A short update...

Checking my email today I saw reply to a message I sent last week (see blog post on contacting artist).
  The email went as follows,

"Hi Tom,

That sounds great! Please go ahead, and I would love to see the result too!

Peace

Damh"

Not only did I get a reply, but I got a rather positive one and now the artist is interested in my project.
