Sounds good, but I have to confess I wouldn't be brave enough to hang one on the wall... not a nice thing to look at in the dead of night

I'd love to get some signed prints from Mr. Taylor BUT, they are advertised as 36x18 cm or 7"x14" . Hopefully thats a misprint on his site, but I doubt it. I'll wait til' JW releases some properly sized versions. Sorry my first post wasn't better news..... BTW- Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a while and figured it was time to sign up.
