Maurice Sendak

There are two out of my all time favorites in Sendak's children's book illustrations that always give me fresh ideas and they are A Hole is to Dig and Sarah's Room. Both children's book illustration carry this very light and cheerful quality in his illustrations that has a great balance of style and concept. Although the illustrations aren't as highly detailed and "full" (as they look like gesture sketches) the quality of his illustrations goes well with the story.
