The Maurice Sendak and Quentin Blake Interviews

Kinda going back in time here - great to watch and get primary insight to how these guys work.

Maurice Sendak discusses the ingredients of a successful children's story, the role of monsters and drawing upon family as inspiration. While Quentin Blake talks of working with collaborators, comparisons between writing and illustration and how to draw non-frightening monsters amongst other things.
