It means so much to me when people purchase and share my work 😭😭😭

Zine mail! Zine mail! Thanks @erikarier.bsky.social for these lovely works of art.

I’m so excited about this new weekend intensive I’ll be leading in my studio in Portland, Oregon. Over this weekend class I’ll walk students through the process of creating handmade comics and zines. I’ve always wanted to do an intensive, a camp for grown-ups. www.erikarier.com/shop/story-c...

2027 calendar preorders are now open in my shop! Save $5 and free shipping when you preorder. www.erikarier.com/shop/2027-ca...

Watch my silly video and then buy my silly ceramics and zines. 30% off with code DOLDRUMS to help spare me and my business from the mistakes of greedy men. www.erikarier.com

Any Oregon construction lawyers in the room excited to be paid in ceramics? I know it’s a long shot but I’m at the end of my rope here.

MY COMIC WAS JUST NOMINATED FOR AN IGNATZ AWARD!!!!!!!!! You could buy of this comic which I cut by hand for every single copy here: www.erikarier.com/shop/beholden

Omg I feel this every time I read an article about Trump.

Again, as an atheist, I find it extremely annoying to have my non-belief in the antichrist tested in this way

My party is canceled tomorrow: the contractors who were supposed to check for asbestos *before * they opened our walls checked *after*. Hilarity has not ensued.

Ok, it’s that time again, you know the time when you all go outside but I hate going outside so I’m not at any of those fun summer markets you all love so I try to entice you to look at your screen for a few minutes in order to snag a good deal on some ceramics and comics. www.erikarier.com

As an alternative comics creator this is also true of comics/zine/art book scenes as well. Men rarely stop to look at my books at events because it’s just “girl stuff”.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

More of today's Mall Rats market @moviemadness.org today noon-4pm @erikarier.bsky.social @leifjlee.bsky.social @krisevans.bsky.social MarenSalomon.com

My fall class schedule is moving fast! 1 class is sold out & others are down to one spot. My goal w/teaching is to keep things fresh so I’m working on designing a 2 year class cycle. I’m so excited to spend time w/you in my studio making so many ceramic goodies. www.erikarier.com?category=Cla...

Sat outside in the hot sun this morning gold lustering a bunch of ring dishes to bring to @iconconference.bsky.social Roadshow on Thursday in Baltimore. The lamp is not coming along for the trip but did help to fill up my kiln.

If you’ve been wanting to take a class w/me but not in Portland this could be your chance. Take a vacation at @souwesterlodge.bsky.social in October & take a 2 day ceramic workshop w/me just down the road. Sounds like probably a perfect autumn getaway. ilwacoartworks.kilnfire.com/classes/visi...

In a summer of tight turnarounds, I’ve finished making work to bring to ICON & now I’m trying to get 12 ceramic bottles in the kiln by the end of Monday so they’re ready to glaze as soon as I get back for a cool convenience store themed show I’m part of here in Portland.Here’s my life 7 days a week:

My studio is so busy today

A new batch of ceramics has been added to my shop including some monstrous ladies and a very rude soup bowl. www.erikarier.com?category=Cer...

If you’re in Portland, Oregon this Friday swing by @thepurpledoorpdx.bsky.social for a new group show, Nostalgia Potluck. I’m bringing all of the darkness of childhood to a show that will mostly be super fun I’m sure. Take a peek at my piece, The Nothing.

I love making ceramic libraries filled w/ceramic books. Coming up w/the book titles is my favorite part. In this set: How to Tell When You are the Problem, Stories You Don’t Want to Hear but Need to Listen To, Stop Licking Boots, & Don’t Tread on that Guy Because He’ll Get the Sads. bit.ly/4ydMOMr

In 10 days I’m doing my first public speaking in front of a very large group of people at a conference. To hype myself up I’ve been making videos where I talk at a camera which is not comfortable for me but is good practice. Here’s a video of me encouraging you to go do something you suck at too

I’ve started adding my new classes for fall in my Portland, OR studio! Every class this fall is new because I’m very ✨✨ extra ✨✨✨. I still have a few more to add but here is the line up so far: www.erikarier.com?category=Cla...

Erika Rier

Free shipping over orders of $50, US only.

Hey friends! I’m back after a little break for my mental health from the endless nightmare that is the world and I made a whole art show about it. If you find yourself in Corvallis, OR check out my show, Veruca’s Daughters, at The Arts Center through July 25th. theartscenter.net/erika-rier-v...

I’m such a huge fan of Erika Rier’s work. She does so much narrative & poetic work with the interplay of book forms and drawing and words

Erika Rier@erikarier.bsky.social · 5mo ago

My two new books are now on my site. Two different sides of the coin that is my brain. One, If She Was Beholden Could She Ever Be The Beholder?, is a primal scream against misogyny. The other, True Facts About Butts, is ladies explaining how to not be a tight ass www.erikarier.com?category=Art...

Erika Rier is a freakin' genius. This unconventional hall of mirrors art / graphic novel / physically intricate hybrid stuff is fantastic. Again, from going to the Portland Indie Book & Art Fair today with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social www.erikarier.com

Come play along at Eve’s House & create your own original sin. There’s lots of fun to be had w/angels, books of knowledge, & a kitty. Share a tasty snack of apples w/best friend, Snake. Eve’s Playset is so much fun, you’ll feel like you’re in Eden. Adam not included www.erikarier.com/shop/eves-ho...

Um, and didn’t the Boston Red Sox win the World Series for the first time in a million years in 2004, the year Bush beat Massachusetts Senator John Kerry? I think this person is really onto something here….

Hilary lost when the Cubs won the World series. Kamala lost when the Dodgers won the World Series. New rule, if your state's team has a possibility of winning the World Series, do not run for president.

This photo from a BBC article about Northern Ireland pretty much sums up the dystopian feeling of this present moment www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wow, this article is not at all alarming. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Anthropic says the world should have option to ‘pause’ on AI

US firm says it will convene policymakers for discussion of dangers, in post detailing progress of its Claude model

I love when I come on here after not being on for awhile and immediately see an AI generated art post with a bazillion likes while real art has like 4 likes. Can you folks please stop lapping up AI slop?
