This cloaked Centaur is Sendak the Elder. Though he is not related to Vorak and his family, he was the former mentor to Lord Tirek when he was younger. This guy is the one responsible for teaching him how to drain magic from other creatures, even introducing him to ponies!

Kids don't know about best sellers. They go for what they enjoy. They aren't star chasers and they don't suck up. It's why I like them.

Remembering Jean de Brunhoff on his birthday 🎂
"With Bemelmans’s Madeline & Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, the Babar books have become part of the common language of childhood, the library of the early mind."

One of Maurice Sendak's artistic idols was William Blake. Not only did Sendak illustrate an edition of Songs of Innocence, but the art in his own My Brother's Book was deeply shaped in style by Blake's.

E se a poesia construída em cima disso é monstruosa, nada melhor para expressar isso que os monstros de Maurice Sendak. Tão grotescos, mas ao mesmo tempo tão próximos de humanos.
