An irresolute yet humorously spirited narrative is this totally hand-crafted book about indecision and confusion, while offering up true-to-life stories as various options for the book’s ultimate direction: no place. These miserable anecdotes and ironic childhood tales include bad dreams, avoiding school, playing drums in a band that toured with Pauly Shore, revelations of a dysfunctional family life, and touches upon rape, while keeping a dark but hopeful sense of humor.

Carol Es is a self-taught Los Angeles artist born in 1968. Her artistic nature was formed early, drawing cartoons beneath tables in bowling alleys. She attended school infrequently, instead working as a pattern cutter in the apparel industry with her family. A dark, yet childlike humor interweaves throughout her paintings, drawings.
