luclatulippe:

I recently had a very interesting exchange with a fellow illustrator about reps, so I thought Iad share some of what we talked about here.A

I donat think illustrators necessarilyA need representation.A Iave said before:A An illustrator without a rep is STILL an illustrator. But a rep without illustrators is just someone with nice business cards.A (I sound like a big jerk there, and Iam sorry. If youare a rep Iam sure Iall hear from you and thatas totally cool.)A

And if youare under 35 you may not know that at one time, movie posters were allowed to have word bubbles on them. According to this post, Davis was once the highest paid illustrator in the world. I donat have proof to back that up, but am checking with Professor Peng.

I posted a YouTube video earlier today of Tell Them Anything You Want, a 40-minute documentary on Maurice Sendak who died earlier today. The video has been taken down, but not before I managed to transcribe the author and illustrator’s parting thoughts on his work and life:

I did some very good books, which mostly is an isolationist form of life a doing books, doing pictures. And itas the only true happiness Iave ever, ever enjoyed in my life. Itas sublime to just go into another room and make pictures. Itas magic time where all your weaknesses of character, and all blemishes of personality, and whatever else torments you fades away, just doesnat matter.

Youare doing the one thing you want to do and you do it well, and you know you do it well, and youare happy. The whole promise is to do the work, sitting down at a drawing table, turning on the radio. And I think, awhat a transcendent life this is that Iam doing everything I want to do.a

At that moment I feel like Iam a lucky man. Iam trying very hard to concentrate on what is here, what I can see, what I can smell, what I can feel a making that the important business of life. Just looking out the window at the colours that I see, reading Charles Dickens at night for an hour, little rituals I have of listening to Mozart. Iam learning how not to take myself so seriously, that what Iam working on, what Iad like to work on, itas not earthshakingly important anymore. I am not earthshakingly important.

So what am I saying? Iam just clearing the decks for a simple death. Youare done with your work, youare done with your life. And your life was your work.

I think what Iave offered was different. But not because I drew better than anybody, or wrote better than anybody, but because I was more honest than anybody. And in the discussion of children, and the lives of children, and the fantasies of children, and the language of children, I said anything I wanted, because I donat believe in children. I donat believe in childhood. I donat believe thereas a demarcation of ayou mustnat tell them this, you mustnat tell them that.a You tell them anything you want. Just tell them if itas true. If itas true, you tell them.

I have adult thoughts in my head, experiences, but Iam never going to talk about them. Iam never going to write about that. Why is my needle stuck in childhood? I donat know. I donat know. I guess thatas where my heart is.
