One of my most treasured memories of this project is waking up to your "draft" of how penannular brooches are made. Another is showing your stone art to the folks who've been studying those stones for decades. And the proud goose showing off the Pictish goose art to their goslings is just priceless!

'A few' 😅 I've used SO many of your pieces in so many videos and conference presentations already! I love them all, but I seriously need the tea mug in the archaeology spread...

It was so lovely to work with you on this book, and I seriously hope we can do more in the future!

We will definitely be shouting from the rooftops when folks in the US can get a physical copy!

It was such a delight to work with you on this project. I feel so spoiled with all your wonderful art!

I kept looking at pieces you called drafts and thinking, "This is going to get even better? How is that even POSSIBLE?!?"

And then, of course, you would show me!

My goodness this MASTERPIECE!!! The ogham graffiti, the grindstone in the doorway, the child-sized quern, the kids playing hide and seek with their grandfather, the kid riding the cow, the teens in the loft...

I cannot begin to describe what a delight it was to wake up to art like this in my inbox!
