Back to work after a long spell of illness - caught a really nasty bug in New Orleans.  It feels so good to be working again - I have such amazing projects going on at the moment.  Today I have been using one of the most humble - yet most satisfying tools.

I am working on a fabulous edition of Walt Whitman's the Sleepers, with the most fabulous woodcuts, as you can see below.  And I think I have designed a cover worthy of it.  I hope you think so too!
