Enormously proud to announce that Atsushi Kaneko's SEARCH AND DESTROY VOL 1 (based on Dororo by Osamu Tezuka) has been nominated for an Eisner Award in the manga category. We're proud to have worked with @fantagraphics.bsky.social to bring this title to North American fans.

Started writing chapter 1 of book 2 of my new series. Will be alternating with final polish of book 1 but feels so fabulous!

Wow 🤩 One of the reasons that I love microscopy is that we don't really need to tell people why it's cool and how cool it is exactly - just take a look and be amazed and no words needed. 🧪🔬

Horror manga creator Junji Ito has been nominated for the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame this year!

Now with the complete thread about this wild illustration from an even wilder 16th century fanfic!

This is a beautiful. I love lucky imaging in astronomy. It's the kind of approach that seems so simple and effective (in principle) that when you hear about it for the first time, you wonder why you hadn't already thought of it or already heard about it.

Questions: this is a solitary hydroid stalk; is the little guy at top a new top part that will become like last pic? If so, these things lose their tops & grow news ones?! Where does the one that falls of go? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 788 #AntarcticClimateConnections #MarineLife

It’s time for the RENAISSANCE SPORK! And the fascinating problems museums face when dealing with objects no one expects. 1/? Sharing for my countdown to the release “Inventing the Renaissance” coming Feb UK/Mar US https://buff.ly/4j6qkoS #HistoryPix

Hello #PortfolioDay #artists I'm looking for someone to do some B&W old fashioned 19th-century style storybook/myth illustrations for a book project. If you do anything in these styles, please send me samples!

The Ant Nebula looks more like an ant than Italy looks like a boot.

For my first video post, here is my cover of the Samsung washing machine “cycle completed” song

All the major Aesir gods are disabled so one 100% can’t do Norse fantasy without it! (Odin missing an eye, Tyr a hand, Thor chronic pain from whetstone head injury, Loki maimed mouth, Heimdall prosthetic teeth, Hodr blind, Mimir is a severed head, etc.)

Unsolicited Endorsement: my Smile Jamaica brand earbuds lasted 5 years, enduring despite accidentally going through the washer-dryer cycle twice, & I only needed new ones now due to them being run over by a lawn mower. The new ones came in plastic-free packaging, and use wood & silk, minimal plastic

Apparently the eels get beat up by the crabs and lobsters, and they have "quite a few injuries"

Saw a post here where the poster described these medieval statues of women carrying lamps as looking like women strolling with their gelato. Now I have headcanon where this is @bluejo.bsky.social and @adapalmer.bsky.social on a Florentine time-travel jaunt.

Today is the 24th anniversary of marrying @michaeldthomas.bsky.social. There have been so many adventures since then, and I can’t imagine having had them with anyone else. I love you. ❤️

One of my students sent me a tik tok comparing the invisible mycelia network of a forest to the perpetual, uncelebrated, and behind the scenes organizing that has to happen to make visible social change happen. Second day of classes and my job is basically done.

Even Tezuka Productions don't have a complete record of the works of renowned manga and animation creator Osamu Tezuka. Read about two recent finds that surprised and delighted them here: japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/mang...
