Just learned today is World Turtle Day. Celebrate with Turtle Neck from the Curls Webcomic. You can’t deny a turtle who likes wearing turtle necks. Check out some of THE BEST OF TURTLE NECK: http://www.curls-studio.com/curls/?tag=turtle-neck

Curls Studio was recently accepted to be a vendor at Handmade Mart in downtown Silver Spring, MD! We hope to see you at booth #64 on Sunday, May 22 (see where we’ll be located in the handy map image below). You can check out our Q&A on the Handmade Mart blog and take a look at what other vendors will be selling.
Hands-on workshops will be hosted by the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center. Their workshop booth will be located in the front of the main stairwell, next to the fountain. Pyramid Atlantic will be leading workshops in paper-making and screen printing.
WHAT: Handmade Mart
WHEN: May 22, 2011 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
WHERE: Ellsworth Drive in Silver Spring, Maryland (between Fenton and Georgia Avenue)
This event is FREE to attend and fun for all ages! Stop by and say hi to us. See you this Sunday!

May 18 – UPDATE: Downtown Silver Spring is no longer allowed to have booths located on both sides of the street during any of their future events. This ruling came from the Fire Marshall’s Office, so booth #’s 59-71 had to be moved. The second development is that the large stage, which is usually located in front of the breezeway, is still up. Apparently there are a few mechanical problems with the stage, so it cannot be taken down in time for the Mart. The stage itself won’t affect any vendors booths, but the organizers have decided to move the Handmade Mart booth onto the stage, instead of in front of the fountain. The map posted yesterday has been taken down and replaced to represent this change, so the map above is correct.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for visiting the Curls webcomic site. I am hard at work to finish a five page story for an upcoming anthology, so there will be no Curls strip today (and possibly Monday). I will make it up to you gals and guys somehow, but for now you can instantly partake in other exciting stuff available to entertain you…
You can:
• Read previous Curls comic strips in the archives
• Visit the Curls Studio Production Blog
• Listen to The Carolyn & Joe Show Podcast (updates every Tuesday)
• Look at a year’s worth of sketches in my Sketch Before Sleep project
• Follow me on Twitter @CarolynBelefski
• Like Curls Studio on Facebook
Thanks for your patience,
Carolyn
I was recently informed by someone who works for Virginia Commonwealth University Libraries that: “VCU put all the Commonwealth Times issues online (I was the lucky person who removed the archived collection from their bindings and prepared them for digitization) so you can you can find all your Curls adventures as a Ram here! :)”

For those of you who do not know, I have a webcomic called Curls, which got it’s start in VCU’s student newspaper, The Commonwealth Times, published in print every Monday and Thursday. You can now search the database of VCU Libraries Digital Collections to read my Curls strips from 2002 to 2004.
Now I publish Curls on the web every Monday and Thursday in honor of the original publication days. You can read Curls here: http://www.curls-studio.com/curls
Curls Studio was a guest at the April 10, 2011 Capicons Comic Book & Pop Culture Con at Dunn Loring Volunteer Fire Hall in Dunn Loring, VA along with Rafer Roberts and RM Rhodes.
It was a fun time. I met some interesting new comics fans and ate two doughnuts. I also purchased a Thorn (Bone) action figure for only $3. We gave away many free issues of Magic Bullet. Thanks to Capicons for having us and thanks to all who attended and talked to us!
