Anne Taintor is a collage artist (and mediocre painter) living in Portland, Maine. Much emulated, never replicated, she first began pairing vintage illustrations with witty sayings forty years ago, cutting and gluing images at her kitchen table. She is the author of the bestselling humor books I Can't Be Good All the Time, Someone Has to Set a Bad Example, and But I Wanted a Pony! She has loved being a mom for many decades, and she absolutely adores being a granny.
