“Smoke Signals”
Each day, our devilish rogues step out onto the throbbing streets of Los Angeles, plotting plots and looking for the right kinda trouble to get into. Glorified smoke break? Perhaps. They do like to burn things down. #artofsin #cohorts #bewarethebowler #dimeslives #newart #noai

I would go ahead with the insurance fraud, your Tesla junker is not safe. I don’t care that you didn’t know, you do now.

When do you act?
Not when they torch EPA, cut aid, delete data. Not when your feed scrolls like dystopia.
Now? No. You’ll wait.
Until black vans idle outside. Until your neighbor’s door cracks—splinter, scream, silence. You’ll lie still, praying it’s a dream.
Fascism doesn’t dream. It feeds.

I can’t pretend the shadows are all.
I see them shift, bending in the half-light,
and I remember we carry suns inside us, too—
fragile, hopeful things.
We’re never purely one or the other,
never perfect, never wholly damned.
But we stand somewhere between.

1/4 You ever wake up feeling like you’re stuck in the world’s filthiest gangbang, except you never agreed to participate? That’s how it is watching these lobotomized pinstriped hyenas plow through our rights every goddamn day.

Beneath the moon’s watchful gaze,
we cast aside old ways.
In the quiet hum of midnight,
new rituals born—soft and slight.
With whispered chants and tender might,
we craft our souls anew in the night.

I woke up today, ready for revolution

Whatever outrage you’re posting right now, that’s the point. That’s their point, to keep you here posting, overwhelmed, and ineffective. So stop, join a group, and start planning. We’ve all been having our strings pulled these past couple weeks— years. Time to cut them.

For someone who doesn't exist, I've never looked hotter. If some fascist wants to step to me, they'll learn that paperwork can't erase these fists. Funny how being legally invisible makes you feel so damn solid.

In halls of silk & powdered bone,
The serpents twine their paper throne. What honor binds when steel grows rust? When ancient oaths return to dust?
The hammer waits, still warm with rage, To break these gilded bars of cage.
Let thunder speak what whispers can't-When merchants deal in kings' descent.

“The Fall Is Free (Landing Costs Extra)” by you know who. Have you ever considered you only learn who you really are when you’re falling? The in-between moments, when the ground disappears and gravity takes over, that’s where the truth hides—raw, weightless, undeniable.

2/2 Spider waits, weaving silk and shadow. Prey veers, fate seals. Truth in the web: watch where you fly—or wonder, are you the hunter?

Rebuilding my portfolio this week (EleNichols.com), and I came across this piece. I had a lot more output this year than I give myself credit for. Side note, I am actively looking for creative work and am open for commissions. #artist #goth #dark #alt #occult #artofsin

Starting the year with this one because, let’s face it, she’s a whole mood. I’m planning to create more of these digital pieces throughout the year—leaning into bold, dark, and unapologetically extra
