That’s great. I don’t know if you have a copy of the book “Graphic Witness” – it’s a recently released collection of four wordless graphic novels by the likes of Masereel and Lynd Ward. Anyway, it’s a gorgeous book, and as I worked my way through it one of the things I was reminded of was your work, which I always enjoy.
