Carson Ellis is the incredible illustrator many of you know as the artist who has defined nearly everything The Decemberists have done - even creating some of the props and hand lettering the subtitles in the 16 Military Wives video.

Today she's announced the start of her new website little little green house. It's a blog, but all she's going to do for the rest of the year is post drawings mercilessly. For a Carson fan like myself this is a godsend. Look out for more work coming up from here this year - I don't know what I can see but some really cool children's books are going to feature her work.
