My publishers are now seven (!) months overdue paying me. I've been kindly asked by a few readers how they can help.
Best of all is a paid subscription to my Substack: tomcox.substack.com
If you cannot afford that, I've set up this link on my site: tom-cox.com/support-toms...
Thank you!

When I was growing up I had wanted to be an illustrator more than anything. Didn’t pan it quite that way, as life is life, but visiting home I rediscovered I my very first (and only) illustration job I had age 17 - Brian Keats’ “Betwixt Heaven” and Earth -I’d totally forgotten about.
