Emilie shows first test copy of the book!

My publisher uploaded a very long video today featuring several books. I have put together a short summary for you, in which only Loving Reaper is shown. You can see how big and thick it is, the gold elements come out very nicely.

They are discussing if the books can be shipped as early as October, which would be great because Loving Reaper will be 2 years old in October :)

Pre-order Updates and Patreon-discount

Hello everyone!
First of all, sorry that it's a bit quiet here right now, there's just so much to plan for the upcoming book pre-orders next Sunday! 

But most important: PATRONS get a discount code for 10% off !!!! I will post the code here in time.

Then; there will be goodies for early pre-order.  Either an ex-libris, stickers, a framed print and even...

#sharkweek

I had uploaded a Patreon-exclusive shark comic back in the day, today I publicly posted a similar comic with the same issue. I mean it's sharkweek after all.

I would like to show you this one anyway, of course :)

Reminder for all the new patrons! :)

Since many new patrons have joined in the meantime, I would like to point out again that you as patrons always have the opportunity to order a signed (if you want) comic book. Getting a signed copy isn't possible through normal bookstores or Amazon. This comic book was my first publication ever, it contains only my first two stories (Good boy and black cats) but the proceeds went to animal shel...

So here we go, the book announcement!

You already got all the important info a few days ago, today I was finally allowed to officially present the cover on social media.

Just in case you haven't seen it yet, this was my announcement comic :) 

Phew, creating that book was such a ride lol. I'm really grateful that I can discuss designs, drafts and ideas with you, that gives me real courage and confidence that it will...

Final cover + some details

We have finalized the cover! Thank you for being there from the first sketch to the final result and for all your honest thoughts and suggestions :) YOU were an essential part of it's creation!

Unfortunately I couldn't leave the little cat on the back, as you can see the barcode and publishers information take too much space.
Instead I put Life's symbol there, which she wears on her r...

Please don't hate me, but here's another draft...

When I showed you the last two cover designs, the opinions were very mixed. Both sides had good arguments for or against the particular design.

Then I had a mental breakdown and didn't know what I wanted anymore.

That's why I spent the last 6 hours sitting down again and making a third draft. 

I have such incredibly high expectations of myself for this book, the cover sho...

New Comic

I've  had this story in my head for a while. Please make sure your pet is  always in a safe environment, be it in the freezing cold winter or  during a very hot summer. Keep them safe <3

Maybe this is just the wrong time of year for this comic, but I didn't want to put the idea off that long. Worst case scenario, I'll just forget about it. 

For the first tim...

Sequel to the Hamster story (Patreon exclusive)

Some were eager to read a sequel to the Hamster comic. I also found that the ending was open to interpretation. 

You can read the beginning here:

I gave the boy an older adopted brother who is clearly more mature and responsible.  2021-06-05 15:17:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Uuurgh - COVER AGAIN!

I know we've already discussed the cover and there was a pretty clear favorite. But now I had a new idea that I think is more balanced and could better incorporate the planned gold elements.
But you guys get to have another say, new or old?

(These are just rough drafts, the finished book cover will be painstakingly designed down to the last detail!)

A few sneak peeks of the upcoming book!

Hello everyone,

as you already know, I am working fulltime on a hardcover book that will be a collection of my works, including some unpublished stories. Today I can finally officially announce a few details. The book will be available in English and French, shipping worldwide. Pre-orders will be available in December, but you'll get more details regarding that later. Shipping is expected...

Celebrate Peace

Today is the International day of living in together in peace 😊  I just love drawing these two so much.
I  know I seem a little inactive right now, but I'm preparing something  great for you and working very hard on it every day. Thank you for your  patience ❤ 

New Mobile Backgrounds

Hey everyone, some of you have asked for new mobile backgrounds, so I made a few new ones.
There are three sizes available:

1080x1920
1080x2160
1080x2280 (good for iphone)

These sizes work for most smartphones :) If you have trouble with the sizes or motives, just let me know, I can always make more or change them.

You can download them here:

New Comic!

This is a bit of a test. Did I make you smile for once? :')

Donation struggle (Update)

Hello everyone,

I’m facing some problems regarding the donations, as you know, the donations are unfortunately on pause right now. 

First of all, I’m very proud and grateful that we could make these big donations every single month for about a year. Many organisations and shelters were very sweet about them and relied heavily on donations, especially during covid and lockdo...

Void Puppy - new comic

You may remember that I proposed this issue in the pitch (from an earlier post), but then I thought the issue might be too important to cover exclusively in a book. However, I will approach a similar story with a cat for the book. I hope that's okay. I was really happy to finally draw Zack again for this comic :)

[Sequel to "Little Fish"]

A new pet to "replace" the old one can be a ...

Finding a book cover (rough sketches)

As I have shared with you before, I'm working with a publisher right now on a hardcover edition that includes all the stories from 2019 and 2020, plus some unpublished ones. So I'm currently sketching out possible book covers. I'm not sure yet if I want something fully illustrated or something minimalist? I really like gold elements on book covers, but they have to be used well or it will look ...

New Comic

Hey everyone, new comic is up! There'll be an Patreon-Exclusive ending later this week, since the ending here is quite an "open" one.

Also thank you for all the awesome name suggestion! I loved them all! Was wondering which name a 10 year old would have picked, so I went with "Mr. Nibbles" :)
Hope you like it <3

Sneak Peek! Help me name this guy :)

Still working on the next comic, this little guy still needs a name :)
Any suggestions? It's a Hamster 🐹

Call for suggestions :)

Hello everyone, 

Greeaaat News! I finally have my own literary agent! Which is absolutely awesome, and above all means I can head for bigger book releases, especially in the American/international area. 

Besides the Collectors Edition I already told you about, we're currently working on a pitch for a second book. This book will deal with the dynamics between Life and Death...

Donation update

I thought you might like to see the reation of last month's donation recipient (They sent it last month, I just happened to find it in the spam folder today - oops) . I'm glad some of you donated extra too, that's so great!

Very few shelter contact me after a donation (I don't expect them to) but when they do I am so happy! :) 

New Comic "Price"

People have asked for more interactions between Life and Death.  
Admittedly, the comic felt very experimental, I don't usually use this much color. I hope I didn't overdo it, but it was really fun to draw :)
Next comic will deal with more serious issues again, I just needed a break for something uplifting.

Donation Delay

Hello everyone, Unfortunately, I have to postpone the next donation a bit due to personal issues. Times are very hard right now, but I will let you know more details in a couple days. I hope for your understanding.

Please stay safe <3

Edit: Everyone is so sweet, I was so scared to post this, but you are really lovely understanding people. Thank you, I really love you 💜
