Winona Nelson

Jamie is dead. On the plus side, she’s haunting her rock idol Roger Vitt, front man of the short-lived punk-goth band Cut Flowers. He's aging and alcoholic now, but she can possess him and see his memories and dreams. She can fix him – she can *be* him… if his other ghosts don’t get in the way.

Hey y'all - I'm alive I swear! Been a busy bunch of months, but Chapter 3 of Cut Flowers is coming along. I previewed this page in progress on Muddy Colors, check it out here: www.muddycolors.com/2026/04/cut-... #cutflowers #webcomic #punk #horror #cutflowerscomic

I was supremely honored by @badking.bsky.social 's willingness to make an alternate cover for Chapter 1 of my comic Cut Flowers. I left everything up to him and, to my delight, he chose to do a romantic portrait of Hector ❤️

"Hector's Kiss" - a fun variant cover I made for Cut Flowers #1 - really dug @winonanelson.com Winona Nelson's comic when I read it at Illuxcon and jumped at the chance to make something. Had a blast cutting out all those flowers :)

I wrote about my brother Simon in my article for Muddy Colors today. Years ago I wanted to paint an Ojibwe trickster/shapeshifter/folk hero named Nanaboozhoo. My brother was the most Nanaboozhoo-like person I have ever known, and I didn't have to ask him to pose. I couldn't get him to *stop.* 😂

Anyone around Dallas in need of signatures on some Magic cards? I'll be there next weekend, Feb 7-8, with my husband, fellow Magic artist Anthony Palumbo, pens and paints at the ready!

My big brother Simon Nelson passed away a couple of weeks ago. His memorial will be held at the Duluth Public Library Green Room on January 21, 2026, 2-5pm. I would not be who I am without him, and I miss him beyond words.

Our book got a mention in the Minneapolis Star Tribune ☺️

Check it out, I was interviewed on the radio about the illustrations for "All The Stars In The Sky"!

I met some lovely people and had wonderful conversations at the book launch! Some were were buying two so they can give one to a child or a school, and keep another for themselves - flattering and so sweet! @simonkids.bsky.social @artcoulson.com @jacquilipton.bsky.social

The rainbow stripes were so fun to paint 🥰

For this whole dream sequence I did the colors in acrylic paint on transparent Duralar. I wanted imperfection and texture and this method turned out to be a ton of fun!!! 🤘🏼

This is how I do those dream/nightmare borders - graphite power mixed with acrylic matte medium and water, on frosted Duralar over printouts of the pages.
