 Frederic

This  character was created to performance at the Parade for the First Night event in Boston, he is  a big head  monster  but at the same time friendly, shy  and cute. He inspired  lot  compassion especially from children when he visits their schools.  I feel fortunate when people make a connection with the story for children "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. The truth is I knew the story  after my work was done.
