Secret side project :)

This tiny plush-reaper is going to be my stall helper at the next book fairs/conventions/etc
But he needs a crappier scythe yet!

Comic Preview

Little sneak peek of the german comics. For those who are interested in ordering, I thought it would be fair to show the booklets in their size and form.
English comics will be here within the next days as well :)

New comic!

Don't miss my new comic :) This is also one of the issues that needs more attention - still! 

Enjoy :)

Addition

Hey guys, seems I forgot to add some critical infos in my last post.

The price for the comic is 3€ which is roughly $ 3.35, shipping depends on where you are located. Me and the publisher are a bit overwhelmed with messages at the moment, I apologize for any confusion :') I'm here to answer any questions you have.

Comic up for order!

I didn't openly announce it on my other social media yet, but you can place your first orders of the little comic books. They're roughly 40 pages and include my first two stories of "black cats" and "good boy".

You can send your order to  machandelverlag@googlemail.de , please send your adress, language (german or english) and how many you'd like to recieve. Oh, also mention either the german or english title to avoid confusion. If you want a signed copy you will have to mention ...

Donation done!

(Sorry it's german lol) another donation was made possible, because all of you :)
Thank you for helping the cause. The more we grow, the more we can give!

Again, feel free to check into www.homewardpet.org if you want to learn more about this lovely shelter :)

Donation delay

Hey friends, there will be a delay in donating, as the chosen shelter seems to offer no way to donate online. We're negotiating now how I can get the money to them. Just that you're in the loop.

Stay tuned x

More Smartphone Backgrounds (Patrons only)

Feel free to tell me more wishes. Desktop backgrounds might be another option soon.

HD smartphone background

I'd like to offer HD images for smartphone backgrounds for patrons only, let me know if there are any other images you'd like to have :)

Next Donation!

Alright, the month is coming to an end, means we can pick another organisation for the next donation.

I've picked another shelter from the list we've created, and would give the next donation to
https://www.homewardpet.org/

Their program includes adoption, rescue, veterinary care, continued care and many other things for the animals in their area.

I hope that is alright for everyone. Also, if you know...

Brake for ducks

I know this one is a little rushed, but...
Once day when I left Berlin, a bus drove in front of me. A small family of ducks was  almost completely on the other side of the road, only the last three  chicks were lagging behind. if the bus would have waited only 2-3  seconds or just slowed down a bit they would have made it, but it ran  over them. Please brake for Ducks. They're just little families who want to live their lives. :(

Cover art for the german prints

As mentioned before, I am working with a german publisher about printed versions of the first two comics. We're still discussing about the english version and how to pull it off, but you'll be the first people that will be informed!

I don't know if I have any german patrons here, but if I do, you can probably grab a copy at the Comic Salon in Erlangen this summer and say hello :)

(Yes the font iss super ugly, it will be changed lol)

Second donation done! Thank you :)

(I had to make a double donation, because I didn't realize I could only donate in AUD at first.)

Donations of January went to "Wildlife Victoria" (https://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/)

The group has started a Victorian Bushfire Appeal where donations will  be distributed to wildlife shelters and carers across the state affected  by the fires. You can read more about them on their website :) ...

Poll results

Thanks for voting. Australia's up by a close second. I would say that for this month the donation goes to Australia and it's bushfire victims. Next month smaller organisations will get our attention again. Hope that's okay with everyone. Thank you again for making this possible :)

Next Donation!

As we approach the end of the month, I would like your opinion on the next donation. Should the next donation go to Australia or should a smaller organisation with less international attention get some support? I find that incredibly difficult to decide. As I said, there are dozens of issues that need our support (we have already collected some in an earlier post). Let me know what you think.

New Patreon Tiers!

Because I had to revoke the acknowledgements, I had an even better Idea. Patreons can now choose from these 5 motives (might be more options in the future) to get it in their mail. Because of the production costs and shipping costs I can only offer the cards from the $10-Tiers and above.
It is up to you if you want to get them blank or signed :)  

I'll think of something extra for the $5 Patrons, it'll be announced here soon.

Hope you like it!

Some announcements

Hey lovely Patrons,

Sorry that it's a bit quiet here, that's because I'm writing my bachelor's thesis this year. Unfortunately it took me some time, but that doesn't mean that I make less comics. In fact, a new comic will be published today!

Another thing is that I will have to revoke the benefit of the " Acknowledgement in the next comic project ". With over 160 Patrons it is way too much to credit them all.
I will think of another benefit I can offer you instead. Feel free t...

Sneak peek sketch

My sketches are usually really rough. Can you make out what the next comic will be about? :D

You can order poster of the complete comics now!

I had several shelters asking for a way to display my comics as a poster, but I thought I could make them accessible for everyone :)

You can order them here, if interested:

Bushfires in australia

I'm sure most of you read about the devastating bushfires in australia. It's been said that some animals that are native to Australia could be extinct. 1/3 of the koala population has been killed. It’s heartbreaking.  Over 500 million animals in Australia have been killed by the fires. I am trying to figure it if there is a way to donate to some organisation that is helping the wildlife to recover from this tragedy.

First Donation completed!

I am happy to announce that I was able to send the first Donation to
https://www.nowzad.com/ 

Thank you for making this possible :)

Takes a while?

Just to keep you updated: I guess it will take another 1-2 days until your pledges are on my paypal account due to processing. I'll send out the 30% donation as soon as it is available.

Bothers me a little because I thought I could transfer the donations in December. Oh well.

I wish all of you a fantastic 2020 !

As a reminder, many pets are afraid of fireworks and at risk of running away and getting hurt. Please take care of your furry friends and make sure that they're comfortable :) 

This was a super exciting year for me and I am beyond grateful that we can help a little to create a better world for animals. I couldn't have done it without you guys, thank you SO much! :)

Happy Holidays :)

I know I'm late, but I'd like to wish you all a Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas/Happy Hannukah/Happy Kwanza/Whatever you celebrate, I hope you'll have a fantastic time and a fantastic new year!

I already have some good news for the next year: a german publisher would like to print little booklets of my comics, as they'd like to present them at the next big german bookfair. All proceeds are passed on to animal shelters.

If any printed copies remain, you as my patrons will be the fi...

New comic this weekend :)

I know it's a bit quiet here at the moment, but I am working full time on the next comic. Published this weekend! Stay tuned :)

115 Patrons, over $500 !!!

Can't believe we reached this goal, you people are absolutley amazing!
As planned, I'll donate 30% of your donations to a different cause every month.

 I asked you for ideas and you came up with some amazing organisations and shelters.

Therefore I'd like to start with Nowzad dogs (https://www.nowzad.com/) for this month.
They rescue animals from Afganistan and do lots of education about pet care in the...

Another Fan-Tattoo

Damn, this really looks amazing! Needed to share with you guys :)

Tell me where the 30% of my patreon income should go!

Because I am so close to reach the 500 per month, I already start collecting shelters and organisations I could give the 30% to. I want to give this money to a different facility every month. I am making a list, if you know of special animal-related-causes that are dear to you please put them in the comments. 

Thank you so much! 

100 PATRONS

I just want to say wow, when I set up this account I never expected to reach so many supporters. You people are amazing. I am so close to my first "GOAL", starting the hardcover book of the comic collection, and donating money to animal shelters. I am so happy, you people made this possible! I can't thank you enough!

Finalized Illustration

 Had to draw something that wouldn't make me cry.
Anyway, the sketch was way more minimalistic, but again I lost myself in colors and details. Hope you like it anyway :)
