In both email and in search box queries we're seeing a lot of interest in A HUMUMENT, and with good reason. It has launched a thousand ships, or at least several thousand pages. People are interested!

So we've added a link to the home page in the left-hand navigation. It's the first change of many due to occur on our home page. More will come, including better access to individual works, and clearer delivery of the multitude text and images already on the site.

Also with this edition, we take a look at Tom's sculpture Rosebud, recently featured at the FREE RADICALS III show, and bask in the warm prose of Tom's pen as he gives us all the inside scoop on designing for the Royal Mint.
