IT - Something Wicked This Way Comes



This is one of my favorite books of all time. It perfectly captures the feeling around fall and October and Halloween! I love Ray Bradbury in general...he has great descriptive passages that are full of inspiration for all kinds of things. I reread this last week and took notes on all the parts I really loved. I'm working on some sketches now, inspired by it. Autumn is coming up and I am so in the mood to think about creepy carnivals and witches and falling leaves. It's a shame that most of the covers of this book don't seem to be that great, because the potential is so high! I like this one, though. Maybe someday when I'm a famous illustrator I can do a reissue :)
