A faithful, slightly slavish, yet still abstracted digital recreation of The Clash’s London Calling album cover. Featuring a guy lit by a spotlight on a stage in a very wide stance and bent over with his head down, holding an electric guitar like an axe by the neck just an instant before he smashes it into the floor.

Digital illustration (inked figures in a looser more watercolor-y background) of a frame from the movie The Neverending Story. Young, shaggy-haired Atreyu, hip-deep in swamp muck, is desperately pulling on the reins of his white horse, Artax, who is neck-deep in the same swamp. In a speech bubble Atreyu is saying, ‘Maybe it will happen today!’ If you recognize the reference you are already triggered and my work here is done.

Dunno what to tell you… it’s a Lububu x Cthulhu. Just a splattery digital ink drawing of a lububu-shaped thing except with bat wings where the bunny ears would be and with five little tentacles hanging down from the bottom of its head and scales instead of fur. I hate it too don’t yell at me.
