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

Richard🔥Wells@Slippery_Jack

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..!
