Sometimes, I worry that my puns aren't bad enough, and I wonder how I can make them even worse. Well, I recently went on a trip to Massachusetts, and I photographed this card on CAPE COD. If you need to make someone groan on their birthday, it's in my shop! www.lelandmanufactory.com/product/gree...

I'll have a spot under the tent at the Gaithersburg Book Festival this Saturday! My newest illustrated book, Matchsticks and Charcoal, will be making its first book festival outing.

My last market of the year is on Sunday, from 10-5, at 3 Little Birds Sewing in Hyattsville, MD. Matchsticks and Charcoal, my newest book project, will be on sale for its second weekend ever! Here's a copy that has just been bound in the machine it's lying on, and needs only its final trim!

This Saturday, I'll be at the MPT Flea Market & Bazaar on the MPT campus in Owings Mills. I'll have a full selection of cards, holiday and otherwise, plus books, prints, and calendars! And I have to say - this market is fun. I have ended up doing a lot of shopping myself! mpt.org/fleamarket

I know it's late to be posting this - but tomorrow is the Lancaster Printers Fair, 11 AM- 4 PM at 2901 Willow Street Pike in Willow Street, PA. It's one of my favorite events every year because I get to go shopping, too. The wood type I used on this card was a purchase from a couple of years ago!

Just finished these cards with a new penguin woodcut! All that is left to do is to fold them. You can find them - and the rest of my silly cards - at my booth at the Kensington Day of the Book festival tomorrow, 4/27, or in my shop on my website next week.

Here's another bit of my work - #78 in my 'Helpful Hints and Essential Advice' series. I find vintage advice pamphlets to be hilarious, and I love being able to offer my own extra clever ideas in the same format. This one makes a perfect gift for the squirrels in your life.
