Hi. I’m Carson Ellis and Slowpoke is my newsletter. I’m an artist, picture book maker and enthusiast, gardener, mom, musician’s wife, historic farmstead steward, traditional crafts novice, and nature fanatic.
Slowpoke is always evolving, but it generally focuses on art and being and artist. Currently it’s a weekly newsletter that arrives on Mondays. Paid subscriptions get access to more posts and also first dibs on limited edition things.
You can read Slowpoke in the format of your choice: as a newsletter in your inbox, on the webpage where it will resemble a blog, or on the Substack app.
The short answer is that I am a slowpoke. I move slowly and I work slowly. Let’s be slow together.
