Loved reading through all of that Tom. I think I’ve felt reassured and hopeful when connecting with other illustrators over the past year. I still get a bit nervous prior to social situations, conferences etc… but I always come away from them feeling full of ideas and inspiration. And, I couldn’t agree more on the enriching power in bringing analogue processes into image creation. Absolutely love following along with your journey

Thank you Dave. I awlays appreciate your kind words! Maybe we'll meet at a conference sometime. On that note, I'm not sure if you live in London, but I will be there in late March. Maybe there's a chance to meet then!

I'm based in Bristol, but do get across to London every now and then. I'm not sure I'll be able to get over late March, but if that changes I'll definitely let you know
