The Moonlight Chronicles: A Wandering Artist's Journal Paperback – August 1, 2000

by Dan Price (Author)
4.6 out of 5 stars 67
See all formats and editions
Our favorite freewheelin' scribe Dan Price's inaugural collection of vagabond musings, HOW TO MAKE A JOURNAL OF YOUR LIFE, was such a hit that we could hardly wait to bring out THE MOONLIGHT CHRONICLES. Dan's Moonlight Chronicles zines have long been a cult favorite of art, travel writing, and outdoor enthusiasts. This full-color book version picks up where the zines left off, following Dan as he ambles through the cafes, alleyways, and skyscrapers of New York City; hits the trail for a five-day hike in Hell's Canyon; and wanders through the Sierras, in the footsteps of kindred soul John Muir. Dan's spirited language and charming pictures remind you of the small joys of life and the fact that happiness abounds, just waiting to be discovered along the highways and byways of America.

Easy to take in small doses or in one marathon read, I found each page enchanting. The author shares tidbits of their life in a sort of journal fashion, accompanied by drawings and doodles. I found myself smiling much of the time as I read through this and I highly recommend this book.

This is the type of book that I found motivating. Dan finds so much joy in his art that I was inspired to journal as well, this is an art that makes more artists. His style is distinctive, intimate, captivating and fun. To draw your life is to engage, understand and appreciate it on a higher level, this is a lesson learned. On to Volume 5 for me, thanks Dan.

This was a neat little book to flip through. But was very hard to read his handwriting at times. But a great example of a travel journal. I bought it used and was in good condition and shipped out really fast to me.

This is a wonderful little "chronicle" of the musings and observations of the author as an artist, husband and father. It is full of little gems of wisdom that comes from paying attention to the ordinary little moments in life. I have bought a few as gifts for friends. In a time where life often is experienced as flying by, this book illuminates life's very precious qualities in the enchanting stories of this very talented observer.

The book came as described in a timely manner. I like the book and all the examples the writer gives for his art journaling. Nice information with good pictures to get ideas from. I would buy it again, in fact, I gave it away to a new art journaler, so I will have to get another one.

i journal... everyday so i wanted to see what other people do in "theirs." This is a lovely small book(fits nicely into a handbag)Has loads of quirky sketches in it of just about everything; from a fire hydrant to a go cart.. this man can draw so it might intimidate those persons who cannot. I have less writing in my journal more drawing but this book is lovely, the woman behind me in the bus thought so too and asked to see it! a little pricey but worth it if you enjoy journalling and drawing.

this is a lovely book. Wonderful text, lovely drawings, just perfect. My only niggle is the binding, which in common with many US publications is just not up to the job. When you get your copy carefully bend the front and back covers fully open with a metal straight-edge, along the already scored mark. Then it should be fine.

What a gem. This book was and is an inspiration. If you are interested in starting your own artistic journal take a look at this. The story and art work will inspire you. One of those books you will dip into again and again.

Loved Dan's approach to life as much as the sketching. One of those 'pause for thought' books that is simple and true.
