Hi everyone, and should I mention today : Hi Magic Fans!
My first ever Kickstarter is about to launch. On February Tuesday 20th, thanks to the great team at Original Magic Art, those of you who never have enough playmats will be able to grab more of them!
Of course, these playmats will be exclusive, in versions never seen before.
OMA allowed me to share with you a sneak peak of one of the stretch goals to come : the (very exclusive) ...

I'm happy to share with you the illustration for the Wave 4 "Treasure" token.
I was quivering with excitement to show it to you!
For a very long time, I have wanted to create an illustration that would allow me to explore Gustav Klimt's style. I'm sure you all have already seen at least the painting "The Kiss" by this Austrian ...

Hi everyone!
February is the month when this Patreon is getting back on the road!
First, to all the Patrons already subscribed, I want to thank you for your patience. And another huge thanks to all the new Patrons who joined us during the forced break!
There will be a lot of content this month, and here's what's around the corner for you :

Hi everyone!
This is a quick (but useful!) post that will probably be interesting for you if you attend to the Magic Cons where I'll have a booth.
I decided to offer you the possibility to have your tokens signed for free during the events.
So if you are interested, don't forget to add them to your deckbox when you're packing!
Cheers!

Hi everyone!
Here's Magali :D
Today i'm happy to share with you the video timelapse for the Month 1 Artist Proof contest card : the Painter's Servant.
For the AP winners, as mentioned in a previous post, shipping of your prize has been postponed until this month to hopefully avoid these Artist proofs to get lost or delayed or stuck somewhere. They are pricey and very limited items, not easy to replace.
I also want to take a moment to thank you for your kind messages while I wa...

In case some of you have an ongoing inquiry and received no reply at all until now, please don't hesitate to write again.

Bonjour à tous,
C’est Alex au clavier aujourd’hui ! Je vous écris ce bref billet pour vous faire part de nos aventures du moment. Hier j’ai dû amener Magali aux urgences. Elle souffre d’une infection respiratoires avec de fortes fièvres. Nous restons vigilants sur l’évolution, car Magali est sujette aux surinfections.

Hi everyone!
Before happy wishes, here's a quick update : we are receiving a few messages from people worrying about their package not arriving.
I think you shouldn't worry too much : we're keeping an eye on trackings and quite a few shipments are currently in transit, most probably due to the Holiday season.
All packages for all Tier in Waves 1 and 2, including the Deluxe tokens that still needed to arrive are all on their way. Depending on your country, how the ...

Hi everyone!
I am currently preparing a video to talk to you about some important updates for the Patreon. I thought it would be more pleasant to have someone speaking to you and not having to read one of my usual novels for once!
Aside from these updates, I thought the video could be a great occasion for an Ask Me Anything section.
Any question about Magic ? About art ? About art in Magic ? About this Patreon ? About Dolce ? About how the weather is in France in December/...

70% is how far Alex is into shipping the Tier 3's packages!
He will be working on the remaining 30% within the next couple of days.
But we have a problem. One of the Elf Warrior tokens is missing from the stock. It's like it fell into the Void. I'm very upset.
PS : bisous to you all!

Hi Tier 2 and 3 Members!
As announced when I revealed the December token, we prepared a surprise for you.
We created an alternate version of the original Food Token in a Christmas feast mood!
This special token will come in 1 copy with the rest of your rewards as an extra. Of course, you have nothing to do to get it, it's a little Christmas gift for you. We heard you've been nice all year!
I hope you enjoy this surprise <3
Take care everyone!

Hi Tier 3 Patrons!
I've got a few news to share with you.
News #1 : your Tier will start receiving the part 2 of the Wave 1. As shown on the images here, Alex is preparing the shiny deluxe tokens.
You have all been extremely patient, and we're grateful for your understanding. The least I can say is the past few weeks were a bit of a stinker due to this deluxe reprints. And I had to learn that MY will sometimes needed to adapt to others' contingencies. Not an easy l...

Hi everyone!
Some of you had already guessed in comment or private message! What's better than a Food Token for the December Token ? Let's be honest, the perspective of a good dinner is one of my main Holidays motivations. And you, if you were asked to choose between opening presents or eating, what would you choose ? (and no, "opening a present with food inside" doesn't count as an answer.)
I like food and I like still life paintings. It was THE opportunity! ...

Hello Dear Patrons!
Today we received the Tier 3's Deluxe Tokens.
So yes, the Evil Printer made us suffer a lot with the Wave 1's Soldier Deluxe Tokens. But here ? They did an excellent job. That was a BIG relief for Alex and I.
Useful reminder for Tier 3 Members : for those of you who stayed in the Tier for both waves, you may receive all missing tokens inside your Wave 2 enveloppe (we'll confirm that if needed). That is to say :

Hello Dear Tier 3 Members!
What about an update ?
Your Tier's Wave 2 packaging phase has started. Which means our living room is not a living room anymore. It's a post office with a couch and a cat in the middle.
The Wave 2 Deluxe cards are going to arrive in the coming days. And as the Wave 1 Reprint will be there too, there is now a strong possibility that everything will be in the same enveloppe after all...
Of course, this is only true for the Membe...

Hello Tier 3 Patient Monks!
After a lot of stress and wondering if going at the printer's with a long sword to make sure the work is getting done was a serious option, this morning we received the Wave 1 Soldier Deluxe Tokens.
Alex is now going to be able to prepare the new shipping batch, to be completed with the Relic Fest special silver token, that will be arriving soon too.
The Evil Printing Machine's maintenance was useful : now the tokens look good.
And shiny.

- Keep it PG 13

- Contest is open for a few days
- The winner will be notified through a Private Message, and then will be notified again when the AP will be ready to ship

As you may have seen in the video I posted last week, Standard and Etched Foil Elf Warrior Tokens arrived, and the printer did an awesome job with them (and before the printer, Alex who prepared the files for printing. All Hail Alex!!)

How are you today?
I'm here to give you an update on everything that's currently going on in this Patreon.
First of all, the Relic Fest Deluxe Tokens are FINALLY on their way to us. We hope that the printer will have included the reprint of the other Deluxe tokens. As they've got a taste for suspense, that's to be confirmed. As far as I’m concerned, I'm honing a new skill for sustained harassment to keep the printer under pressure, should they be tempted to go back...

I'm writing this little message to let your know all Tier 2 has been shipped this morning by our Great Alex!
EXCEPTIONS : as it was the first month and things were a little hectic with the page change, some Tier 2 Contributors were allowed to get the Wave 1 even if they had missed the deadline. If you are in this case, your package may arrive a little later, as it takes different verifications. Don't worry, we're not forgetting you.

Dear Patrons,
I’m glad to present you your upcoming token : the Elf Warrior.
I chose this one to be a good match with the Fall season, and added a tiny touch of spooky to celebrate Halloween without going for our usual pumpkins and such. Though I have nothing against pumpkins. They make great soups.
My inspiration for this image was a movie many people who grew up in the 80s and 90s may remember (or not at all) : "Ladyhawke".
