Nicole (she/her) Poet | Letterpress Printer | Art Worker Letterpress printing to power the revolution: https://bio.site/radicalemprints Original #AntiCapitalistLoveNotes. You are worth so much more than your productivity.
Forgot to thank @jeremyboggs.net for inspiring printing tarot ideas, & @quinnanya.me for sharing @radicalemprints.bsky.social's gorgeous "Printers' Tarot" (art uses Garamond font) w/me as inspiration for my residency:
Letterpress print from years ago, reprinted earlier this year. Still one of my favorites that I’ve ever made. 🦋🦋🦋
So delighted to get to work with you on this, @prisonculture.bsky.social! Thanks for asking!
The winter holidays are a hard time for folks holding grief, no matter whether the grief is anticipatory or well-worn or acute & new. The Big Dipper points the way to the North Star - may we all have beloveds who can guide us home even from the deepest darkness. ✨✨✨ These are in my online shop.
I’m so glad!!

Whoa! Seems like this little #AntiCapitalistLoveNote struck a chord again - glad y'all are feeling seen. I am too - I shared it on a rough day & it's been sweet to watch it travel. If you want it in your home or to keep it on your person: radicalemprints.com | bonfire.com/store/radicalemprints/
Now this message is available as a shirt, a letterpress print, & a postcard set of my original sequins-and-text riso print, now union-printed on 100% recycled cardstock. Get it get it: radicalemprints.com
I first made this letterpress print in 2013 in a tiny apartment in Maine. It got meme-ified in 2015, & as I watch my artist-comrades struggle this season, it seemed like a good time to bring it back around. Friends, you are worth SO much more than your productivity.🌹 #AnticapitalistLoveNotes

Did an interview with @caw-shinythings.bsky.social about making art under empire - let me know what you think!
We need both. I don't want hope in place of rage - I want hope alongside rage. I want the spark and flash to become a steady flame that can light our way out of this catastrophe of horrors. Rage. Organize. Hope. Repeat. (Just restocked this print: radicalemprints.com & wholesaleradical.com)
Three NEW letterpress printed cards from my Lead & Roses series of cards for organizers: an homage to Ella Baker’s concept of spade work, one to welcome a new comrade into your organizing circles, & one about the importance of direct action as a tactic. Love & solidarity - keep going. ❤️🥖🌹

So thrilled to have this design go out with your current catalog, @akpress.org comrades! 🩷🥖🌹
This beautiful design by @radicalemprints.bsky.social!
It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.
It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.
Love to see it. 💜
The debt, deportation, and death bill has passed. Congress further decimates care work to fund violence work.
Vital services eviscerated and ICE becomes the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency ever known. It hasn’t been sold this way, but it’s a massive public jobs program for fascists.
Really looking forward to meeting folks & seeing friends at @socialismconference.org this weekend. I’ll be vending letterpress prints & cards - including this new version of my old print honoring Ella Baker’s concept of “spade work” as a critical movement-building practice. See you there!
happy pride/queer rage month. i letterpress printed us a banner. xoxo
Brilliant words from @sarahljaffe.bsky.social, letterpress printed by me (and made into a banner for Mardi Gras day in March.) I keep coming back to this sentiment, so I thought maybe you would too. Prints are now available at radicalemprints.com.
thank you!! hope we get to meet in person someday!
thank you!
