Maybe It Will Happen Today

Digital illustration in comic book style of 1966 Adam West Batman. He’s making a very manic and stressed out gritted-teeth grimace as he runs with a comically large bomb with a lit fuse held in both hands over his head. Three speech bubbles, the last being a red and orange burst, contain the words ‘Maybe it will happen today!’ 🦇 💣

A digital illustration in a colored pencil style on a toned paper background. It’s the weird servant robot that Rocky gives Paulie for his birthday in Rocky IV. It has a big elliptical spheroid head with big shiny blue eyes, arms with grabby pincer claws and the bottom of its body is shaped kind of like a retro-future vacuum cleaner with some kind of control panel at hip level. The robot has a striped party hat on its head and is carrying a birthday cake with white and pink frosting covered with lit candles on a tasty. Many orange-red lines are radiating around its head surrounding faux-digital text that reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Digital illustration in ink and color style. A hippopotamus standing on a low hillock. He has the wings and engines of a biplane strapped to his flanks. The propellers are spinning and he's wearing goggles. Sitting on top of the upper wing in front of a control stick is a capybara wearing a white silk scarf that's flapping in th breeze, a leather old-timey aviator helmet and goggles. Just two aquatic mammals who are friends taking to the air. Arcing agains the blue sky and clouds of the background is lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Very spidery skittery death metal-style lettering above a drawing of a behornéd skull, all rendered in white on black. It somewhat illegibly spells out ‘Maybe it will happen today’

An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A! I ate a hamburger and said hooray! Maybe it will happen today! The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.

A photo of a light-colored cat with a gray face and ears and wide blue eyes. Unknown forces are holding up to the cat’s ear the handset of a beige antique-type touch tone phone. A rectangular speech bubble with a jagged tail has been drawn on the photo to indicate it is the sound coming out of the handset. Words inside the bubble read, ‘Maybe it will happen today…’

A loose digital painting of a rather cross-looking dodo bird in profile facing right and holding a large battle axe under its far wing. Some messy lettering to the bird’s right made up of pink and orange brush strokes and splattery black and white ink outlines reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Black and white digital illustration on a warm gray mottled background. Stout, indeterminately goth-y serif lettering filling out a shield-like shape with some decorative additions top and bottom. Like lettering you’d see on an overly ambitious gravestone or an overly sincere tattoo. Kind of runic. Kind of metal. And a little Victorian with flourishes and vines twisting through the spaces. It reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital illustration of a black crowned night heron in profile looking right, with a prominent bright red eye making them look especially expectant. Standing on a rock with green river-like swirly colors behind. The drawing is framed by a simple line, and under the frame lettering reads, 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A digital illustration done in a comics-like ink and color style. Portraits of two women flipped 180º from each other somewhat in the manner or a playing card. In the top left quadrant of the frame is a white woman with brunette hair done up in fluffy pigtails. She has pink lipstick and purplish eye shadow. In the lower right quadrant is a white woman with short ginger hair wearing a flower crown. She has redder lipstick and yellowish eyeshadow. Both women have heavy, thick black lines painted around their eyes. Both of their expressions are extremely neutral. The ginger woman is wearing a lime green dress that makes up the color of the background of the top half of the image behind the brunette, and the rest of the background is an intense blue. In the top right and lower left quadrants is loopy hand drawn lettering reading 'Maybe it will / Hap-pen today.' with the second half of the phrase inverted to match the orientation of the ginger woman. There are daisies set within the lettering. This was all because I wanted to draw the two main characters of the 1966 Czech film, 'Daisies'. It's really something and you should watch it.

A digital illustration in a colored pencil style. A drawing of a Polaroid SX-70, a foldable instant camera that some would say is one of the best cameras ever in history. It is silver and black with patches of brown fake leather on some of the body panels. It is unfolded into its characteristic mass of unlikely angles. The camera is set against a background rectangle filled with the colors filled with the colors of the Polaroid packaging rainbow. A photo is protruding from the camera and has developed to reveal only white letters on black reading ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’.

A two-headed masked luchador wearing two different masks: one a blue-green and gold classic design and the other green with a spread-wing eagle design. He's wearing a blue singlet and standing in a slightly awkward but still hopefully sufficiently menacing manner. He's framed in a. gold-colored frame with a blue gradient background with wobbly white lines radiating out around the heads. Lettering above and below the frame reads 'Quizás Suceda Hoy' which I believe is Spanish for 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A digital illustration of the world’s largest terrestrial arthropod, the Coconut Crab. It’s a beefy articulated tank of a beast: heavy and strong-looking claws and long legs emerging from under a roundish domed carapace, with a vaguely comical head segment and two long antennae amid all that. Colored in shades of brown and blue with linear striations along all its limbs and spots on its carapace. A speech balloon with a very long tail that wraps around one of the crab’s legs reads ‘maybe it will happen today’. You should look up some coconut crab images soon.

