Decor8

I'd like to say thanks to Holly over at decor8 for featuring my calendar
in her extensive 2010 calendar round up.
Apparently she received over 500 submissions and the quality and variety
is really great. Check them out.

2010 Calendar

Finally I'm thrilled to reveal my 2010 calendar.
I've been feverishly drawing yummy fruits, vegetables and
other local delights for each month.
I'm finding as time goes by that I get such pleasure out of eating locally
and therefore seasonally and thought this would be a wonderful
subject for a calendar. Every month features the produce in season and

in January I will be featuring a guest blogger chef who will share
some local recipes. It's going to be an exciting project.
Meanwhile the calendar will be available November 1 from my shop.

Lizzy Stewart

It's been a while since I've featured an illustrator so today I'd like to introduce
Lizzy Stewart from Edinburgh. She loves pencils, Russian history and bears.
I really like her book "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" and her beautiful representations
of the Native Americans.

Sneak Preview of 2010 Calendar

I've been busy creating a 2010 calendar which shows what delicious
produce is available locally on each month. This obviously depends
where you are located but for now I think I have the North East covered.
Beginning in January I will also have a guest chef post seasonal recipes
along with step by step illustrations by me.
Here's a compilation of some of the yummy treats so far.
I will post the final calendar on Friday.

CONGRATULATIONS

Goes to Jess Neil for being the lucky winner of Kelly's food print.
Thanks everyone for coming up with some super imaginative meals - made my mouth water.
And stay tuned for next months giveaway which promises to be cool and collectable.

Taking a Few Days Off

Doing a fantastic job at the moment so deadlines call and I'll be back sometime early next week.
Have a fabulous weekend and try and stop by the Atlantic Antic in Brooklyn on Sunday.
I'll be on Atlantic Avenue between Boerum and Smith from 10 - 6 with great new products.

OCTOBER 1ST GIVEAWAY

Back in July I wrote about Kelly Lasserre, an illustrator who draws her inspiration from everyday observations.
I'm excited that she has donated an 11 x 14 print for one lucky winner.
All you have to do is post a comment below on your dream meal and the winner will be announced on October 7th. Good luck and think up something yummy !
