I'm listening to a podcast episode about Svalbard, and even now, years on, my first association with Svalbard is 'armored bears'

Realized it's time for a new pinned post! I'm Suzanne, I've been with the NSG visual team since 2023 and am the creative lead for our next set. Our latest set is Vantage Point, released earlier this year nullsignal.games/blog/vantage... At this point I mostly post about books, art, and Netrunner

After taking care of sick family members the past few days (my two kids had colds and my husband had the flu), it's nice to have time to edit my manuscript! This is the second round of edits. After this, I'll probably get started on the next one. Already have an idea for it

This is not a joke. Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction will be an ongoing series! And we’re open to submissions for the second volume starting today: soniasulaiman.com/thyme-travel...

The U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce has advanced H.R. 7661. Here's what you need to know about what the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" means for book bannings: #booksky

this new PR pivot of "we're using AI but only for technical things you dont understand" is really funny. why if in the areas i do understand it makes everything worse would i assume it improves anything in the areas that i don't understand

Afro Index has finally launched! It’s a visual reference library of Black hairstyles, good for artists, animators, writers, and anyone want to learn more about Black hair! Check it out at afroindex.org 💛✨ #digitalart

It's amazing how the Louisiana Department of Motor Vehicles have opened up an office in the Philippines and are using that office to tell me about a "fine" I wonder if other state DMVs have opened up other "branches" as well 🙄 /s

Eid Mubarak to all!! 🫟🌙✨

ALA is disappointed that the House Committee on Education & Workforce moved forward dangerous federal book banning legislation yesterday. HR 7661 contains vague, confusing, and overly broad language, inviting government censorship. More from ALA: www.ala.org/news/2026/03... (1/2)

New Netunner card 🌟 Sleipnir An eight-legged mechanical horse construct inspired by Norse mythology. He's massive and charging forth with the ferocity of pure chaos ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Featured in the Vantage Point set from Null Signal Games. Out now! nullsignal.games/blog/vantage...

This year isn’t good for wildflowers since the winter was so dry, but what flowers are there are beautiful as always

This is Ramad (رماد), my chatty void kitty. Her name means soot or ashes

Good afternoon Bluesky! It's my 35th birthday today (!!!) and I'd love to request likes and reposts of some of my favorite pieces 💚💚 [ #MyArt | #Illustration | #DarkArt | #ArthurianLit | #Tarot ]

Yessss my copy of Vantage Point came in!

#TransRightsReadathon begins soon. It's a decentralized event, which means you don't have to sign up or do anything in particular, you just have to love trans people and trans books. Here's what I'm doing this year 🧵 @trreadathon.bsky.social

Hey board gamers - your feelings an opinions about games are being turned into slop. There's a channel called Board Game Critique. All their videos are clearly made with AI. They fess up to this, but they claim that they write their own scripts. I cannot definitively prove that they don't, but 1/x

Wtf I just received an email like ‘Welcome to using Gemini on your iPhone’ and excuse you, I don’t want this shit. How do I turn it off? Stop trying to push AI on me!!

Thinking about submitting your portfolio for a role? Here are some thoughts from an artist turned AD 🧵:

The third of my three #Netrunner #VantagePoint cards was Sacrifice Zone Expansion. Really fun challenge to figure out this lighting set-up and design our "firefighters", here.

The second of my 3 #VantagePoint cards for #Netrunner is Touchstone, as I inadvertently become the cluttered desk guy.

I voted in my local Texas primary today! I had a look at the Republican ballot propositions (I voted Democrat primaries) and some of them are true nonsense Like why tf prohibit Sharia Law? That's not even a thing that's happening but you know what *is* happening is outsized immigrant detention

And as a reminder: through the rest of February and all of March, we'll be sending ALL of our profit (from all items) on friendsatthetable.shop to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. But the ICEBREAKER merch seen here (design by @badbucket.bsky.social) is only available during this period!

Aaand it's out! A lion's mane cyberspace jellyfish for @netrunner.nullsignal.games ! It's giving out hugs in the freshly released #VantagePoint expansion for #Netrunner.

Happy #VantagePoint release day for #Netrunner. Tungsten Tailor was the first card I ever illustrated for Netrunner. I'll be posting my other cards over the next couple days.

#VantagePoint, the newest #Netrunner expansion, is out now! Do you dare uncover what the Corps are hiding deep beneath the regolith? nullsignal.games/products/van...

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

Last year I decided to put my health first and take an extended break from paid illustration. I found I had an inexplicable compulsion to document all the birds I can see from my house in the most time consuming way possible. Some predators:

Year of the Fire Horse

Meet Hiram, the Shaper runner in VP! Keeping it old school. He has a direct narrative tie with yesterday's NBN ID, Editorial Division. Marlon Ruiz was the artist for Hiram.

Oh hey I wrote an article! Enjoy 💛

NSG’s Art Director, Conrad, wrote an article about noir inspirations for the Criminal faction in Vantage Point! Marlon Ruiz did excellent work with Vic’s visuals. 💃🕵️‍♂️ nullsignal.games/blog/vantage...

Not everyone's in the mood for romance this weekend...here's some Black horror books we recommend as an alternative 🩸

First ID of Vantage Point is out! Kira L. Nguyen was the artist for this card and its flip sides. ✨ The colors of each flip side were made to match the colors for the Mark cards that were in Borealis. (HQ-blue, R&D-green, Archives-red)

Previews for NSG’s next set, Vantage Point, start on Friday! I’m so excited, preview season is something I look forward to for every set. Can’t wait for y’all to see it 🌕✨

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog. With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

Thanks to Luke Varner for writing about #Netrunner with such warmth and enthusiasm, and congratulations to the Jnet dev team for the best online client a little indie card game could have! gamesline.net/luke-varners...

"We've seen the way other companies treat their communities in order to extract profit from them. I'm just so proud that I can work for an organization that doesn't have to resort to that.” Three members of the nonprofit behind Netrunner talk about balancing growth against an anti-corporate stance.

One of my cards for Magic's upcoming Strixhaven set got spoiled early, so I get to show it off! 🎨 Mathemagics AD: Ovidio Cartagena As you might imagine this was a real interesting assignment, with the brief full of infinity, fractals and spirals.

Several months ago I offered sexy fish man paintings in exchange for mutual aid donations(I was purchasing 500 cans of tinned fish) and they are belated, but I have done them.