Digital illustration of the heroic goose from Untitled Goose Game. Goose is all white with orange feet and beak and everything is rendered in flat simple shapes. Goose is standing next to a stream with greenery and blue sky behind, proudly holding the coveted shiny bell in his beak. Handwritten lettering in the sky reads ‘Maybe it will happen today.’

A digital illustration of silent film star Louise Brooks with her signature bob haircut wearing a thin strap slimy black dress. She’s seen from mid-chest turned to the right and looking back to the left. Her hair, eyes, mouth and dress are colored in hot pinks and purples and her skin is bluish green tones. The background is textured orange and yellow. To the left of her head in curvy deco lettering is the phrase ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital illustration done in black and white graphite style. Toshiro Mifune as his unnamed ronin character in Yojimbo. With both swords prominently on view in his belt, he has his arms pulled inside of his black kimono with one hand coming up through the collar to stroke his chin as he gives some sharp side eye to the right, scheming. In a text box in the upper right corner is what I sincerely hope is an accurate Japanese translation of ‘maybe it will happen today’.

Ok, so imagine three snakey-shaped creatures that all branch out from a central point. Two of them, left and right are wrapped around a gently curved ornamented banner, and the third is curled up under all of that. On the left we are looking at a medium blue dragonish snake creature. It has a row of several dark eyes on the side of its head we can see in profile. It has a toothy mouth and stumpy branched horns, with similar stumpy protrusions leading down its spine. It is looking to the right and looking back is the second snakey-beast which is green and striped and its head is an open-mouthed and quite long-eared hare. It has two pairs of front limbs and bunny-ear shaped protrusions in sequence down its spine. The third snake-beast curling around below is basically just a pangolin. Pointy face, big eye, covered in big brown pine cone-like scales with, again, two pairs of heavily-clawed front limbs. and it long, sticky pink tongue curling out. On the banner all this snakiness is wrapping around are the words 'Maybe it will happen today'.

I get mad at myself every time I draw something this complicated to describe

A time-aged photo of a bowling team posing behind a display of bowling balls and pins. From left to right, we've got a long-haired white guy making a 'hell yeah!' face and probably hearing REO Speedwagon in his head. Then there's a pretty girl with straight long hair in a pink shirt very consciously doing a posing for a photo face. Then a black guy in a blue polo to prove everyone here is cool, next to the oldest dude on the team with longer hair and a 'stache in a peach-colored bowling shirt. Then a girl with a cute bob and sunglasses in a floral shirt, and finally there's Ed who there isn't a lot to say about. Below the ball display is a wooden sign with tracks for placing movable plastic letters. In the top left it reads 'REDONDO BCH.' and top right is '1975' and between those is the mysterious phrase 'MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY'.

A modified screenshot from Hellbound: Hellraiser II. A man without skin, just glistening muscle and blood, leaning against a cinder block wall he’s left a red smear on as he points to the words he’s written on the wall in his own blood next to him: ‘Maybe it will happen today’. Sorry if this one’s too gross. These are free.

Not for any reason but the cat depicted in the image you quoted is named Bear

Digital illustration done in a rough ink style and shades of red. It’s Tim Curry as the big devil man from Legend. He’s all red wearing raggy black garment that still shows off all of his chest. He has a pair of absolutely massive bull-like horns on his head which is thrown back laughing and fists on hips, simply delighted as he contemplates the red lettering next to him which reads ‘Maine it will happen today’.

A somewhat janky digital rendering of the 60s version of the USS Enterprise rendered in greenish grays with orange highlights on the front of the nacelles and the deflector dish. There is a burst of whooshing rays behind it but the background is the default natural paper color I’ve been using and not space black. Reddish-orange text around the ship set in a Star Trek TOS font reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital illustration in a graphite style of my fluffy gray cat, Bear, with a sort of blank expression on his face. Behind the graphite drawing is a varied gradient of colors in his fur, grays, blues, purples, yellows, pink in the ears and yellow eyes. Across his impressive fluffy mane are hand lettered words in a block serif style reading 'Maybe It will happen today'

A digital simulation of letter pressed wood type. An ornate border surrounding various typefaces spelling out ‘Maybe it will happen today’ including sun and moon designs and two beer bottles.

A block of loopy, swashy hand drawn lettering. Colored in an orange to purple gradient with a deep black 3D effect and some grungy decay and color filtering added. It reads, of course, ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’

A long horizontal sign based on the ones at CTA stations that tell what stop you’re at. It’s gray with red, purple, and brown bands at either ends. Four pigeons are perched on the sign in various pigeon poses as a sunrise is seen in the background. The sign itself reads, ‘Maybe It will happen today’
