Christmas Card Illustrations 2017

To Our EU Customers 💌

If you’re based in the EU, please take a moment to read the announcement in the slides. It’s an important update about upcoming changes due to new regulations.

I’m truly hopeful we’ll find a solution to these challenges soon. Running a small business has become increasingly difficult with so many new hurdles, but I’m committed to navigating this as best as I can.

For our UK and non-EU customers, there’s no need to worry—these changes won’t affect you, and we’ll continue trading as usual.

Thank you all for your incredible support during these tough times. 💕

Warmly,
Liv

🎄 **Important Update for Christmas Orders** 🎄

If you’re planning to order from us for Christmas and want your gifts to arrive on time, please take a moment to carefully review this post.

Additionally, we’ve recently learned about the new EU GPSR regulation, which comes into effect on December 13th. Unfortunately, if we’re unable to find a solution, we may need to temporarily suspend shipping to European countries.

We’re currently discussing our options and will provide an update as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and support during this time! 💕

**Exciting News! New Books Coming Soon! 🚂📚**

I’m thrilled to announce a brand-new series of interactive children’s books, launching soon! A huge thank you to @townhouse_books and my amazing agent Will at @advocateart01 for this incredible opportunity.

I’ve been working on this series since the end of last year, and it’s been such a joy to bring these fun and playful illustrations to life. These books are extra special—not only do they tell stories, but they also include jigsaw puzzles that let kids mix and match to create their own unique trains! 🚆

Stay tuned! I’ll be sharing more details and sneak peeks as soon as I receive copies. Thank you for being a part of this creative journey with me! 🎨✨

✨ Exciting News! ✨

I’m thrilled to announce that all four colouring books I illustrated for Castle Point Books, part of Macmillan US, are now available for order or pre-order on Amazon!

These adorable and unique colouring books have been hugely popular at conventions and markets. I love supporting my publishing clients by showcasing these books at the events where I trade, and it’s been rewarding to see how well they’re received. This strong demand has led to some amazing new opportunities for my work, and I’m so grateful for it!

🎉 Tiny Kawaii even ranked #76 in the Manga for Children category on UK Amazon—so proud to see it hit the top 100!

Although my schedule is fully booked through February 2025, which means I can’t continue the series for now, I truly hope to collaborate again on new projects in the future. Fingers crossed we’ll have the chance to bring more cute, fun designs your way next year!

🌸 You can find these books on Amazon now. Thank you so much for your ongoing support and enthusiasm!
