Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for sharing pictures of The Carpet Mechant Volume 2! It's so wonderful to see the book on your shelves, especially paired with its red older sibling. :D



If you enjoy TCM and are interested in reading more of my work, I have a couple of graphic novels coming up.



1. Alexander, the Servant & the Water of Life, Book 1



This is the artistic follow-up to TCM: similar…

Hello hello,

I'm starting to get photos of The Carpet Merchant Volume II in readers' hands! If you haven't done so yet, please confirm your address so that the fulfillment centre can initiate delivery. And if you have already done that, the book + your rewards should be on their way to you soon!

Additionally, here is the transcript and supplementary guide for Volume II. The transcript is the prose…

Hi everyone!

It's been awhile since I last talked to you. There haven't been any cool updates to share since TCM was doing its rather mundane thing of sitting at the printers, getting shipped out, sorted at the warehouse, etc amidst the long delays caused by the pandemic supply chain issues...

Hello everyone,

I've just submitted the final files for the graphic novel, which means we've made it to the PRODUCTION stage of Volume II!

Hello everyone, fantastic news!!

We're completely funded over Easter weekend!!! Once again, thank you so so much to all supporters new and old for making this second volume a reality. I am excited to be moving on soon to production!

Here are my next steps:

1. Enamel pin and carpet bookmark production: this April I will begin reaching out to manufacturers and get started on the production…

Hello everyone,

What a year it was last year! First off, I must apologise for the lack of updates and the slowness of the crowdfunding. Due to the pandemic and the economic difficulty it entailed to so many people, I personally felt uncomfortable constantly marketing this campaign, and then, of course I got swamped by other professional obligations. (Not an excuse but an explanation) That is…

Hello everyone,

I wanted to say THANK YOU!! for the trust, patience and support you have given to this campaign, especially during these strange times. I apologise if progress has been slow (I've reduced promotion since March both in consideration of financial difficulties for potential backers, and my own mental health), but it's truly awesome to see that we're moving closer towards raising…
