A glowing blue-green goldfish bowl precariously balanced on top of a black conical mountain peak. Inside is a black fish with large, diaphanous fins. It is night; the sky is filled with stars. A meteor streaks overhead.

A snowy scene. In the foreground sits a person with a top hat on top of a large, muscular, brown creature that does not look like a horse. The creature has tall, pointed ears, no visible tail, and vaguely resembles a llama. It isn't one. Both the person and the horse are the same leathery brown color. In the background are a few dim, leafless trees with snow on the branches.

A figure with a large, bulbously awkward body and two thin legs makes its way across a bridge. The figure is carrying two suitcases. It does not have a head, and a large arched window in its body reveals a person sitting inside, as though it is a vehicle. Attached to the top of it is a flashlight-like lamp. In front of it is a glowing streetlight. The sky is reddish yellow, and the red light of dawn or dusk reflects off the figure and the bridge.

A dull, boggy area in the woods on a gray day. Here, the world is more muted and the only trees are dead hulks. Sitting on a dead branch of one of the trees is a large red figure wearing a red suit and a red fedora. Perched on the figure's left hand is a raven. In the background is the blurry suggestion of a treeline and another tree.

A person with devil horns holds out a top hat. A blazing white-green bolt of electricity is leaping from the opening of the hat. A foggy green glow surrounds the bolt. The person is illuminated by the bolt. This is a green drawing on a dark background.

A small concrete building in the middle of a grassy meadow. It is either dawn or dusk. The sky is pink, still with stars visible, and the horizon blazes with yellow. The grass is lavender. The building has a large dish antenna sticking off of the roof, and a few other smaller antennas. A doorway and a small window are visible. Both glow with greenish light. The door is ajar. There is a sign to the right of the door, with a triangular warning symbol on it, and indecipherable text below. A person is running away from the building.

A blazing sunrise or sunset. The sky is yellow; the sun is low on the horizon, turning the meadow in front of it a bright red. Rising up from the meadow is a tall metal pole with those little rungs you see on power line towers. The pole ends in a large dark gray metal sphere with a smiley-face emblazoned on it. The sphere is hollow, with an opening beneath it into which the pole disappears. There's a greenish light emanating from inside the sphere. A single bird flies overhead.

A dark interior. A person is pushing apart what appear to be curtains, or the flaps of a tent. The person is framed in the triangular opening, bluish light streaming in around them. To their right (your left) is a cat, sitting on the ground.

A scene at sunrise or sunset. The sky is a mix of blue and gold. The sun is hazy and close to the horizon. There is a large blue meadow in which sits a giant stone obelisk. There are two faces on either side of the obelisk. The largest face is on the right side. It is smiling, with its eyes mostly closed. The smaller face is above, on the left. It is craggier and frowning.

A person's head and shoulders. The face has no expression. The head and shoulders are a sort of monochrome blue with a slight highlight that makes them look as though they're carved from metal. The background of the drawing is blazing crimson. Where the person's eyes would be are red numerals displaying 12:00, like a digital clock that momentarily lost power.

November 13, 2024
A large traffic light stands in the middle of nowhere, with only a wire fence in the background. The sky is the deep blue of either dawn or dusk, with golden light on the horizon. The red aspect is brightly lit, the yellow aspect is dimly lit, and where the green aspect would be is a black mouth with fangs. As if that weren't unsettling enough, a crow is perched on top of the light.

November 12, 2024
A small, grass-covered chunk of earth hovers in the air, like a tiny island in the vast blue sky. Sitting on top of the chunk of earth is a boxy, dark blue robot, its back to the viewer. The robot is holding onto a large red balloon, which might be keeping the island aloft. A few birds are in the distance.

A dark, hooded figure stands on a rocky promontory in the darkest hour of the night, holding a glowing green lantern. The full moon hangs in the sky, casting a pale light on the wispy clouds surrounding it. Below the promontory, not depicted in the image but no less real or urgent, the dark hordes assemble to fight over whatever tawdry shards remain of a splintering world. You could save 15% by switching to Geico.

An eerie figure with a horned, skull-like head. The figure is wearing a tie and formal pants, and holds a briefcase in one hand and a glowing phone in the other. The figure is walking or dancing under a pink sky, in which hangs a neon-green sun or moon. The figure itself seems to be glowing with a slight greenish light. The ground it is standing on is also green.

A foggy gray woodland. Floating over it is a dark navy-blue metal sphere with several round glowing openings. Two are green, and one is red. Projecting from below the sphere is a long thornlike rod with radio dishes and antennas sticking off of it. A single bird flies over the trees.

A blue, starry evening. Under the night sky is a grassy hill with a cement cylinder—imagine a manhole—sticking out the top of it. The lid of the cylinder is blown back, and a beam of white light projects from the opening. Leaping from the opening is a dark, horned figure, its hour come round at last.

