Ian,
I
cannot tell you how pleased I was to hear that you were taking me up on my offer
to find you accomodations in Norton. I
think you’ll find that Ashley House will provide you with both quiet and
inspiration – not to mention that your new proximity to an artistic, academic
community will provide you with resources you did not, perhaps, have access to
before. I do not doubt but
that your craft will continue to flourish as you take root in this new soil.
The
reissued Sanguinaria, by the way, is
doing even better than I had hoped to expect, in no small part thanks to you.
Your illustrations are all I could have hoped for; it’s truly as though
my vision is made manifest by your hand. It
has been a pleasure collaborating with you, and I look forward to both our
future work together and having a meeting in person sometime.
If I have not said so enough before, thank you.
Zacharias Cleve
