Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1

The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say, after reading Marc Spector: moon knight 1, that we’re about to receive a generational MK arc from Mission Control. I’ve never been more excited with a book before! @jedmackay.bsky.social @thewarblazer.bsky.social

tells a different story.”

beneath our skins, & the moon, so the moon.”

“The soundtrack of my anxiety is the beating of an imperfect heart. I do not know how valves or septums work, but I can close my eyes and feel the rhythm of blood, flowing back and forth, in and out, where it's wanted and where it's not.”
Hayley Igarashi Thomas, “Thanks for Your Patience”

“Sundays used to be the pinnacle of the week, of our existence really, but things have changed and slowly, with time and age, we’ve shifted and are shifting still. The Baltimore Farmers Market and Bazaar happens every Sunday, a place where we can be fed.“

“Meadow, after Dion Salvador Lloyd” is oil on board, 11” x 14”. I was struck by the beauty of this pastoral scene and used brushes to render shades of green and cream, punctuated by bales of hay or simply otherwise mysterious marks. The grasses were done with a palette knife. I am fascinated by imaginary and real journeys, and like to think of the top upper left green as a pathway off the rectangle.
Judith Skillman, "Meadow, after Dion Salvador Lloyd"

From black paper and graphite, augmented with digital highlights and unnatural colours. Creatures stare curiously, maybe hungrily at you from the darkness. Hidden in the shadows of a forest that doesn't yet exist; drifting beneath the illusion.
Kyrico, "Unfinished Tree"

A photograph of the afternoon light casting shadows through the ceiling windows at the American Visionary Arts Museum.

JWST NIRCam image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936 and NGC 2937, or the Penguin and the Egg. The blue haze in the distorted spiral galaxy, elliptical galaxy, and the bridge connecting the two are stars. Red filaments are glowing dust. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI Source

$Arp 142, two interacting galaxies, observed in near-infrared light. At left is NGC 2937, nicknamed the Egg. Its center is brighter and whiter. There are six diffraction spikes atop its gauzy blue layers. At right is NGC 2936, nicknamed the Penguin. Its beak-like region points toward and above the Egg. Where the eye would be is a small, opaque yellow spiral. The Penguin’s distorted arms and thin red dust lanes from the bird’s beak, back, and tail. The tail is wide and layered, like a beta fish’s tail. A semi-transparent blue hue traces the Penguin and extends from the galaxy, creating an upside-down U over top of both galaxies. At top right is another galaxy seen from the side, pointing roughly at a 45-degree angle. It is largely light blue. Its length appears approximately as long as the Egg’s height. One foreground star with large, bright blue diffraction spikes appears over top of the galaxy and another near it. The entire black background is filled with tiny, extremely distant galaxies.$
