We will be at the Macmillan booth  3352 at 4PM. The poster, seen below, will be free while supplies last! Hope to see you there.

Join me throughout November for a series of exciting book and ornament signings in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Tampa.

My new book A Magical Night Before Christmas and coordinating trim and ornaments are in all Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide.

I have collaborated with Candy Spelling on an ornament to benefit The Lange Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned pets. Meet Candy at the signing event in Hollywood, California on November 6 and 7th.

Look for my custom ornaments for Magnon Jewelers in Tampa and Bergdorf Goodman in NYC.

The custom ball for them this year is really fun!  It has the Statue of Liberty driving a taxicab with Santa , two Bloomingdales’ shoppers, and a doggie in the backseat. They are taking home the Empire State & Chrysler buildings in their trunk!

The 59th St Bridge and Cable Car,  a big Brown Bag, Subway Cars, and a Coffee Vendor are also featured on the ball.A Limited edition of only 240 pieces has been produced.

I also produced a limited quantity of ONLY 60 Bloomingdale’s  Subway  Cars! A silhouette of the Statue of Liberty is looking out the conductor’s  back windowDid you know that when the subway train comes into the station platform and stops- the conductor always sticks his arm out and points to  a black& white diagonally striped  painted board hanging from ceiling, called an “indication board.”

“Since the late 1990′s the conductor is required to point to the sign, after the train stops and before the doors are opened. This is for an eight car train. If he/she cannot look straight out from the cab and see this indication board, some of the cars in the train are not in the station. The doors MUST NOT be opened.” (this and other useful explanations of subway signs from the website www.thejoekorner.com)

I will also be signing copies of my book A Very New York Christmas.

Come and see me if you can.

Until the next sketch!