November 7, 2024
A tall figure wearing a long black coat and tie carries a briefcase in one hand and conjures up a small greenish flame in the other. The figure is also wearing a fedora. It has four legs, as though two people are under the coat with a third person standing on top of them. This is a primarily dark-teal drawing.

November 6, 2024
A small building with a tall clocktower, a narrow arched doorway, and a narrow arched window. The building is on top of a grassy hill of greenish-brown. Behind it are orange hills that suggest fall foliage. The sky is a golden yellow, and sunlight blazes behind the building. A single bird circles in the sky.

A large white oval sticker on a blue background. The sticker has the letters "I voted". The "I" is in red; the "voted" is in blue. Below "voted" is a drawing of an American flag. The sticker looks slightly worn and degraded.

A chaotic mixture of red and blue charts and graphs that form a frowning face. Two pie charts form the eyes, a bar chart defines the nose, and a jagged pair of red and blue lines are the mouth.

A small shack at night, under a starry sky. The shack has a roof sloping down to the right, and a single door with no windows. On the door is what appears to be a warning sign, although what it's warning against isn't legible. There is a green glow under the door. Directly to the left of the shack is a giant test tube, taller than the shack, with a glowing greenish substance in it. Glowing green pipes connect the test tube to the shack. Rising from the test tube is a faint column of smoke.

A large dark green metal sphere floats like a balloon in a blue-green sky. The balloon has a cable fixed to it below, and is haphazardly bolted together from various metal plates. Two small pipes are sticking off of it on the lower right. Sitting on top is a person in a chair, holding a telescope up to their eye. The telescope is trained on a bright round object in the distant sky.

A dull, foggy November day. A thin figure with a greenish coat, boots, and a pumpkin for a head walks across the barren ground carrying two worn suitcases. A hazy sun hangs in the sky.

October 31, 2024
A dim, foggy, purple night. Placed in the middle of a meadow is an odd building: a small tower with one glowing, narrow window on the first floor and two tall, arched windows on the second floor. The windows glow green. The second floor of the building is slightly wider than the first. The roof of the building is tapered to a flat deck with a small railing around it. On the right side of the building is a small covered porch with a long staircase. Approaching out of the fog is a vast, lumbering figure with glowing white eyes. The figure appears to be, if not as tall as the building, definitely larger than anybody who lives in it. An enormous orange moon partially covered by clouds hangs in the sky.

A figure with horns and a tail dances on top of a tree stump. The figure is seen from the back, and is holding a violin in one hand and a bow in another. The horizon is the pink and yellow of either a sunrise or a sunset, with the yellow light reflecting off the stump and the figure. The upper portion of the sky is blue.

A skeletal figure wearing an old seaman's coat and a tricorn hat stands behind an old-style ship's steering wheel. The entire scene is illuminated in eerie green light. Above is a starry night sky crisscrossed with green lines. Meteors streak through the night. People who were online back when the floppy disk icon meant something might think this looks a little familiar.

October 28, 2024
A person on a dark blue background carries a giant pumpkin balloon on a string. The pumpkin is bright orange, large enough that the person could fit inside it easily, and has an angry face on it: Facebook's "angry" reaction. There's a lot happening this time of year.

October 27, 2024
A deep canyon winds between two steep, craggy cliffs. The bottom is flat, like a road. The sky above is a blazing yellow-green. One bird floats in the sky in the distance. There's no sign of any other life.

A grainy, monochrome drawing of four eerie figures gathered in front of a digital camera on a tripod. The foremost figure is a small person wearing a dark suit and tie with an ID badge. The person's face is blank, the eyes empty, as though it's a mask. Standing behind them is a figure with devil horns and glasses, and a figure wearing a white robe and a bowler hat. That figure's face is also masklike, with empty eyes and a mouth stretched in an unsettling smile. The rearmost figure is a dark, indistinct blur, with the suggestion of a suit coat and glowing white eyes. Something that could either be the sun or the moon hangs in the sky above.

Four crows cluster in front of a film screen on which is projected a scene from a black and white horror film featuring a scarecrow. On screen, the scarecrow is menacing a crow. Offscreen, it is night. A thin crescent moon sits in the sky.

A red sky in which an enormous comet the size of the sun can be seen. The landscape is mostly flat, the ground covered with fog, through which rises jagged, pointy mountains. Walking through the fog, only the top of their bodies visible, are two people: a person wearing a backpack and carrying a hiking stick, and a person in front of them wearing a wide-brimmed hat. See if this reminds you of anything.

A tall, rusty contraption stands in the middle of a bright green field under a cloudless blue sky. The purpose of the contraption is unclear; it looks vaguely robotic, with two dilapidated legs and a boxy body with various protrusions and openings. A rust-colored cat is looking out of the largest opening, a circular window that looks like a pipe may have plugged into it. On top of the body is a rusty dome with another round hole in it. Protruding from the front of the contraption is a long metal pipe from which hangs a rusty mailbox. Whatever this machine once did, it sure isn't doing it now.
