    Hi, I'm Nick from YCN and have just read the post and comments.

    Firstly I would like to publicly apologise to Craig for the disrespect shown to his work, and the anger we have caused him as a consequence.

    Craig,

    If you read this post before you hear my message or see my email - I'd appreciate the chance to discuss this with you privately, apologise to you in person, and commission you to recreate the piece that had been so thoughtlessly trashed. It's very important for me that we see if there's a way to begin to make this right and I hope you'll be kind enough to let us try. I called and left you a voice message as soon as I got your email on Friday - and have replied to your email too.

    This episode is very upsetting for the whole team at YCN, both as big fans of your work and as supporters of design and illustration. I am today going to write to the team at the agency you refer too, for their thoughts on how such a delicate piece of work came to be manhandled by someone in their team into an inappropriately sized envelope and returned so thoughtlessly. I am staggered someone could do this - but irrespective, YCN must take full responsibility for the situation.

    Clearly we made big errors in how we followed up the YCN LIVE project. It would be kind if you could let me know privately of correspondence you sent to anyone at the YCN team to follow up your work's return, which I am embarassed to assume must have gone unanswered. My apologies also for the length in time you waited for payment for your pitch invoice. We have learned a lot from these mistakes, but I don't expect this to give you any comfort of course.

    If you're reading Craig - I feel awful about the ugliness of this situation and hope both that you can give me a call and that there will be some way we can begin to make this up to you.

    My mobile's on the email and I'm around all weekend.

    Hope to hear from you,
    Nick
