I picked up the latest edition of American Frontierman off the rack at Walmart this evening, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that it contains a nice article on Ian and his work. It has pictures of his "Southern Traveler" rifle, so I finally get to get a decent look at it, including the cheekpiece side. Very cool gun.
So, I believe congratulations are in order, Ian. If, as the article says, you have reached the point where you can stop accepting commissions and just follow your own muse while still making a living doing so, then you've pretty much achieved the artist's dream.
