About

I make slow art — small, illustrated works meant to circulate, be shared, and lived through all of time and space.

Geek+Tea is my independent art and tea studio, where I create illustrated postcards and art, and blend teas with more personality than strictly necessary. I make small ritual objects inspired by retro science fiction, botanical illustration, and everyday magic. My background in plant biology and science communication shapes the way I think about art — as something that’s shared, seasonal, and prone to wandering off.

My illustrations draw from mid-century science fiction, vintage botanical imagery, and the graphic language of printmaking. I’m interested in tactile, analog objects — things designed to be handled, used, and temporarily lost, before reappearing exactly where you already checked.

I love postcards because they’re free from rules. You can frame them, send them to a friend, use them as a bookmark or evidence that time is not linear. They’re art that moves — usually by post, sometimes by cat.

Geek+Tea is created by Alyson Prokop, an artist, botanist and educator working at the intersection of illustration, plants, and everyday ritual.
