Who still sees them everywhere? (comic)

As I already mentioned in the previous post, I'm doing much better. I'm trying to draw regularly again now, there's a lot planned again and I hope I don't overdo it again.

Anyway, I've been focusing on pets for the last few comics, honestly it's probably because my own dog is very old (About 14-15 years, not 100% sure because she's a rescue) and she's getting blind and very weak. I'm trying everything I can to be there for her so she can be a content little grandma. But it also scares ...

Patreon exclusive Sequel "wait"

I'm back!

The symptoms of my last two MS flare-ups have finally improved, even the tendonitis is not that bad anymore. As promised, I wanted to make a little bonus ending for the comic "wait" for you. I'm really out of practice, I'm glad I can draw again. 

Thanks again for your patience and get well wishes, that means a lot to me :)

A short "I'm-so-sorry-comic"

Hello friends, 

You've already heard that I've been struggling a bit with tendonitis this month, but unfortunately it didn't stop there and about a week later I had a bad MS flare-up. The attack affected my left leg and my left arm, both were completely numb and I could hardly walk. I don't know if it was stress or if I just overdid it, but my body just didn't want to function anymore.
The doctors put me on 1000mg of cortisone for three days and even though it has improved the ...

Quick update

Sorry for the inactivity, unfortunately I have to inform you that my tendonitis has become worse. I can't even use my smartphone for more than 5 minutes without feeling pain. But the splint I got seems to help a bit. 

I hope you can all stay cool in the current heat wave, it's pretty brutal over here.

A little summer special :)

It's a bit different from my usual content  but I need something funny inbetween to stay sane lol
So, who did the better job? :D

This comic shouldn't have taken me as long as it did, but apparently I've been walking around with tendonitis for three weeks and the pain is really unbearable by now. Now that the comic is done, I can finally go to the doctor (heavens, that sounds so awful).

There's a still a Patreon-exclusive bonus ending for the last car story in the makin...

Behind the Scenes: Loving Reaper's first booth (DOKOMI)

I had already shared some photos of the preparation with you, today there is a small Beind-the-Scenes report about Loving Reaper's first booth! :) 

Dokomi is Germany's biggest convention about books, games, fashion, crafts, anime, etc,  it lasts two days and for artists like me it's a fantastic chance to get in touch with my followers or meet new people.
At the trade fair itself, Dokomi occupies a whole 4 exhibition halls with over 54,000 m² of space, the Congress Center ...

New comic "wait" + DOKOMI

Hello everyone, 

as we're approaching the hot months, it was finally time to write about this issue.

"Really not my best work... but I wanted to upload it anyway because the topic is very important and I'm tired of reading about these avoidable tragedies every year. EVERY. DAMN. YEAR."

I have to admit that the comic was a bit rushed, I was completely overwhelmed with all the preparations for the Dokomi convention in Germany (I already showed some preparations in the ...

Preparations for conventions!

My poor dog is a little irritated why her human is pushing heavy things around and setting them up for photos :D

After the pandemic prevented all conventions and book fairs for so long, I can finally rent a booth this year. I'm not sure yet how many fairs I'll make it to this year, but I'll start with the Dokomi (Germany) this June. I would love to visit conventions outside of Germany or even Europe as well, I hope I can make this happen anytime soon.

But anyway, I wanted to giv...

New comic - "it will change"

I read some really sad facts a while ago, a lot of animals are having a really hard time because of this.
Is this something you have to deal with? Would you be willing to try Nontoxic solutions?

Your Opinion matters 🖤

Hello Everyone!

So much has happened that I could not realize everything I had planned. These are times when I really wish I had a team to split up work. Oh well.

But anyway, to be able to plan a little better in advance I would like to ask you what YOU would like to see more of on Patreon. Your opinion is important to me and would like to see what I can improve :)

So far we have had many different donations, a contest, mobile backgrounds and wallpapers, progress videos, pa...

Behind the scenes: Preparing Donations!

As you know, the publisher has raised funds for animal shelters and organizations along with the book sales. More than 9000€ have been collected, which is almost $10,000. The publisher would like to donate 2000€ each to 5 different animal shelters/organizations. For this purpose, such large checks were made to hand over, so that we can also "prove" that the money was handed over. At the moment we are still asking the organisations if they would be willing for a photo with us (but don't wo...

Sketchbook insights (digital & traditional)

Now that I've largely recovered from the last bout of illness, I'm trying to become more productive again. My agent and I are still working on concepts that we can present to larger publishers, and that is already taking up a lot more time than I had originally planned. 

