Yes, Abe is where I'd go for the Kent edition (which reminds me...) I'm pleased to see your painting has survived a PS Publishing layout. Some of their earlier books had a tendency to place the type in a rather haphazard fashion on the cover art. (It should be noted that they've improved a lot over the years.) Once again it's a very small world; intro by Catherynne Valente, one of Jeff VanderMeer's collaborators. I've been working a lot with Jeff this year on his own books and other things. And please do keep me posted about <em>Equus</em>. Looking forward to that a great deal. Hi Clive. Yes, Abe is where I’d go for the Kent edition (which reminds me…)

Yesterday I looked for a copy of the book at abe books, and the parcel arrived today. (Fast service!) It's a beautiful editon. I haven't read the novel since I was a very young man, but this copy is for my partner Peter, who announced just last week that he'd never read it and probably should. The edition of Peter Shaffer's Equus that I illustrated for the Old Stile Press is nearing completion, and will shortly be heading for the binders. It's been so long from conception to birth that I can hardly credit the time that's passed. I'll let you know when it emerges. But this year I also did my first commercial jacket cover, for Marly Youmans novel Val/Orson.
