Ezra Jack Keats

I knew it when I was five and I know it now: Ezra Jack Keats is amazing.

Some of the Coraline concept art reminded me of Keats' The Snowy Day, particularly Chris Appelhans' great work. Appelhans will be at Reverie, Concepart.org's workshop, in Dallas at the end of the month - I'm looking forward to singing his praises in person and asking him if Keats was an influence.

My pal Clinton Johnston has written a very moving playlet about Keats as part of his full-length compendium 'Am I Black Enough Yet'.

Incredible work, and so ahead of its time beyond the art. I had sort of assumed that Keats was black. He wasn't though, just cool.
