Hello! It's no doubt partly due to my spectacularly poor marketing skillz, but sales of prints have been pretty woeful of late. So if you are after a gloomy antidote to all this pesky fine weather and sunshine etc, do have a gander. Reposts also much appreciated. sarahcoomershop.etsy.com

I'm very excited to read this debut younger fiction from Eric Huang (writer) and PhΓΉng NguyΓͺn Quang (illustrator)! Banging first page where the Jade Emperor is bored cos he made earth and...now what? Reading on asap! @littletigeruk.bsky.social I'm not sure if either of 'em are on here?
My hand is holding up a copy of Guardians of teh new moon: Ming and Miaow's great race, written by Eric Huang, illustrated by PhΓΉng NguyΓͺn Quang. The illustration shows a kid with fox-red fire in her hair that implies she might not be fully human. By her side runs a grumpy looking black and white cat. Behind the is a long blue dragon with big eyebrows and at their feet runs a little....I think it's a mouse but it might be some other rodenty critter.
