here's all the latest and greatest. or, what i've remembered to write down for you, at the very least.
Happy New Year to you! Well, it November wrapped up nicely and December was a whirlwind. I hope that you returned all of your returnables by now and had a lovely set of holidays. I'm buried in books, it's my dream come true. Well, next to being buried in puppies that is.
Thanks bunches! A super heavy-duty thanks to Real Simple Magazine for whittling down an impressive list of over 300 items for their 2007 Holiday Gift Guide to just over 60, including my Alphabet Prints this past year. It was an amazing experience. The online version can be seen here:

Sweet Poster Show: Boy howdy, sweet indeed. I am in a fantastic show called Sweet, The Graphic Beauty of The Contemporary Rock Poster at the University of Maryland running from February 6th - March 29th. Note! it's the opening day reception that is a bit special than the next kid. Many of us participating poster artists will be there for Sweet Booth, a mini-Flatstock meet'n'greet event where we'll be selling some works and talking to friendly folks like you from 11am - 7:30pm. As if the event needed to be cooler, John Foster (author of the superb New Masters of Poster Design) will be lecturing. For more information, look at the UMD Art Gallery site here: http://www.artgallery.umd.edu/exhibit/285.08/index.php/ and be sure to check the web version of the Sweet postcard: http://www.strawberryluna.com/sweet-poster-show/sweet-postcard-promo.jpg and do come and see the show, ok?
