So we're playing around with colors for our next issue's cover reveal and I don't mind sharing this because we have utterly abandoned it.

Why? WELL....

Oh and the scarf! Matt designed a silk scarf inspired by Lyss’s cover too. And maybe we’ll get ~endpapers with a related illustration too. The scarf is available as an add on.

And then for some swag to go with paperbacks, @mspencerdraws.bsky.social has illustrated paper dolls of our butch cover babe.

I’m obsessed with these sorts of artist inspired by artist moments (kinda like Dante Luiz doing a comic inspired by Matt’s cover for SHATTER THE SUN)

The cover for WHAT ELEGANT STARS was illustrated by @lyssmenold.bsky.social who also did the rad cover for EMBODIED EXEGESIS: TRANSFEMININE CYBERPUNK FUTURES (edited by AnnLeBlanc).

Please hire Lyss, they are great.

Please share this with your cool rich gay aunt and ask them to back at the Patron level. 😘

I'd especially love to commission some novelettes in chapbook form.

(reposts appreciated, need to reach the maximum number of people with cool rich gay aunts)

This is bound to be another fantastic anthology from Neon Hemlock, and it went live on KS today! Check it out!

And I'm not *just* saying that because I get to do interior illustrations and (hopefully🤞) some very cool stretch goal stuff 👀.

For our queer history zine, We've Always Been Here, Viktor Aleksander ( @nooskadraws.bsky.social ) is bringing us to a gentlemen's smoking club during the Victorian era, where two men will be subtly sharing signs of their affection.
