Brazilian graphic designer and illustrator Butcher Billy got the idea of turning famous love hits into book covers of horror master Stephen King. 

Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” The Smiths, “Head Over Heels” by Tears For Fears and many others were portrayed in a very unusual way.

I Got A Cat For My Sick And Grumpy Grandpa, And He Turned His Life Upside Down

“I’ve been photographing my grandfather, Jiji, since I had no clue how to use a camera. One day, 94-year-old Jiji’s life was turned upside-down by Kinako the cat. Since the War ended, for 64 years, Jiji commuted to his office, but in 2009 he was sent to the hospital. The doctor said he was sick. The once outgoing man gradually lost his interest in life and became grumpier than ever. It was around that time that I brought Kinako to live with us. An extraordinary friendship gradually grew between the two. Who would have thought that a timid kitten would befriend a grumpy old man! The border between human and animal melts, just as shy Kinako melted Jiji’s heart.”

Hey Earthlings!

We’re the Tourist Board on Trappist-1f, and, starting today, we’re open for the immediate settling of any humans or animals looking to move off Earth.

We’ve noticed more and more of you Earthlings are fed up with your leaders, so we welcome you to consider moving to our extremely (probably) habitable exoplanet. While our humble home may not have all the amenities you’re used to, we might have water - and, just in case, we ordered a lot of La Croix on Amazon Prime (Pamplemousse FTW). And, most importantly, we DEFINITELY don’t have Donald Trump, so we’re worth a chance, right?

Also, our star, Trappist-1, will live 400-500 times longer than your Sun - meaning we can accept your tired, poor, huddled masses for billions of years to come. We’d just recommend hurrying before your poor Earth is destroyed through global warming or nuclear war.

Thanks, love you-

1f
