Illustrator and letterpress printer in Baltimore, Maryland. Purveyor of bad puns and silly pictures. I love rocks and trains and gardening and obsolete industrial processes. Graduate of North Carolina State University and Falmouth University.
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!

My next market, and my only one in Baltimore for the 2025 holiday season, will be in Remington on Sunday:

It's a great market in a great space!

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!

The calendar is finished and available in my shop:

This year the bunnies are stealing produce from all over the western United States.

You can get it in person this month at the Doylestown Arts Festival and the Lancaster Printers Fair!

Finished the last of the illustrations for my 2026 calendar yesterday- here it is on my desk - and put together a proof this afternoon. On track to go on sale next weekend, September 6&7 at the Doylestown Arts Festival! Find me at space 88 on Main Street. #DoylestownArtsFestival

Working on some new cards today! These should be ready in plenty of time for my first market of the fall season, in Doylestown on September 6 and 7.

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.
