Hey guys, I now have canvas prints available! I am slowly adding the canvas option to my prints, and that will take some time, but for now you can see some prices on my Anubis print. If there is any of my prints you would like as a canvas, let me know, and for now I can set you up with a custom order!

Ancient Egyptian flint saw, 3000 BC
Plaster replica of flint saw, found in Egypt, dating from ca. 3000 BC. Woodworking as a decorative craft began in Egypt around 3000 BC and Egyptian carpenters manufactured many wooden items to be buried in the tombs of the dead. Now in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Spectacular death. Spectacular star. Your crushed heart remains bright from afar.
You’re looking at a composite image of the Crab Nebula, located 6,500 light-years away. The white dot in the center — an extremely dense ball of neutrons just 12 miles across but with the same mass as our Sun — is all that remains from a star that exploded in 1054 A.D. Had the blast occurred 50 light-years away, its intense radiation would have wiped out most life forms on Earth.
Spectacular death. Spectacular star. We’re grateful we can admire you from afar.
Anonymous asked: are there any books you can recommend about the french resistance or other antifascist history type books?
Unfortunately, we don’t know of any good books on the French resistance ourselves (if you’re reading this and you do, feel free to make recommendations in the comments!). As for other anti-fascist history books, let’s ask Gord Hill, author of The Antifa Comic Book what he’d recommend:
Links to what Gord recommended:
Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook by Mark Bray
Insurgent Supremacists by Matthew Lyons
Against The Fascist Creep by Alexander Reid Ross
Beating The Fascists by Sean Birchall
