Many thanks Andrew and I certainly agree I’ve been working on Eva Gore-Booth studies for 20 years now and still more to do.

I regret it took me a month to discover this, but of course once I did I pre-ordered it instantly! A decade after first reading this, I'm still enthralled by the possibilities of #EvaGoreBooth studies — if that is a thing. And if it isn't, we need to make it one for 2026 and beyond!

Here’s how to get my one-off ink on paper drawings. There’s a special offer now, where when you purchase a drawing, you can get a second for just €50 [about £45/$55]. Just DM me to let me sort it out for you! Visit: robbohan.etsy.com
