Renaissance, by EH Lupton. In the style of black-figure art, a man dressed like Dionysus bends over a seated man in modern clothes.
Renaissance is out today! I didn't send it out early enough to get any pull quotes or blurbs. Oh well. It's a good book.
Also here is an artwork I commissioned from LIS Photoart on Instagram. (I don't think he's on Bluesky.)
Special thanks to @eliotedits.bsky.social.
