Not at the moment, no. Because of the new tariffs (which have made it far more expensive to ship goods into the US; more information here), I’ll have to refrain from offering US shipping this time around. However, I might be able to open up a second round of pre-orders if the situation changes.

This photo contains so much that I wanted to practice drawing. So I did a quick study, sorry.
It's a beautiful photo of a beautiful person with beautiful art. XD

I do! I print a digital sketch, then fill in the flat colours, and then add outlines on top with a very small brush.
