Belated V-Day- Colin and Carson

Colin

Carson and son Hank

Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis are my idea of a power couple. Listening to the Decemberists at work today- I still get chills when I hear O Valencia, The Crane Wife, I Was Meant for the Stage... and Carson Ellis' illustrations are the perfect match for Colin's beautiful, heartbreaking stories. Every time I hear these songs and see these drawings, I feel like they have been around for generations, I feel like they are stories and portraits of my family from years past. If you haven't encountered either of these two amazing minds... well, you know what to do.
