As if there weren’t enough stuff already going on this week, the official announcement for Cartozia Tales has just gone live!

I’ll share more sneak previews as and when I can. In the meantime, consider signing up as a regular subscriber to receive the first ten issues and help guarantee the continuation of the project.

See you in Cartozia!
