Original Illustration Drawings by Maurice Sendak


Maurice Sendak is a world famous artist, illustrator, writer, and set designer, and is most widely known for his Children's Book "Where the Wild Things Are".
What makes these select illustrations unique is the fact that nearly all of Sendak's original artwork is permanently held by one museum, so there is a limited amount of drawings available to private collectors. Wonderful World of Animation is Proud to Offer these to You!
