[Image IDs: a collection of preview pages for an art book entitled “A Little Growth.” The first three are photos of a print book in front of a bush with white flowers. The rest are clean digital images. Forgive my brief descriptions of the interior pages.

The cover is a brightly colored illustration of a woman and a robot leaning down to look at a potted "Rosa American Pillar" rose the robot is holding, the woman looking cheerful, the robot looking intrigued. The woman is white with light brown hair messily pulled up in a big hair clip, big glasses, and freckles, wearing a baggy shirt that's buttoned unevenly. The robot is yellow-orange and boxy, their head resembling a 1990s Mac computer, their face just two blue "eye" dots on a black screen, their body covered with dents, and their arms long with accordion-like folds. Behind them is a tall hedge covered in more roses. Above them floats the text "A Little Growth: An Art Collection by Rachel Ordway" in a loose handwritten font. The first photo of the interior shows a comic featuring the same robot and woman. A large illustration where the woman hugs the robot, startling them. Over the next few panels, closeups of the woman and robot as they have a brief conversation—”I was not made to love humans,” the robot says flatly, to which the woman, looking depressed, replies “Me either.”

The second photo of the interior shows a black-and-white illustration of a fantasy hero wielding a large sword and casting a fireball, their feet surrounded by venus flytraps. On the opposite page is a full-color illustration of the cast of Lupin III, posed as if they’re taking a group photo wearing matching shirts, while Zenigata bursts through the background behind them.

The first digital image shows a textured, watercolor-like image of K2-SO and Jyn Erso from Star Wars: Rogue One holding hands.

The second digital image shows a warmly colored illustration of the top of a cluttered wardrobe covered with images of various original characters—photographs, painted images on a vase, a futuristic hologram—in front of a corkboard with other memorabilia pinned to it, and the title “Shaped Like A Friend.”

The third digital image shows a brightly colored Yellow from Pokémon Adventures holding a giant nib pen, surrounded by Pikachu, Doduo, and Raticate, also holding art supplies, in front of a sequence of panels showing Yellow thinking up an idea and then drawing it.
