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

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.

Copies of the first two books in the Guardians of the New Moon Series by Eric Huang, illustrated by PhΓΉng NguyΓͺn Quang, and their press releases. Book 1, Ming and Miaow’s Great Race, shows a child running to the right of the cover, with flame in their hair, alongside a black-and-white cat and a blue dragon. Book 2, The Year of the Rat, shows the same child and cat being swept away by a large body of water which appears to be under the control of a sea goddess.
