That very night in Max’s room a forest grew and grew and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around.. He sailed off through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year to where the wild things are.. Max said “BE STILL!” and tamed them with a magic trick and they called him the most wild thing of all and made him king of all wild things.. All around from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat so he gave up being king of where the wild things are.. He sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day and into the night of his very own room where he found his supper waiting.

Wild Things

Photographic Illustration based on the children's book by Maurice Sendak, ‘Where The Wild Things Are’.

These images were created by photographing all the individual elements that make up the picture, and through many, many hours and layers in Photoshop, blending them together to resemble the original book illustrations.
