Yesterday, I reached a major milestone as I finished the work on the Sandra and Woo: 10 Years anthology and the art book The Art of Sandra and Woo. Both books are now ready to be printed by Ka-Blam.com for our Kickstarter supporters in the United States. A few minor technical adjustments will be necessary for the international versions that will be printed by Wir-machen-Druck.de.
Powree and Fredy Siloy, a frequent winner of our artwork contests, colored 14 (2 by Powree, 12 by Fredy) black-and-white drawings for The Art of Sandra and Woo. They did a marvellous job and the art book turned out even better because of it. I’m very proud of both books. I don’t think they could have been done any better. So don’t miss this unique chance to get them in our ongoing Kickstarter campaign!

It’s time! Time for the top 12 of the Gaia artwork contest 2018!
The submissions are ordered from place #12 to #1. As you can see, we’ve received an amazing selection of great art this year again. I was a bit worried if we’ll receive enough worthy entries for a contest limited to just Gaia, but the quality of the top entries was once again exceptional and surpassed my expectations! Please show your support by visiting the artists’ websites and/or by writing a comment in the comment section of this blog post!

Our yearly Gaia artwork contest ended on Sunday. Today, I’m showing you all the submissions that didn’t make it into the top 12. There are some very nice pieces of artwork among them, so you should definitely check them out as well. In a couple of days, I will post the top 10!
First, let’s start with the unplaced submissions in alphabetical order, then let’s continue with the submissions placed between #13 and #20. Show your support by visiting the artists’ websites and/or writing a comment in the comment section of this blog post!
To our gold and diamond patrons: As usual, I will later offer a convenient download archive containing all submissions in their original size.

I’m planning a long trip to Japan next year in March or April together with my parents. Do you have any tips about things that we should not miss to see? I’m particularly interested in tips for the following regions:
- Ryukyu Islands / Okinawa
- Kyushu
- Shikoku
- Kyoto area
- Tokyo area
