A monochrome, charcoal drawing of a dark figure wearing a long black coat and holding a black umbrella. It stands by the side of the road, buildings in the background. Most unsettlingly, the figure is wearing a ghost mask from the Scream film series. The buildings in the background look like shopping centers and fast food places; the McDonalds logo can be seen. This is at night, the full moon high in the sky. Unlike most of the other stuff I post on here, I didn't imagine this; I saw this person standing by the side of the road while driving home tonight.

A figure, wearing a black shirt or robe, visible from the chest up, staring at the camera. The figure is set against a slate-gray sky with a row of clouds above it. The figure has its mouth open in an apparent scream, both hands clapped to its cheeks. The figure's head is more like an icon than anything human—not much more than a yellow sphere; two large white ovals that constitute empty, staring eyes; another black oval for a mouth. Someone familiar with emoji would recognize the iOS "scream" emoji; someone familiar with art would recognize that emoji's inspiration. If I were the pretentious type, I'd say something intelligent-sounding about how this is the most meta thing I've ever drawn. It is, but I'm not.
