Progress!

Update!

Hey guys! It's not been a great year for me, but I've got some good news as well.

As you've noticed, long story short - I still can't ship to the US. Long version: I could ship to 3rd party fulfillment in the US and then have them fulfill the orders from there, but it'd mean pretty much doubling the price of each reward tier. I don't want that, so for now I'm taking a break and hoping that DHL will find a solution to bring wares post back - regular packages are working again, s...

Super bad news - all shipping to the US halted

Hey everyone! This is an update that really sucks to write. Those of you who are following the Kickstarter already know where this is going, but for those of you who aren't, strap in. I'm going to go into some detail here because I am pissed and want you to be pissed with me, so read on.

As of this week, DHL, along with basically every other postal service from Europe and other nations, was forced to halt shipping to the United States. The reason is a sudden executive order issued by th...

Kickstarter is live!

Hi all! It's time! After three years, here's a chance to get prints of my art!

The link is HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/algenpfleger/johannes-voss-2025-magic-the-gathering-print-collection

It makes sense to be quick - early birds get a signed artist proof! There's lots of new art, including Greater Good from the...

New Kickstarter drops this week!

Hi all - I'm still a little out of it, but I did take the past few weeks to prepare a Kickstarter for you all. It's been three years since the last time I've made prints available, and it's finally time to do that again :) The pre-launch page is here, and you can turn on notifications to not miss it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/algenpfleger/joh...

Hero (Wave 118) - TRIGGER

If you just joined, this post means you made it in time and will receive the sparkly Hero tokens! Patreon will now process payments and shipping information, allowing me to include you in this wave of token care packages!

They'll ship around June 20th, and should take between 1 week (Europe) and 2-4 weeks (worldwide) to reach you :) If you have any trouble with your package or Patreon, or even just a question, simply send me a message on here - I'm alwa...

Up Next: HERO

Hey everyone,

first of all I wanted to say a huge thank you for your overwhelming response to my last update. I've taken some time away from art and gather a bit of strength. I'm still not feeling great, but after skipping two months, I'm happy to report that we've got a token for this month! :)

I'm sure you've been following Final Fantasy spoilers, so I don't need to introduce you to the new Hero creature type. They're printing a LOT of cards with this type, including the new Jo...

Update

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you to those of you checking in on me, and apologies for dropping off the map. I'll be transparent, it's been a struggle recently - I know my work is usually super cheerful, so I hope you'll forgive this update being a different tone.

For the past two years, I've been more and more stressed about how to adapt, now that AI has changed the rules. At the moment, things still seem okay, but what changes do I need to make now to still h...

What do you want the next Sparkly Token to be?

Hey all! Tarkir: Dragonstorm is looking amazing, and there's lots of tokens involved, as usual! What do you think we need first? Or something else entirely? Let me know in the comments :D

Treasure (Wave 117) - TRIGGER

This post means you made it in time and will receive the sparkly Treasure tokens! Patreon will now process payments and shipping information, allowing me to include you in this wave of token care packages!

They'll ship around March 20th, and should take between 1 week (Europe) and 2-4 weeks (worldwide) to reach you :) If you have any trouble with your package or Patreon, or even just a question, or if you missed the trigger, simply send me a message on ...

Up Next: TREASURE

Hi everyone! It's been a while since the last Treasure token, but I feel like this is one that should show up every couple years. I wanted to stick with my lotus theme, but go in a softer, more ethereal direction with a really simple color scheme. The goal is for this one to really stand out on your board :)

That's our sparkly token for February! Adjust your pledges until Feb 28 :)

Snake (Wave 116) - TRIGGER

This post means you made it in time and will receive the sparkly Snake tokens! Patreon will now process payments and shipping information, allowing me to include you in this wave of token care packages!

Up Next: SNAKE

Hi everyone! I have to admit, this suggestion came out of left field for me, I hadn't looked up the animal for this year at all and also didn't realize how big of a blind spot Snake as a creature type still was for me! So - thanks to everyone who suggested this, it's a match made in heaven :D

Obviously there's a lot of ways to approach a scary spooky snake, especially with dEaThToUcH, but I just had to do it in my way which means BITEY BITEY DANGER NOODLE. No complaints allowed, I don't...

What do you want the next Sparkly Token to be?

Hi everyone,

first of all, thank you so much for the huge amount of suggestions for the Cardboard Collection! I think it's going to be a really cool list and I can't wait to get this going! :D

Besides that, we need to talk about this month's Sparkly Token! What do you think? Something really cool from Aetherdrift that caught your eye? Something from the last couple sets? An evergreen? Suggest away!

Best,
Johannes

Cardboard Collection! What tokens do you NEED?

Hi all!

First of all, Happy New Year! I've had a little bit of time to recharge, and I hope you guys had some great holidays :)

For the first post of the year, I have some big news for you - I've been talking about printing a full color cardboard collection for a while, and it's finally happening this summer! It'll be a black bordered token collection, printed on high quality playing card stock in the same dimensions as Magic cards, containing roughly 50 tokens.

That's why...

