Why do I like his work and what does it mean to me?
I like his work because of how he has a personal connection to me, because of his contribution to both the city I live in (Cardiff) and the Island I go to every summer (The Isle of Bute) and how much deication to the man who’s essentially the face of Bute (John the Marcuss of Bute) and how he put Cardiff on the map.
