Grainy photo of my daughter, aged seven at the time, wearing a mask of a very old man's face, with deep wrinkles and a long beard.
Abstract ink artwork. Looking down a path leading into the distance, two silhouetted figures are just visible at the horizon. The surrounding abstract landscape has washed-out purple, yellow and cyan tones.

Close-up photo. Four plastic dinosaurs are in a contest, all touching a miniature Cool Whip container. The judges (Totoro, carrying an umbrella, and a grotesque clay head with feet) look on.
Grainy photo of a giant outdoor chess set at night.
Mixed media artwork. Against a deep red background, two curved objects resembling bones or hooks are suspended from above. A human figure in the bottom right corner looks at a small sign in front of the exhibit.
Black and white ink drawing. Two figures resembling stylized matroyshka dolls are suspended in a circle above dangerous-looking sharp spikes. One is much larger than the other and holds the smaller one in a tight embrace, while showing an expression of alarm and concern.
Surreal black and white ink drawing. A human figure is confronted by a very tall carnivorous plant that has a small wheel at its base and is wearing a bowler hat. The plant blocks the way to a winding road with a row of houses in the far distance. Ominous spiked plants and geometric clouds loom over the scene.
Surreal ink drawing of a transparent web-like structure, which can be seen as a human face, against a sky-blue background.
In this abstract image, a bright yellow circle is partly covered by a square of what could be moss or grass. Both are surrounded by a background of pink and white fuzzy material.
