The Moonlight Chronicles are hand-written and illustrated journals about my simple life at home and travels abroad. You can see all the issues here or scroll down to see my other books. The subscriber list always seems to stay fairly small so you can count on getting a personal "thank you" with each order. Feel free to order ahead as many issues as you like. Sometimes i can be at large for a month or more, but always find my way home to eastern Oregon and the little hobbit hole under the hill. There's a beautiful river here and a green meadow, and to the west a big mountain named after Chief Joseph. Whether at home or wandering the planet, i always find items of interest to document in the ongoing 100-page journals and am honored to be able to share them with all you readers and fans. I also do artwork for the amazing Simple Shoe company, so please make a visit to their website as well and check out all their cool sustainable and earth friendly shoes.

As of September 2007, I have embarked on a one-year quest to lower my carbon footprint as much as possible. No longer will I drive my beloved van. Instead I will walk, pedal and use mass transit devices. Chronicles #62-66 will document my adventures.

Yours in endless sketchings, HOBO

Radical Simplicity

Radical Simplicity ($9.95)

Finally! After spending 15 years trying to edit and simplify his life to the nth degree, d. price sat down long enough to write a big book all about the whole amazing experience. In those years Price went from living in a 6-room Antebellum Kentucky mansion to a cabin, a flophouse room, a 16ft tipi, a burlap hut, mountain tents, 6x10 shed and now on an 8ft circular underground room. The book is 170 pages, two-color and filled with stories, photos and sketches and many practical tips for living a simpler life. Published by Running Press.
