I'm not even sure how to package this comment, but thought I'd say something considering what this blog is about. I love this design and went to their site ready to buy a print, even after seeing it's in pounds. I stopped, however, after seeing their miniature golliwog. Not one, but two versions for sale. When I first saw it, I flinched, but then thought I was imagining things and being too sensitive. After reading what it's called, there's no questioning: The Alan “Prince of Mischief” Voodoo Charm.
I just question if this is something you want to advertise further, and, although I understand all the cultural commentary for golliwogs in the brit isles, it's disturbing to see them in 2011. So, not trying to call you out, but wanted to bring it up in case you hadn't looked into their designs further.
