Update!
🕑 Added 2025-12-27 13:48:35 +0000 UTCHey 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, so there might be a chance they get this figured out too. In the meantime, I'm learning lots about 3rd party fulfillment because I ended up being forced to for the Print Kickstarter - this will be a good thing to know in the future. I'm done being upset about my main source of income being killed off with the stroke of a pen, so I've been using my new-found free time to work on a couple things, which brings us to the good news!
Number one: I'm finally building a (real) shop and website. And not just a shitty wordpress thing! I've started a company for it (hello German bureaucracy, this shit takes months lmao), and I'm going to set it up so that orders from the US get fulfilled from a fulfillment company in the US (so you guys can actually order), and to the rest of the world from the EU. It's a LOT of new topics for an artist (as you can imagine I don't exactly have an MBA or anything) but I've been enjoying learning so many new things. I'm also working on some cool products for it! Which brings me to:
Number two: I'm FINALLY doing the Cardboard Collection! This is long overdue, but I simply never found the time for it. Well here we go! It'll be over 50 tokens, black border, on MtG sized cardboard stock. I've done a new frame layout for it that's clean and fits the art style. I know a lot of you have been waiting for this, so I've attached a sneak preview for you :) This is going to be a Kickstarter first and then when the website goes live, it'll be available there. I'll keep you updated on both!
That’s it for now! thanks so much for your support even as I’m taking a break, and hopefully I’ll be able to get back to bringing you tokens soon :)
Best,
Johannes

I was pretty close to just saying screw it for a while but I figured it's a good opportunity to learn new skills, which is super important as an artist anyways if you want to make a living nowadays :0 Thank you so much for the support!
Johannes Voss
Thanks so much, this support means so much to me :)
Johannes Voss
Yes me too! I finished up the print data this week and it felt soo cool seeing all this art finally compiled in a single set! :D
Johannes Voss
It's been a long time coming for sure!
Johannes Voss
Thank you so much! I think the cardboard collection is going to be really cool, I'm sure you'll enjoy it :)
Johannes Voss
I think so! There'll definitely be token bundles and then depending on how complicated fulfillment turns out to be, I'll look at adding singles as well :)

Just got a package of Rabbit tokens. 🐇 😁
oooeeeooo
Will this future store have the ability to sell previous tokens? Plenty I missed that I wanted and going through eBay from resellers is ... expensive

This is good news, I love your art so I'll definitely support the kickstarter, and when the store launches I will probably find a lot of things I would want to buy to support. Thank you for your passion for your craft. Happy holidays

I'm so excited for the cardboard tokens. Congrats on the new store, I'm sure I'll find something I like once it's up

The shop is amazing news, the cardboard tokens are something I might be slightly grinning with glee about.

Great news for the new year! So stoked for you (though less stoked for my wallet, lol).
