My event with Kathie Lee Gifford has been rescheduled for Wednesday December 15th from 5-6PM at Lord and Taylor.  However, I will still be there tomorrow on the 9th signing my custom Lord and Taylor New York City ornaments, tabletop, and book A Very New York Christmas. If you come on the 9th and want an Angel Blocks ornament, I can reserve it for you to be signed by Kathie Lee.

Some of the proceeds from Angel Blocks will benefit The ABC Foundation, an organization creating model programs for vulnerable children and their families designed to permanently break the destructive cycles of abuse, neglect, sickness, and homelessness.

Meet Kathie Lee Gifford and me at the signing event in New York City at Lord & Taylor, December 15h from 5-6PM.

I look forward to seeing you and wishing you all the best for a joyous season.

Michael

Join me throughout December for a series of exciting book and ornament signings in Chicago, New York, and Long Island.

Look for my book—the one that musician John Legend had in his hand and that Katie Couric Tweeted about—A Magical Night Before Christmas. It is paired with the 2010 Gund Bloomingdale’s bear. My coordinating trim and ornaments are in all Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide.

I have collaborated with Kathie Lee Gifford on an ornament to benefit The ABC Foundation, an organization creating model programs for vulnerable children and their families designed to permanently break the destructive cycles of abuse, neglect, sickness, and homelessness. Meet Kathie Lee and me at the signing event in New York at Lord & Taylor, December 9th from 6-8PM.

Look for my custom ornaments in Bergdorf Goodman in NYC and my art work from my book A Very New York Christmas as a backdrop in Santa Land at the Plaza Hotel.

2010 has been exciting  year so far and busy. My 2010 ornaments are in production and I am gearing up for  a busy Fall.  Lots of events are planned  and for those of you who subscribe to the Landmark newsletter already know that I will be doing a five city tour- including stops in Tampa, LA, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, and NYC. Stay tuned for more in upcoming blog posts.

Also  this year,  you will be seeing  a line of stationery in stores that I am launching with a  Louie Award winning company called a la cards.

For all of you that know that I also work in Book Publishing- I am now VP Creative Director of St. Martin’s Paperbacks and  continuing to work on packages for  Emily Giffin, Kristin Hannah, Janet Evanovich, Lisa Scottoline, and others.

I am excited to share that I have  also illustrated  a book on the retelling of the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem for New York Times bestselling author Donna Van Liere- who is known for her wonderful book The Christmas shoes. The book is called The Christmas Journey, in stores this fall

As I said, an exciting year for which I feel very lucky.

Looking back on 2009- what a wonderful season it was.   It was so great to see so many of my collectors at my events.  I had the energy to decorate my home withsix trees- photo highlights are posted. As you can see my pugs are always there to help me out…and they are honored with their own tree!

Soon I will be  attending the Golden glow convention in Milwaukee- I hope that I will get to see many of you there.

Until the next sketch!
