David Coombe<p>And now my modern project returns to the quote that's stuck in my head for the last 9 years.

David Coombe<p>“Out with Mr. Gill the artist who has come from town to take some sketches...”</p><p>This was the hook for my project - the hurdle that the "Convict Gill" theory couldn't jump.
