Comment by Zeno Izen on September 14, 2026 at 4:12pm: I'm nearly positive that the name won't be a problem. I got something addressed to zeno izen and someone at the post office put a question mark on it but they still delivered it.

I'm going to mail something to all the overseas addresses I got pretty soon, so something is headed your way no matter what happens. though it would be a shame if I didnt get it!

I might send you one of these separately just to see what customs thinks of it.

Comment by MH//ANTIPODE on September 14, 2026 at 3:47pm: they do look yummy!

i already sent some letter your way some days ago, but i put your artist name on it, hopefully it will still reach you
