Hi, although it's been great to do these books on my own, with complete freedom to create as I like..I'd be happy to have a publisher to take on that side of things or any other business that would like to get involved,
maybe in merchandise..or selling their product with my images?
..so do get in touch if you'd like to know more.
Come and see the Saddletank layout at the next show
