I don’t usually consider asking contributing artists to sign the editions I print and publish, but given ANIMAL FARM has twenty-one separate illustrations all by a single artist, more than one would usually expect in an edition, it seemed a good time to start.

Extremely pleased that ANIMAL FARM is already gaining some recognition, as the main eleven linocut illustrations commissioned for the edition were chosen to be exhibited within ‘Storytellers’, on show at the Beaney The Beaney now
