It’s been quite a week: losing MCA, Maurice Sendak and Vidal Sassoon! Madness.

On that note, it was quite a bittersweet surprise when the NYTimes called to have me illustrate a little letters piece in honor of Maurice Sendak, which I gladly did. There was one letter especially moving from a woman who was abused as a young teen, and while waiting to see how her future will play out after reporting the abuse she found strength in Where the Wild Things Are.

Take a look at the other letters here.

RIP, you legends!

“There’s a lot of output on tour,” she says. “and in the downtime afterwards I was a sponge—I was trying to absorb as much as I put out for seven years. I was being still and trying to learn how to be quiet and remember that silence isn’t aggressive,” she adds. “Sometimes after being in a lot of noise and movement, silence and stillness can seem completely terrifying.”

OK GO - Needing/Getting

“I’ve been waiting for months, waiting for years, waiting for you to change.
Aw, but there ain’t much that’s dumber, there ain’t much that’s dumber
than pinning your hopes on a change in another.
And I, yeah I still need you, but what good’s that gonna do?
Needing is one thing, and getting, getting’s another.

So I been sitting around, wasting my time,
wondering what you’ve been doing.
Aw, and it ain’t real forgiving, it ain’t real forgiving
sitting here picturing someone else living.
And I, yeah I still need you, but what good’s that gonna do?
Needing is one thing, and getting, getting’s another.

I’ve been hoping for months, hoping for years, hoping I might forget.
Aw, but it don’t get much dumber, it don’t get much dumber
than trying to forget a girl when you love her.
And I, yeah I still need you, but what good’s that gonna do?
Needing is one thing, and getting, getting’s another.

When? When? Why not now? Why not me? Why not me?”

2 DAYS IN NEW YORK (2011) - Interview de Julie et Albert Delpy

***

Synopsis : Marion (Julie Delpy) est désormais installée à New York, où elle vit avec Mingus (Chris Rock), un journaliste de radio, leurs deux enfants qu’ils ont eus de relations antérieures et un chat. Le couple est très amoureux ! Marion est toujours photographe et prépare son exposition. Son père, sa sœur et son petit copain (qui est en fait l’ex de Marion et qui n’était pas prévu du tout) débarquent à New York pour le vernissage. Le choc des cultures mais surtout les personnalités débridées des trois arrivants vont provoquer un véritable feu d’artifice entre Mingus, un vrai « newyorker », Marion disjonctée sur les bords, son père qui ne parle pas un mot d’anglais, sa sœur toujours en phase avec ses problèmes freudiens, et son petit ami… no comment ! Vous pouvez deviner la suite, ou pas…

***

Marion (Delpy) has broken up with Jack (Two Days in Paris) and now lives in New York with their child. But when her family decides to come visit her, she’s unaware that the different cultural background held by her new American boyfriend Mingus (Rock), her eccentric father, and her sister Rose who decided to bring her ex-boyfriend along for the trip, added to her upcoming photo exhibition, will make up for an explosive mix.

Actual poster issued by Senator Joe Mccarthy in 1950s, at height of the red scare. All Artists were suspect.

And they suck as people no matter how fun and lively you think they are.

People only care if the bad things happen…it’s always the others fault It’s always the others who will suffer, until one day. That day is today. I’m sorry for those.
