Questions about Tea Dragons?

Hi all! I’m planning on making a Tea Dragon Handbook zine (with new information, different to what’s in the back of the printed book!) to sell online and at conventions this year, and I wanted to see if y’all have anything about Tea Dragons that you’re curious to know? Any questions you’d like me to answer or just topics you’d like more information on?

Hi everyone! Just letting you know that I finally have prints for sale again, hooray! I’ve brought back the magical moth print that a few people have asked about, as well as some new ones. You can find them all here, and shipping is a flatrate $5USD worldwide!

Hi everyone!

A set of 5 digital download, ready-to-print Tea Dragons colouring pages are now available on my Gumroad! You can find them here! Each one is full-page with both A4 and US Letter sizes included, and you can print and colour them in as many times as you wish. I hope you enjoy, and find them as relaxing as I found them to make!

Hi! I just bought and downloaded your coloring pages off of gumroad, but page 2, 4, and 5 in size US Letter were all corrupted for me. I tried to download them again, but with the same results :(

Thank you so much for letting me know! I’ve updated those files, so it should all be working now :)

Why do some of the tea dragons have jewelry and others don't?

The same reason people do! fashion~

More lengthy answer: some Tea Dragons will take a deep liking to certain trinkets that their owners might find (or present them with). You can’t persuade a Tea Dragon to wear something it doesn’t want to, and likewise it’s very difficult to persuade them not to wear something they have become very taken with. They’re sort of like teenaged cats.

Does picking out the tea leaves hurt the tea dragons at all/can they feel it when they're picked out? I was imagining that it'd be a lot like plucking out a hair or something

It would twinge a bit if the leaf was plucked too early/when it’s still growing, but if the leaf is fully matured and ready to be brewed, then it’s basically like a lizard shedding skin for them!

hello! my brother just asked me a question abt your tea dragons and i figured that youd be the best source for an answer! he asked if the dragons have to steep themselves in water to make tea?

Avatar

Tea Dragons do love a hot bath, so they’d be happily soaked in some nice hot water! However the tea actually comes from the leaves on their heads, so once you pick some of the leaves you can brew that like you would with any other type of tea.

Does buying from Amazon/bookstore not help the artist?

Avatar

It totally does, don’t worry! But a lot of local comics stores (LCS) are small businesses, so if you’re able to help them out by ordering directly then it’s a really good way to support local communities! In terms of helping the artist, when you order through a comic store it encourages them to stock copies of the book, which puts them on the shelves so that other customers who may not have heard of the book before will see them. That’s why it’s great to order it via LCS! But Amazon and bookstore are still totally there if the LCS is not convenient or possible!

Hi everyone! For those who are interested, here’s how you can order a copy of The Tea Dragon Society to purchase at your local comic book store (and yes, this will work internationally, not just North America and UK!) 

Simply find your local comics store ( findacomicshop.com or comicshoplocator.com can help) and give them the Diamond order code JUN171831 

I absolutely cannot wait for this book to start its journey into the world, and I hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much for all the interest and support!

Will we be able to purchase the physical copy of the TDS online or will we always have to go to a local comic book store?

Avatar

Don’t worry, you’ll be able to purchase it via Amazon or in normal bookstores as well! Ordering and buying through local comics stores where possible is really awesome because it helps out both the artist and the store, but that’s not always feasible so there are definitely other ways to purchase - I’ll have an Amazon link for you when it’s out!
