“Quality always wins out, whether in character or in craft, and you’ve shown both on the pages of ImageS. On that basis, you should be a wealthy man soon. Or wealthier, depending on your definition of wealth. I’d like to think I echo the thoughts of everyone who buys ImageS, but if they don’t write and tell you, allow me to speak for everyone. Thank you, sir. Keep up the great work!”

“Oh man, what an inspiration! (Love these labors of love-
congratulations.) Frost, T.S. Sullivant, Kemble and the rest; amazing how those virtuosos could make a penpoint sing. Drawing with a dip nib is hard: they blob, they run outa gas just in the middle of a line. Looking at old Life humor mags and seeing ads for pen-nibs made me realize that every kid in school had to learn to use a dip pen. You’re publishing the guys who got straight A’s....”

"Again, ‘JIMAGES/2’ collects marvelous creative penmen ‘tween its covers. They demonstrate unlimited skills of limning unlimited concepts. Funny, silly, poetic, fantastic, dramatic, romantic, quixotic, blunt, subtle, vibrant, studied, decorous, delicate, strong, bold, as simple and as intricate as can be. There’s so much to please so many diverse tastes – a rich mix indeed. T.S. Sullivant’s maestroisms alone are worth the price of admission."

"Gorgeous – a host of wonderful pre-1923 illustrators and illustrations, oddments from the greats, and a portal into a vanished world. The Norman Lindsay’s alone are worth the cost of the publication."
