, the sun) and a sister (Luna, the moon), and four children (theAnemoi, or Winds.)
Aurora appears most often in Latin poetry with one of her mortal lovers. A myth taken from the Greek Eos by Roman poets tells that one of her lovers was the prince of Troy,Tithonus. Tithonus was a mortal, and would age and die. Wanting to be with her lover for all eternity, Aurora asked Zeusto grant immortality to Tithonus. Zeus granted her wish, however Aurora had failed to ask him for eternal youth. As a result, Tithonus ended up aging eternally. Aurora ended up turning her beloved Tithonus into a grasshopper.
