The Starless Sea

Oh man… Erin Morgenstern’s The Starless Sea is such a delight!

She’s written 2 books and I’ve made endless works of art inspired by both of them! The Starless Sea, in particular, really hits home for me. Just… everything about the stories within the stories… listening to this book is like audio candy. The narrator is phenomenal and does a spectacular job bringing her words to life. My ULTIMATE dream, would be for Erin to be like “Hey, Alanya, do you want to illustrate my next book?” I swear… I would pass away, and then absolutely jump at the chance! I have to restrain myself from obsessively drawing from her stories, like… I’m sure there are other things to create, but when I’m in her world, that’s all there is.

These are a sampling from this continuous journey, as I will always revisit her work!
