Squeaking in just under the wire, we have some fan art to close out 2024. Featuring inspiration from @travisbaldree and @tkingfisher.

Preview image shows a pastel on black stylized menu with the lines still visible.

It's New Year's Eve, it's Product Release Tuesday, it's "get things listed online before the end of the year so they are Hugo Eligible" day!

For your delectation, we have an art print AND a sticker to see out 2024. Join us in extending a hearty dose of profanity to LLMs.

We are hoping that as 2025 progresses you will see more of us.

It’s a Wednesday blog post!

Several announcements are contained herein, much of them pertaining to shipping and its costs.

Consider this our end of year wrap up, and we’ll see you in 2023!

A project that’s been in the works for over 2 years is finally live and out in the world!

We have been so excited to collaborate with @seananmcguire on an art print inspired by her novel Middlegame. Today we release this alchemical work into the wild and hope that you find your improbable road to walk to your Impossible City.

Note: if you sign up for the Tor.com mailing list this week, you can get a free copy of Middlegame in the DRM free e-format of your choice!

Around here, it’s not only New Year’s Eve, it’s New Sticker Day!

We’re sending 2021 out the door with a celebration of something Ariela and Terri both love - fanfic!

Proclaim your reading and writing habits with the classiest lettering and most decorative flourishes. Stick them on your fanfiction input and output devices to tell people that this is something you love and will not hide.

It’s been an eventful year!

To finish it off, we present our newest licensed print. If you’ve ever wanted to be an Intrepid Lady Adventurer, this print is for you!

We always love to work with books that feature Judaism, even Fantasy Judaism. So it was wonderful to get to design a piece around Isabella, Lady Trent of the Dragon Naturalist series. Marie Brennan’s novels spoke to us in different ways, but struck chords in both of us. We hope that you love the image of her as much as we did developing it.

This week, instead of a product launch, you get a zine launch!

We hope that you participate in and enjoy our efforts to crack access to the Hugo Awards wide open.

Ariela is home from WorldCon and recovered enough to bring you her post-con report. Terri is still on holiday, hers will come next week.

While Ariela frantically packs and ensures she has all the supplies she needs, Terri is here to bring you OUR WORLDCON SCHEDULES! We hope to see you all there.

Note: Terri is also packing, she just leaves after Ariela.

Not only is Ariela moving house next week, we’re coming up on the mail in deadline for our three summer art shows (including WorldCon in Dublin and San Diego Comic Con!!!!!). This is what that looks like.

[Image shows 3 framed originals, 4 laminated prints, 40 bagged stickers, 69 matted prints all stacked on top of Ariela’s flat file]

In this week’s blog post, we announce a shipping hiatus due to Ariela moving house.

For today’s blog post, Terri talks about the importance of ensuring that you have permission from the creators of an IP before you use it in something you intend to sell (and when it’s OK not to).

New art print - Tech Serenity 2.0! 

When copperplate hand and a BSOD aren’t enough to keep you from taking a hammer to your severs, old school CRT green on black and a unispace font just might. 

[Image shows green text on a black background. The text is a modified version of the Serenity Prayer]

Where in the world is Geek Calligraphy? This weekend our art will be at Balticon and BayCon, while Ariela will be attending WisCon accompanied by stickers and the ability to accept money for them.

Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend!

Let the valorous woman in your life know how Wonderful you find her!

Our first product release since our nomination as Hugo Finalists.

What better product for a geeky Jewish art business to release than a synthesis of Wonder Woman and אשת חיל?

A celebration of the Hebrew art tradition of micrography, feminism in all its myriad forms, women in all their forms, and comics. 

[first image shows the DC comics Wonder Woman logo rendered in Hebrew calligraphy. second is the same, but showcasing the gold text option]

We've been sitting on this news for the last two weeks and we're so excited to share it with all of you.

We were nominated for a Hugo Award!

While Ariela is the name on the ballot, it would be unfair to neglect the role that Terri plays in not just the business side but also the creative aspects of what we do. So this is an honor and a delight for both of us.

Thank you all for nominating us and believing so hard in our work that we get to be in the room where it all happens this summer.

See you in Dublin!

Now that Purim is over, Passover is on its way...

[Image has the text "We are the House of Judah and our words are "Pesach is Coming." There is a round matzah on a field of tinfoil and the words "Pesach is Coming" is in the Game of Thrones font.]
