A unique memoir of an artist's life. For decades, Peter Selgin struggled to reconcile his two great passions, writing and visual art, feeling that he had to choose between them or fail at both. In this unique memoir pairing pictures with mini-essays, Selgin unites those two once irreconcilable passions. The result is a singular intimate portrait of a multi-talented artist's life, his inspirations, his methods, his challenges, his anecdotes and adventures. With over 100 full-color illustrations. "Peter Selgin is a born writer, capable of taking any subject and exploring it from a new angle, with wit, grace, and erudition."--Oliver Sacks.
