Shipping Info

 


How much is shipping:

Shipping cost will vary depending on where you are in the world. You will be able to find out the accurate shipping cost for your address at checkout.

All shipping rates are reflective of NZ Posts current rates.

Time Frames:

Timeframes depend on where you are. You can find them at the checkout in the shipping cost line. 

When will my parcel be sent?

I aim to send parcels no later than 1 working day after they are received. Unless it is a pre-order and in that case it will be sent at the communicated date on the product page.

If any of the above is outside your budget, or doesn't feel right for you it is fine to not proceed. Prices reflect the value I place on my art, high manufacturing costs and the market rates for shipping that I do not place mark ups on.

You are always welcome to enjoy my art, worlds and what I do for free online with Social Media.

About:

An artist and author from Aotearoa New Zealand, working across digital and traditional mediums including watercolour, pencil, and mixed media. My work is known for its emotional depth and immersive world-building.

I am shaped by Aotearoa’s unique humour, culture, landscape, and its remote position in the world, which has resulted in lifelong exposure to international storytelling and media. This combination gives my work a globally resonant perspective and a distinct creative voice.

Industry Feedback

"In Sad Sushi Anna Aldridge's artwork has a deftness of touch, marrying delicacy, and beauty with endearing character design, and striking the exact tone required to deliver the serious subject matter." - Matt Tait, 2025 NZBCYA Judge

"Sad Sushi is a powerful yet accessible exploration of the experience of depression, with illustrations that convey complicated emotions and mood shifts in a way that young readers might otherwise struggle to identify or understand. Complex, dreamy and at times almost ukiyo-e-like in its composition, this is a beautifully crafted picture book." - New Zealand Children's Book Awards
