Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Someone from my neighborhood is dropping by Small Works today to let you know a few important things:




This is the first neighbor from my latest commission piece -- all ten backgrounds are finished, but only one of the characters had all the body parts required to make an announcement today.

First off, my website has been updated to include a new gallery,

freshworks




which will showcase a sampling of my recent works. If you're a Small Works reader, you've unfortunately seen at least bits and pieces of all of them . . . but you might still enjoy visiting them in their new neighborhood.

The other announcement is that I'll be on a flight first thing tomorrow morning to Boston, after which I'll be driving to nowheresville rural Vermont (actually, South Royalton, which is probably more accurately described as smallsville) to visit my favorite tree hugger and her adorable husband for a few days.

I've never been to Vermont!
So many trees to hug!
And all the maple syrup I can eat!
And kids I really miss!



It's almost too much goodness for one trip . . .

but Small Works will return on Wednesday, June 10, sticky-fingered and full of renewed environmental enthusiasm (and pictures!) for show and tell.

I hope you'll return then, too.


In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves.

Not sure what to talk about? I can suggest several topics:



1) Besides speculating on the obvious question, you could discuss whether or not you're old enough to know what this ad is talking about.




2) With this you could not only discuss the merits of tomato soup, but also the possible archaeological implications of having a can of condensed soup this old (1951) in your pantry. And share recipes?


3) Or perhaps you'd enjoy a more philosophical (and therefore intellectually stimulating) discussion, such as:






Ernie?










Or Bert?
