	Intron Depot		A gradually expanding series of collected illustrations (mostly color) by Masamune Shirow.  Volumes released so far are Intron Depot (early works) and Intron Depot 2: Blades (fantasy illustrations).  Notes by Shirow himself accompany each illustration, and the commentary is conveniently printed in both English and Japanese on the same page in each volume.  Intron Depot 3 will focus on Shirow's mech and Landmate designs for which the former civil engineer is legendary.   The books offer fascinating insight into Shirow's mind and creative processes
	Intron Substation		The name of my humble homepage - obviously based on the Intron Depot title and intended as a tribute to the fantastic works of Masamune Shirow
