Cover real!! My next book (and first prose novel!) SCARLET MORNING is coming to you September 23 from HarperCollins! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈπŸ©ΈπŸŒ…βš”οΈ people.com/nimona-creat...

It begins...

I'm already so sick of the whining about "the tolerant left." What about the tolerant left?? So much for the tolerant left!! I never ever promised anyone tolerance, not even of my own friends and loved ones. I'm a born hater.

Running a Valentine's Day sale over at the shop. πŸ’ž πŸ’€ ✨ Fine prints, originals, and commissions included πŸ“¬ All originals are the OG ink-on-paper, all in need of loving homes. 🏑 #artsale #valentinesday #traditionalart #commissionsopen

The schemes, they are a schemin'

Something that really resonated with me as a kid and shaped my worldview was Looney Tunes cartoons. The way they mocked and fought the axis powers, corporate greed, and pretention served as a real demystifying and defiance of authority, and challenge to power. I loved them for that. So I made these!

The speed and unpredictability with which my body goes from being useless on the couch to having completed 7 chores and projects in 3.5 hours... Horrifying. Distressing. There is whiplash.

Just Sunday night things

The perrenial struggle of choosing how to make the best use of your time before you have to go back to work.

It's ALWAYS a good time to thank @yamcans.bsky.social for our logo. This neon corgi (who is inspired by but extremely legally distinct from Cowboy Bebop's Ein) is STILL undefeated! And yes, you can get it on a t-shirt.

Sometimes you need to step back and enjoy the simple things in life... Like you and a partner or friend repeatedly saying "buca di beppo" to each other as quickly as possible

Feeling excited but also very organized to have squared away: C2E2 badges, hotel reservation, Ventra card, Amtrak tickets... Now I can just focus on finishing cosplays πŸ˜…

@bebopbeat.bsky.social, sometimes you gotta do a little impulse buy

Now that I've finished Final Fantasy IV, I'm pausing my journey through that series to play my latest purchase--Super Metroid. I watched my cousin play this for hours one Christmas, but never got around to it. We love a powerful woman.

Nothing quite like dreaming about being stabbed to make sure you're wide awake in the morning. Happy Friday, everyone.

HAPPY NEW YEAR πŸ₯³πŸΎ

I'm having company tomorrow, and I just packed away a sewing WIP that has been sitting, cut but barely started, in my dining room for nearly a year. It's both the largest single piece I've ever attempted as well as my first commercial pattern. I'm intimidated by it, yet somehow still excited. 🀷

Happy solstice. Today dawns the beginning of a new summer. But first, we must shelter it in its youth, teaching it of warmth and light until the snows have passed.

A nice little snowfall before Christmas. Be safe. Be cozy.
