International postage rates are out of control. UPU changes mean you can no longer send goods as Letters - they must be sent as Large Letter.
Sending a sticker from UK to USA costs £4.20 + 50p handling = £4.70 (+tariffs!)
Jan 2025 it cost £2.80. ~68% increase.

Looking at numbers, it looks like depending on world zone we're looking at an additional 80p per "letter", so shipping prices for artworks and flat goods are going to shift up for customers ordering from the UK.
Although not by much, it feels unfair.

So the Universal Postal Union has decided commercial goods cannot be shipped in letters anymore so now I have to raise my Patreon rates 😍🔫

Snowy day for the Roman cavalry ☃️❄️🌨️
I reworked one of the figures from last year’s Northern Lights piece to create this scene of a cavalryman and his loyal steed walking in the snow ❄️ I liked it so much that I’m now posting it as its own illustration - the scene is just so tranquil 🌨️

This was a very green year for me art-wise, maybe some of these complimentary colors can inform next year's art. Inspired by @samanthamash.bsky.social's and @flaroh.bsky.social's pantone posts.
