Hey fellow Europeans! If you want to get my book Faraway Dreaming as well as the expanded edition of Woodlands, I recommend getting them from the upcoming Woodlands Kickstarter. There will be a reward bundle that includes both of the hardcover art books.

International shipping from USA to Europe should be a bit more affordable via the upcoming Kickstarter campaign, compared to the the normal website orders!

The Kickstarter campaign ships worldwide. It launches 4th of August and will end in the beginning of September. You can sign up to be notified so you won't miss it.

Kickstarter news: First bonus reward revealed! 🦄

All Woodlands backers will get access to an exclusive 15-minute art process video, where I show how I created my illustration "The Unicorn", step by step, and share my thoughts on my art tools and creative methods. If you want a sneak peek of this video, you can watch the trailer here.

Some questions and answers about the art media that I've used for my art projects lately: Woodlands, 2027 Calendar, and Faraway Dreaming.

I've also written a couple posts about my illustration process over at the Woodlands Kickstarter.

This is one of the new pieces I made for my book Woodlands. It will launch on Kickstarter in early August. You can already follow the Woodlands project on Kickstarter and get notified on launch. ♥

Woodlands Kickstarter has over 1000 followers, hooray! Many thanks to everyone who followed and shared the campaign so far. ❤️

I just posted another behind-the-scenes update where I talk about the mixed media I used for the 2027 Calendar illustrations, with some extra footage of my art process.

This is one of the new illustrations I made for the expanded edition of my art book Woodlands. The book will launch on Kickstarter in August!

These are illustrations from my 2027 Calendar.

I recommend getting this wall calendar from the upcoming Kickstarter campaign together with my art book Woodlands. It is now official that you'll be able to choose a calendar layout with either Monday-starting weeks or Sunday-starting weeks. ❤️ Both this calendar and my book are shipped from the USA. The Kickstarter campaign will offer a bit better international shipping options (more affordable shipping to Europe, for example) compared to regular website orders. Remember to click "Notify me on launch" on the Woodlands Kickstarter page!

Woodlands Kickstarter: shipping info

An expanded 2026 edition of my art book Woodlands will launch in August, via a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Here're some answers to common shipping related questions:

Yes, international shipping will be available within the Kickstarter campaign.

As the main reward you'll receive a hardcover copy of my Woodlands expanded edition art book. Optionally, you'll be able to choose a bundle with the book and my 2027 Calendar, or both of my art books (Woodlands + Faraway Dreaming) – or all three items, if you like. Your choice.

My art books and calendars are published by Atthis Arts (Detroit, Michigan) and printed in the USA. Atthis Arts is also in charge of shipping the Kickstarter rewards, as well as website sales afterwards. We also did my last book project (Faraway Dreaming) together on Kickstarter, and it was a huge success. Atthis Arts handled the printing and shipping processes super smoothly and quickly. They have lots of experience with running crowdfunding campaigns and fulfilment.

The Kickstarter campaign will actually provide better shipping options for international buyers, compared if you wait and order from the regular web store (USA) afterwards. International shipping will be a bit more budget friendly via the campaign.

US orders will of course be affordable either way, because my hardcover books and calendars ship from the US.

Confirmed details on shipping will be available once the Kickstarter campaign launches! You'll be able to check everything from the campaign page before making a pledge.

Joining the campaign is also possible without having any of the physical rewards shipped: There will be a $1 (or pay what you can) reward available, which will allow access to all the digital downloads. It will include some of the book's contents in digital format, as well as several campaign-exclusive bonus rewards created by yours truly. The more the campaign grows, the more digital surprises we'll be able to unlock. 😊
