Richard Wells is the stamp of quality as far as I'm concerned, if you can get him involved! thanks Richard for this wonderful piece of art

Another fun time down the @mac_birmingham for @alicelowe's TIMESTALKER, with a cracking post-film Q&A with @SabinaStent Alice kindly let me share the illustation I made for the film, connected to Nick Frost's gloriously repulsive turn in the 18th century segment..!
