Q: And your inspiration for the characters?Ī: Well the two main protagonists-as I was writing, I found myself drawing a lot from my own experience as an 11 year old for Curtis.
The park inside of Portland-that really served as the main inspiration and was kind of the reason for this book even existing. I feel like the landscape and the environment and the energy that is Portland certainly had a big influence on it. Primarily it takes place in a re-imagined version of Portland. Q: What was your inspiration for the Wildwood Chronicles?Ī: A bunch of things. And finally we had an idea and an opportunity to do it, so we kind of leaped on it. We wanted to do a long-form story that would be heavily illustrated. It was something that Carson and I had talked about doing-kind of before we even started doing stuff with The Decemberists. And that was because-it’s something I had been wanting to do for a while. The story had been kind of sketched out for a while, so that was to finish the story, or a version of the story. Q: So, why and when did you decide to start writing books?Ī: It was sort of a long time coming. Tickets are $15 and include a $5 off coupon for Wildwood Imperium. The event requires a ticket, which can be purchased at. Decemberists frontman and author Colin Meloy and illustrator Carson Ellis will read from the newest in the Wildwood Chronicles series, Imperium, at a book signing hosted by Malaprops on Saturday, Feb.
