Maybe It Will Happen Today

A black and white cartoon style digital drawing. From left to right: a pelican wearing a knit beanie with his beak wide open; coming out from the pelican’s beak bag is a crab holding a big top hat in one claw with the opening of it up like a bucket; the top hat is full of water and a smiling fish is popping out of it sticking out his long cartoon tongue; on the tongue is an open scallop shell showing the grinning scallop inside; and flying out from the scallop shell is a little ghost wearing a pirate hat with a skull and crossbones on it. A series of speech bubbles follows this progression with each participant speaking one word of the phrase ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

I decided to put up a print of this just because it's so very silly

A photo of a pegboard with various tools and supplies, and in the middle a finished cross-stitch on a hanger that reads "Maybe it will happen today" surrounded by a floral border.

Inspired by @today-maybe.bsky.social and fuelled by my own self-doubt, I made a cross-stitch pattern. Read more on the blog, or don't and just grab it from the photos. (I also meant to just post this here, and not on my personal bsky, but whatever)

A digital illustration of a groundhog all dressed up in fancy morning dress: big shiny top hat, cutaway coat with tails, bow tie, waistcoat with watch chain, pinstriped pants and shoes with spats. He’s standing on a hillside covered in yellowish green grass. It’ The sky is gray and hazy and there’s a bare tree in the distance. There are patches of snow on the ground and crocuses coming up. He’s casting a long shadow forward within which is lettering reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Digital illustration in black, pale red, and off white. A caucasian man with a black goatee and very round afro, wearing a black robe of some sort, is snarling and striking a dramatic pose with kung fu hands. He is surrounded by a jagged red burst shape. In space to the right of his head inside the burst is some fancy script reading 'Maybe'. And at the bottom of the frame in black on white in an angular blocky face is the words 'IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY'

A digital illustration of an attempt to make a fake illuminated manuscript. There’s a fancy illuminated drop capital M. Lots of medieval-type ornamentation, a little illustration in the corner of a rabbit with a battle ax having some sort of confrontation with a little bipedal lizard thing that has an arm instead of a neck and head which is holding a dagger. There’s an orange dragonish beast wrapped around the top of everything and lettering done in some kind of fanciful script reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’

A digital illustration. Seen mostly in silhouette (with some hints of detail if you zoom in) we see Sisyphus in his classical Greek togs against a reddish orange background. He is working very hard to shove an extremely large, roughly spherical boulder up a very steep grade. Large letters carved into the side of the boulder facing us read ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital illustration of Max Headroom, a shiny, fast/talking electric man who lived inside a TV who we all liked in the 80s. He has a very tall head with an odd stripey blond hair cut and a goofy grin. He’s wearing white wayfarers and a shiny white, wide shouldered jacket over a lilac colored shirt and black bow tie. The background is intersecting colored perspective lines sort of forming the idea of a box. Colorful type following the perspective of the walls reads ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’.

Digital portrait of everyone’s favorite Cenobite, Pinhead, from the Hellraiser movies. A totally bald guy with a sickly greenish-grayish-white corpsey skin tone who has a neat grid of red incisions cut into his face and a large silver pin driven in at every intersection. He has a black but still grim expression. There’s an impression of hanging chains in the darkness behind him. Set of against the shiny black high-necked garment he’s wearing is some tall and narrow lettering in red reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Digital illustration drawn in a loose sketchy pencil style of four small, generalized sparrow-type birds of no specific species perching in a tangle of branches. Near each bird are words in a hand drawn blackletter style reading ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’.

A round low yellow platform on which we see standing a hot dog bun with cartoon arms and legs. The bun is patting with one hand a red frankfurter with cartoon arms that is perched on a little stand in an obeisant posture. They are clearly working up to a tremendous stunt. A banner matching the platform is suspended over the scene by mauve columns. The background is a gradated, muted green with a few stylized sparkles on it. On the banner and the front of the platform are the words, ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’

A black and white ink style illustration of a falling anvil with a downward-pointing arrow shape behind it. Above the anvil in the back of the arrow shape are the words ‘MAYBE IT’LL’. Across the side of the anvil is the word ‘HAPPEN’ and in the point of the arrow below the anvil is the word ‘TODAY’

Digital illustration in a black and white graphite/charcoal style. The title character of Nosferatu (2024) is advancing toward you with his big mustache and one hand reaching from under his big furry coat. Probably with ill intent. You are free to imagine that Orlock is in fact about to really give the business to someone who actually deserves it. Whoever you like. As the scratchy lettering around his head says, ‘maybe it will happen today’.

Digital illustration based on a photo of Eleanor and Karla Gutöhrlein who danced and performed as The Sisters G in the early 20th century. They are on either side of the frame doing a symmetrical sort of presentational jazz hands move toward the center. They are wearing the same outfit of a teal green hat and jacket with dark piping and buttons, only the briefest of briefs below to display maximum leg, and matching heels. Between them is some bold, glittery green art deco type surrounded by curly filigree in front of a dark background lit up with light rays and sparkles. The toe reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A goat creature with three horns, one eye, and a forked tongue hanging out. It has a ceremonial looking single bladed axe between its front hooves. The beast is wrapped in a banner going around three times. What emerges below the banner is just a mass of tentacles. The banner reads, ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’

A simple line drawing with halftone shading of the titular pig-man from the movie Porco Rosso. He’s wearing a trench coat with the collar turned up and a wide brimmed fedora and sunglasses. His mouth is wide open in a sarcastic laugh. A word balloon says, ‘Maybe it will happen today’

A digital illustration of David Lynch (we miss you) from the little concrete walled, cluttered office space he used to do his odd little weather reports from. Everything is rendered in a strange combination of textures and line halftones and muted cool colors. Cruddy lettering at the bottom of the frame reads 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A digital recreation of a panel of the comic Nancy by Olivia James. The titular character, Nancy, is riding a hoverboard-type scooter, holding a digital music player in one hand and a phone on a selfie stick in the other. She's wearing those 80s Venetian blind sunglasses. All the colors are weird inversions or variations from the actual panel colors. In a large speech balloon above her head Nancy is saying 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A digital illustration based on a shoulders-up portrait photo of Little Richard from one of his early album covers. He has very tall, green-colored hair, and his head is thrown back with his mouth open, in all likelihood going 'woo' in the original. He's wearing a loudly patterned orange jacket over a light pink shirt. Lettering inside the shape of his hair reads, 'Maybe it will happen' and a jagged angular shape near his mouth contains the letters to the word 'Today'. A yellow and orange starburst shape is behind all of this.

Digital illustration in a comic inking style of the head of a walrus. He has big tusks, but instead of the normal walrus whiskers he has a luxuriant handlebar mustache with a nice curl on the end. A pair of pince nez glasses sit on his nose and he’s puffing on a large pipe which is popping out soap bubbles. A thought balloon over his head contains the words, ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
