Original #AntiCapitalistLoveNotes.
You are worth so much more than your productivity.
Letterpress print from years ago, reprinted earlier this year. Still one of my favorites that I’ve ever made. 🦋🦋🦋

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.

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/

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

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. ❤️🥖🌹

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!

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.

Last summer, Maine Crafts Association gave me the opportunity to work w/Sturdy Production to make a short video about my letterpress printing work. Here it is: a love letter to letterpress & the power of political print. Lmk what you think. See more at radicalemprints.com or wholesaleradical.com. 🥖🌹

I’m going to be back in Maine the weekend of 2/7 & will be shipping, so if you want to get an order in (including wholesale), be sure to place one between now & 2/6!

More importantly, grateful to all of you who work on building alternatives to the systems that brutalize our folks. Keep going. 💕

Hi all - I thought this letterpress print would be a good place to start on this new platform: A Grounding of Revolutionary Reminders. Keep going. 🌹 Sending you love & solidarity - Nicole #radicalemprints
