For those of you in the Portland area this weekend, illustrator Ward Jenkins will be reading the book he illustrated, "How to Train with a T-Rex and Win 8 Gold Medals" by Michael Phelps at Barnes and Noble in the Lloyd Center. He'll be signing copies and showing some of the original drawings from the book. Saturday, November 7, 2009 between 2:00pm - 3:00pm . Click here for more details.

Also he's got some fun holiday stamps he's designed for sale through Rubber Soul for all your holiday card and tag creating! Click here to see more (they're so fun)!

Jenkins is also celebrating 5 years in the blog world, so a trip over to his blog, Ward-o-matic (one of the first blogs we ever read) is definitely worth a visit ! Lots of illustration goodness! Congrats Ward!
