Everything I feel from reading and listening to music
I commit to paper in black pen
And gradually, blot by blot, stroke by stroke,
A new mode of expression emerges.
At this point, it’s just scribbles in a diary
Not yet reborn as “Henn Kim” of the future.
_________________________________

Depression and creativity, love and family, books and music: this personal and vulnerable memoir by the iconic South Korean illustrator explores her life from the ages of seventeen to thirty-three through image, text and poetry. From what nearly broke her to what saved her, everyone will find something to comfort them in Henn Kim’s world.

Praise for Starry Night, Blurry Dreams:

'A compelling and unique collection that is more than worthy of a place on your bookshelves'
Red

'A poignant commentary on the complex emotions that affect all of us at one point or another, from heartbreak to fantasy to sorrow' Creative Review

Henn Kim was born and raised in Ulsan, South Korea. After moving to Seoul at 19, she worked as a graphic designer focused on music and art, designing cover art for indie bands. She then decided to follow her own path as an illustrator, and her work has been commissioned by the BBC, UNICEF, Nike, Bottega Veneta, Snapchat, TED, and featured in GQ, The Big Issue and Vogue.
