Image Description: Black and white pen-and-ink sketch somewhat in the style of Maurice Sendak. A baby with elaborate clothing, boots, and bells reads underneath a parasol while a tie-wearing cat in small dark glasses and a toupee flourishes a knife attached to its tail. They are on the overgrown and litter-filled roof of a glass palace, above a Dutch-looking canal village near a jungle.

Image Description: An eye and the edge of a face peeks from behind a black curtain; a flexed index finger pushes up the one visible eyebrow. Superimposed across the entire width of the image, all-caps glowing yellow letters with the text “I miss you so much.”

Image Description: An adorable black-and-white papercraft creature with a cat face, stout body, bird beak, and wings, with a radiant star on its side, stands atop a plastic bag full of soil, from which erupt cloud-like, globular, multi-lobed white forms which resemble cauliflower but are mushrooms

Image Description: Ink and colored-pencil drawing of a robot that looks like a cross between the Boston Dynamics robot “Spot”, NASA’s Mars rover “Perseverance,” and a reindeer with wheels, next to a person in a Sami-inspired bright-colored skirt and shawl and a space helmet. They are casting long shadows on a white surface. Text reads: “At The Edge, The Rovers.”

Image Description: The upper half of a face with green eyes, shaggy brown fringe, and a bright red hairbow, on a red background.

Image description: a pale left foot held in the air, side-lit, with toenails painted purple. There is a cloth band-aid wrapped around the fourth toe. Colorful model biplanes are suspended behind the foot.

Image Description: A collage of a wet or frozen pink zinnia and a foamy coastline - turquoise water, pinkish beach. Cut-out collaged text reads “oh my it wouldn’t be chill”
