wk12:
Maurice Sendak died on Tuesday.
He left behind a world of wild things, little bears, goblins, and mysterious night kitchens.
Yesterday, Riswold asked us to create a fitting send-off for Sendak.
We decided to go back to the world he created for us. We painted the walls, cut up everything we could get our hands on, and made a total mess of the 12 space (sorry, Jinnina).
Sixteen hours later, we’d recreated one of Sendak’s most iconic settings. And in the spirit of his work, we made it so everyone could be part of that world.
It’s a bittersweet goodbye, but it’s the least we could do for the man who inspired us to forever be wild things.

And we were lucky to land good jobs with a steady income. But we only finished paying off our student loans—check this out, all right, I’m the President of the United States—we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago. — President Obama in North Carolina today on why Congress has to act to prevent interest rates on student loans from doubling (via barackobama)

“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.”
Steve Jobs, 1996 Wired Interview
