#the ocean at the end of the lane
l almost didn’t post this cuz it looks very surreal and abstract to me.
I just finished reading ‘The Ocean at the End of the Lane’, written by Neil Gaiman. I recommend reading it if you like 'Coraline’ or 'Bridge to Terabithia’, because this story felt like a hybrid of the two. The book was so beautifully illustrated as well. You don’t see too many illustrated novels. I really wanted to draw a scene from it.

Neil Gaiman - The Ocean at the End of the Lane
That’s the trouble with living things. Don’t last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together…
