Per Tommy Arnold's email list, there is going to be a drop of prints of his Murderbot artwork this coming Friday (May 16, 2025). You can sign up to his mailing list on his website to be notified when the orders go live.
Tommy Arnold created the covers and insert illustrations for Subterranean Press' special editions of The Murderbot Diaries and Network Effect. Additionally, he recently has been involved with the Apple TV show as a costume designer, notably for the SecUnit armor.
I haven't seen anyone else post about this in the tag or in any communities yet, but every once in a while I see folks bummed about missing his last drop when Network Effect first released. He only does limited releases, so this is your chance if the art strike's your fancy!

Hey hey everybody!
We are one week out from the premiere of Murderbot on Apple TV+, and I have to admit: I'm getting pretty excited. It was such a privilege to be asked to help bring this show to life visually, and I've been hankering to see what all our effort would come to. So many skilled and wonderful people put their hearts into this!
In celebration, a new timed edition featuring 5 pieces from Subterranean Press' The Murderbot Diaries and Network Effect will be available for 72 hours (throughout release weekend). The following prints will be available from 3:00 pm EST on May 16th, until 3:00 pm EST on May 19th:
Artificial Condition - 2nd. Ed: 12x17 - $67 Rogue Protocol - 2nd. Ed: 12x17 - $67 The Murderbot Diaries, Omnibus Cover - 2nd. Ed: 12x17 - $69, and 8x11 - $39 Three Climbs The Plateau - 1st. Ed: 12x17 - $69 Network Effect, Endpapers - 1st. Ed: 12x15 - $67
All 1st. Edition prints will be signed in Gold, and 2nd. Edition prints (those that've been available once before) will be signed in Silver.
'Til next week (some joke about pinging you)!

Hmmmm, I think maybe the photog said “we need to make sure that boot isn’t hurting you - show us your left tit!” And Alex (as he would) hid that nipple & said with just a bit of side eye, “let’s meet later for that…”
And thus, it begins.
Next? @differentcatcat
You once made a promise to yourself: if you ever met a time traveler, it wouldn't be a big deal. You’d tell them the date, the most important political conflict, a recent technology, and send them on their way. You now encounter a time traveler nearly every week.