But anyway, I've been thinking about how I could put together a little sketchbook tour for you all, I had started a video tour once but the video got waaaay too long (like almost an hour lol). I also wanted to show...

Don't be sad if you were alone on Valentine's Day, even death didn't have a date </3 

I would take this opportunity to point out that the $10, $20 and $50 donors will automatically receive Loving Reaper gifts from Patreon after three months in, including stickers, mugs and posters. But this is only possible if you register your address at Patreon. If you do not want to do that, that's perfectly fine, I just wanted to say it again so that people not wonder why nothing arrives.&nb...

New comic!

"Question everything you see. Especially on the Internet."

Some background info:

I've been planning this comic for half a year. Although the topic is not new, it was a video that I found by chance that reminded me of this problem again. In the video were two young men who "accidentally found" a baby cat in the middle of a four lane highway. The cat was so young that it could not walk on its own. Two questions came to my mind 1) how can such a young animal that c...

The (difficult) decision has been made (Contest)

Today is the day!

There were unexpectedly many emails with incredibly beautiful photos and stories. I went through every single email and got quite emotional. Many submissions were really sad and some were super funny. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos and great stories with me, they were all really close to me and at the same time I was sad, I would love to give each one a book. All of you deserve it. In fact, it was so difficult that I decided to choose SIX View Post

Hey peeps,
the holidays are so close and 2021 is almost over. This is just a short comic because I don't know how much I'll be able to make over the holidays. I want to make a "Christmas donation" the next few days and do a  "year in review" post soon. Oh and the signed books have all been sent out and if those of you who get a signed copy should have their book in the mailbox soon (if it hasn't ar...

It took forever and my hand hates me now, but it is done. 200 of the first pre-orderers who get a signature and 300 randomly selected pre-orderers who get a signature with a small drawing. The drawings are whatever was wished for, if there was no wish it is either a friendly Reaper or a happy cat. 

(Those who'll receive a drawing also received an email asking what they would like to get. Just in case you are not sure if you will get one.)

New Comic "in a bit"

In collaboration with "Rewild" and "Rewriting Extinction" I have turned to a new and important subject: deforestation

Deforestation is the primary threat to the orangutan, and many other animals. The tropical rainforests that are home to the orangutans are incredibly important in the urgent fight against climate change. As well as being disastrous for wildlife and the global climate, forest loss can also lead to flooding and landslides, putting local people in danger too.

Loving Reaper's BIRTHDAY!

Loving Reaper turns two years old today!

Crazy. Thank you for allowing me to tell you my stories about death, life and all the souls that were collected for another year. 💕🥰

Normally I would have prepared a little Patreon special for you today, but unfortunately the move stole my time, I hope you understand. 

Nevertheless, I think, mad how the time flies.

Thank you for sticking around and supporting my art so much, I appreciate it wholeheartedly.

New Comic! But...

I had so many thoughts that I wanted to put into this comic, but I feel like I failed to do it exactly the way I imagined it.

Behind the Scenes: BOOKS & Donations!

Since the end of September, the publisher has been packing and shipping the first orders. These books in the photos are the first few thousand orders, and several thousands more will arrive on Tuesday. Since about 1000 books have to be signed first, which I will only be able to do after moving, they will not be shipped until mid/end of the month. I hope those lucky ones have some patience for us.

Quick update!

Hello friends,

I am sorry that it is a bit quiet here at the moment. The reason is that I am currently moving to a new city. The rent is cheap and I would have more space to set up a decent workspace so I can focus 100% on Loving Reaper. Oh, and I need the space because I have to sign a few thousand books soon (RIP my wrist). 

I would also like to show you my new workspace then :)

I hope you have some patience for me, after the move I will definitely be more active here...

I created this comic together with Paul Goodenough (Founder of "Rewriting Extinction") and World Animal Protection UK to raise awareness of this animal injustice 🐻❤️ 

Time  is ticking for every bear tortured by the senseless cruelty of the Bear  Bile industry. There is no need for this abuse: there are cruelty-free  synthetic and organic ingredients with the same medicinal properties as  bear bile, so how can humans justify this abuse!? Luckily World Anim...

Pre-order update

Please excuse the chaos. The books have been put online at midnight (brussle's timezone) due to a programming error. No one has discussed a time with me, I just got a somewhat distressed email from my publisher that the books are now online and a few people on twitter announced it directly. I only shared the link with you then and yet the website was directly overloaded. They left the books online (on a test basis I guess?) but quickly realized that the site did not have the ...
