Poster style color illustration of An Antidote for Strychnine, a song by The Mountain Goats. It's composed of several panels displaying different images based on the song: lab rats, chemicals, fish bones... Green and blue tones predominate, but the band's name and the song title are written in yellow.

Color illustration of a gas filled armored being. The armor is translucent in parts on the limbs and their spherical head, where said gas can be seen.

Color illustration of a sailboat with solar sails. The hull is painted white and red, and technical data about it can be seen on the top left corner.

Color illustration, in greenish tones, of Rana temporaria tadpoles swimming on a puddle that has formed over a concrete floor. The shadow of some off-canvas dandelions can be seen too.

The Comic Shop has a bit of road left to travel. But the story of the fiction shop from some of the best non-fictional talent in comics including @josephpillidge.bsky.social @tiredsai.bsky.social @comicuno.bsky.social deserves more attention. So let's give it some www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...
