In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon.
The text on the bottom reds "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber @ CMA."

ChickenZilla comic. The farm dog confronts Henrietta the hen about the terror her offspring is. Henrietta challenges the farm dog as to why he thinks it is her definitely not adopted son that is terrorizing the farm. The whole area is aflame as Henrietta defends her son Godzilla from the accusations as smoke seeps out of his mouth.

The silhouette of a man with a briefcase and an angel with horns stand in front of a fogbound gas station at night as above them a large billboard proclaims "Hell Is Work"

The tag line in glowing yellow text at the bottom says "Hell is empty and all the demons are in polo shirts"

Made from non-AI free stock images.


This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.


2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.


3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says:
"A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

BLACK MIRROR Γ— SEVERANCE Γ— THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesmanβ€”until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

Door in the Fernwood: In this magical Irish bloodline, poison runs deep.

Door in the Fernwood: In this magical Irish bloodline, poison runs deep.

When sixteen-year-old Quinn puts on an ancient ancestral ring, it shatters the protective binding spell her family cast at birthβ€”awakening clairvoyant powers she should have inherited from her Irish magical bloodline. But the ring also makes her visible to Neris, a Victorian sorceress who hunts Quinn to steal the ring. Hidden away in an Oregon enchanted forest with extended family, Quinn must master her powers before Neris destroys not only her, but their entire family tree.

Quinn gripped her camera and leaned forward, her shins pressing against the greenhouse ladder. Face to face with her majestic corpse flower, she held her breath as its infamous, putrid odor spilled from the curling burgundy folds. After years of careful cultivation, she couldn’t afford to miss a single stage of its first bloom. The camera’s shutter clicked one final time as she aimed into its central chamber. Satisfied with her shots, she climbed down and switched on the exhaust fan. 
Through the greenhouse glass, she watched her elderly neighbors on their back deck, gossiping as usual, completely unaware of the olfactory surprise heading their way.
Right on cue, Vera’s voice rang out. 
β€œWoo-ee! Who died?” she screeched, sniffing the air.
β€œNobody croaked,” her husband Artie grumbled as he sipped coffee from his John Deere mug. β€œIt’s that young girl next door. You remember she invited us over to look at some big, stinky flower tonight?”
β€œWell, I’m not goin’. Bet you I’d pass out if I got any closer,” Vera said. β€œYou know her mother keeps her locked up in that backyard doing the strangest things. It’s just not normal for a girl her age.”
Although the comment stung, small-town judgments like this only fueled Quinn’s retreat into her own backyard utopia, where she propagated plants from all over the globeβ€”the carnivorous, poisonous, endangered, the beautiful, the ugly, and the common. She sketched the rare or interesting onesβ€”charcoal drawings lined the interior walls of her garden shed wherever she found a blank space. She collected their seeds, dried their leaves, made teas, salves, and medicinal remedies.
