I hope to do this on Wednesday (tied up all day tomorrow). Thank you for including me in this wonderful project. Best wishes, —David Stuart Davies To say we were flattered by David's email would be something of an understatement. David is an award winning playwright, editor and writer and one of the leading authorities on Sherlock Holmes. Peter—I have received the copies of Issue 8 and would like to say a sincere “thank you” for publishing such a wonderful article! I am very flattered and honoured to be profiled in illustrators . The reproduction quality of all of the images is outstanding. I only wish Bryn were still with us so I could thank him, as well, for all of his work on the piece.

Best wishes and keep up the good work! —Nigel Suckling With almost 100 interviews and articles published over the last 8 years, I'd say this one will be my most treasured. A wonderfully written 25 page interviewcoveringmywork and touching on the whys, hows and everything in between *proud* —Joanna Henley aka Miss Led We were both amazed and delighted by Miss Led's recent Facebook posting— thank you Jo! First off, congratulations on a splendid edition of illustrators . Apart from that excellent piece on Parker, I loved the art of Miss Led, who is completely new to me, and it was great to see so much of Bruce Pennington's work, which I have always admired and his alien image made a most arresting cover. Your obituary on Bryn was a wonderful warm evocation of the man; your liking and admiration for him and his talents shone through. I now look forward to the next issue and the Nicolle! Best Wishes, —David Ashford I loved this issue so much. Pennington was the artist of my awakening interest in SF. His interpretation of the Bradbury covers shows he might not have read the books but who cares!!! And Miss Led's work is gorgeous - never heard of her before! Best wishes, —Norman Boyd I got a very nice feature/write up in illustrators magazine in issue #9! Thank you Peter Richardson - this is a must have magazine for illustrators Thank You! —Will Terry The pleasure is all ours Will!
