Ellis has made new paintings to accompany the finding of a diary she kept every day for one week when she was 25 and, like any neurotic, nostalgic, and ambitious 25 year-old, afraid of losing time, or memories, or the memories of moments, and desperate to be, herself, momentous. - CF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning, beloved children's book author and illustrator Carson Ellis makes a stunning adult debut with an illustrated memoir that evocatively captures a specific cultural moment of the early 2000s and in her journey as an artist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn January 2001, the young artist Carson Ellis moved into a warehouse in Portland, Oregon, with a group of fellow artists. For the first week she lived there, she kept a detailed diary full of dry observations, mordant wit, hijinks with friends (including her future husband, Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy), and turn-of-the-millennium cultural touchstones. Now, Ellis has richly illustrated this two-decade-old journal with extraordinary new paintings in the signature style that has made her an award-winning picture book author today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis beautiful volume offers a snapshot of a bygone era, a meticulous re-creation of quotidian frustrations and small, meaningful moments, and a meditation on what it means both to start your journey as an artist and to look back at that beginning many years later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover | 80 pages | 7.80\" x 9.30\"    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carson Ellis (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46727089225960,"sku":"9781797216959x","price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/5896\/5549\/files\/BNCImageAPI_cb0dc328-7c45-4f4c-b682-1acad3ce2f6c.jpg?v=1727194659","url":"https:\/\/typebooks.live\/products\/9781797216959","provider":"TYPE Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
