As many of you have noticed, there was a lot of serious craziness in my life this year, which is why my average output was slightly lower than in 2020-2022.

Now is the question: Should there still be a physical 2023 yearbook that I sign and send out by post? Would you buy it? The price would probably be around 150 euros, as with the previous Yearbooks, but I would probably offer a discount of around 50 euros for all patrons, so you could buy it for 99 euros. It would contain all the drawings and sketches from 2023, plus all the texts, stories and insights from me personally.

The Yearbooks cost a lot of work and, considering the small number of copies, they hardly make any profit for me. But if you want one, I need to know that and dedicate myself to it soon so that it can go into production.

What do you think?

As all of last year's artworks will disappear from Patreon over time as usual, the Yearbooks are the perfect way to archive all of my drawings and keep them in a physical form to treasure forever.

But we'd need to get to a print run of 30 in any case to make producing it possible.

Hello — Is it possible to purchase yearbooks from prior years? I am a recent backer and am really enjoying your work so wanted to ask. Thank you!

Whilst I would purchase a physical book if it becomes available. If the goal is not reached and you decide to not produce one this year, would you still produce a digital version? Or is it the case of if there is not sufficient interest then you will skip this one altogether?

Unfortunately not. The process of making it is the thing that gets in the way. Like I said, it's not very profitable, but I'd still do it if there's enough interest for a printed version, because at least then I'm not making a loss when I factor in the time it takes to acutally layout the whole thing.
