Geminis - Maurice Sendak

  June 10, 1928
Sun Gemini / Moon Pisces / Asc ?

I had no idea that Maurice Sendak and I shared the same birthday. This is strange because I've always admired his illustrations and when I started my own illustrations, they had a very "Wild Things" feel to it. I recently listened to an interview he did on NPR. He was so telling about his views on life and death. If you haven't checked it out... please do! Check here!

Author Neil Gaiman remarked, "He was unique, grumpy, brilliant, gay, wise, magical and made the world better by creating art in it."

Here's one of my illustrations:

Geminis - GIA & ZACH!

Yeah you know it! We are some crazy Gemini's. I was born on June 10th and Zach was born on June 21st. I'm a lot crazier than Zach. He's on the cusp (gemini/cancer). The only time I see the Gemini in him is when we're drinking! He lets loose and the "Zach Attack" comes out. He's dancing and jumping all over the place. We even jump in bushes........ haha I'll have to share this hilarious drunken video of us one day. I'll be adding some Geminis once in a while just to show how amazing we are!! (wink wink)