Skipping December (you won’t be charged)

Hey all,

I’ve overworked myself a little this year and over the Holidays finally managed to unwind a bit. I need to recharge my batteries a little, so I’m going to skip this month. Of course this means you won’t pay anything, and we’ll just pick it back up in January :)

Of course I’m still here to answer messages and stuff. The Bunny Wave will ship first week of January.

Thank you so much for your support this year, and happy new year to all of you! :)

Best...

Bunny (Wave 115) - TRIGGER

This post means you made it in time and will receive the sparkly Rabbit tokens! Patreon will now process payments and shipping information, allowing me to include you in this wave of token care packages!

Up Next: BUNNY

The time is finally here! :D I tried to keep it sweet and simple. When it comes to bunnies, there's no need for anything besides bunny. A good attitude to have when it comes to yourself as well, by the way <3

That's our sparkly token for this month! Adjust your pledges until tomorrow :)

What's next?

Hey everyone :D It's time to decide what this month's token should be. Let me know your suggestions before we put it to a vote! :D

SHIPPED - Wave 114 (Everywhere)

Hi everyone! :D Just wanted to let you know that the Everywhere tokens are now on the way to you. Please allow the usual 1-4 weeks shipping time depending on where in the world you live :)

As always, if there's any problems, don't hesitate to message me! I'm trying to dig myself out of a huge mountain of work right now which I will hopefully be able to - more on that soon :D

Best,
Johannes

Everywhere (Wave 114) - TRIGGER

This post means you made it in time and will receive the sparkly Everywhere tokens! Patreon will now process payments and shipping information, allowing me to include you in this wave of token care packages!

They'll ship around November 20th, and should take between 1 week (Europe) and 2-4 weeks (worldwide) to reach you :) If you have any trouble with your package or Patreon, or even just a question, or if you missed the trigger, simply send me a messag...

Up Next: EVERYWHERE

Hey guys, this vote ended up with a clear winner! I think it's so cool that we finally got land tokens, especially one that taps for any color. Instead of painting something that contains a bunch of landscapes, I wanted to try going for something more metaphorical. Maybe like the end of a long journey, but still a place that is in constant flux.

Either way, that's our sparkly token for October! I hope you guys enjoy it! :) Adjust your pledges until Oct 31st!

Best,
Johan...

Time to vote!

Alright, thanks so much for your suggestions guys! Seems that both Bunny and Otter are still in the race, and are joined by an Everywhere token which I would LOVE to paint! I'll let you guys decide!

Suggestion time! :D

Hi all! Just wanted to ask you what you want the next sparkly token to be! Last time you voted, Otter and Rabbit came in tied for place 2 after Offspring - should I put up a new vote between those two? Or do you want something else entirely? Let me know! :D

SHIPPED - Wave 113 (Glimmer)

Hi everyone! :D Just wanted to let you know that the Glimmer tokens are now on the way to you. Please allow the usual 1-4 weeks shipping time depending on where in the world you live :)

As always, if there's any problems, don't hesitate to message me! Also, apologies for the utter radio silence recently, as I mentioned previously I'm working on something that's different from anything I've ever done before, but I'm learning a lot and will hopefully be able to show it soon! :D

Best...

Glimmer (Wave 113) - TRIGGER

This post means you made it in time and will receive the sparkly Glimmer tokens! Patreon will now process payments and shipping information, allowing me to include you in this wave of token care packages!

They'll ship around October 20th, and should take between 1 week (Europe) and 2-4 weeks (worldwide) to reach you :) If you have any trouble with your package or Patreon, or even just a question, simply send me a message on here - I'm always happy to he...

Up Next: GLIMMER / SPIRIT

Hey everyone, we're going to keep doing Bloomburrow stuff next month but with Duskmourn releasing I really really felt the need to paint a Poodle Glimmer token. I love the concept of something being bright and hopeful in a spooky world, and since I got a poodle puppy this year (who's biting my foot as we speak), this had to happen :D

Also, I realize Glimmer is a bit narrow - so the backside has Spirit type and stats, rather than being full art this time - that way, you'll be able to use...

What's next?

Hey everyone!

First of all, I'd like to know what you want the next token to be! With Duskmourn now out, is there something I should do from that? Or continue with the Bloomburrow tokens? Let me know! :)

The offspring tokens are going out this week by the way!

Also, please excuse the radio silence recently - I'm working insane hours on a project (something that isn't Magic this time) that hopefully I'll be able to show eventually. I know some of you are waiting on message r...

Offspring (Wave 112) - TRIGGER

This post means you made it in time and will receive the sparkly Offspring tokens! Patreon will now process payments and shipping information, allowing me to include you in this wave of token care packages!

They'll ship around September 20th, and should take between 1 week (Europe) and 2-4 weeks (worldwide) to reach you :) If you have any trouble with your package or Patreon, or even just a question, simply send me a message on here - I'm always happy t...

Up Next: OFFSPRING

A clear winner in the vote, and I was really excited to get a chance to do this one! But then it turned out a lot harder than I thought 😨 I tried a lot of ideas that went in the "small copy of something" direction, but wasn't really happy with any of them. I then started over from scratch and thought "what if BABY", and that's when it clicked. Sometimes that's all you need :D

Either way, this is our sparkly token for this month! I hope you like it, adjust your pledges until...
