HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

Today marks the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse in China! As I used to do every year (I forgot in 2025), I always make a special illustration of Bubs dressed for the occasion.

But… what is Bubs holding in her hand?
It’s a Japanese Ema, a ritual item used to attract good fortune. It’s said that you should tie it at a temple so your wish can be granted…

And that’s exactly what I’ll do, because with this drawing I wanted to announce that I’ll be visiting Japan in the last part of the year 2026. I don’t have an exact date yet, but I’ll share more details as the time gets closer!

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!
