Hugh, hate to follow a series of questions with a series of question, but… is everything you produce on your terms, exclusively?

Your “enterprise” is organically scaling. (Congrats on the reception of your book, btw.) As patrons/collectors/sponsors/buyers, sic “users” congregate around your work, is it possible to divorce yourself, and subsequently, your art/production from the people receiving it? Any relationship in nature, something of the I enters into the Thou and something of the Thou enters into the I.

Towards creative fidelity,
