Two prints by Scott Campbell, in a charming cartoony style where everyone is just a little wobbly but very smiley. One is Jim Henson surrounded by his creations, Kermit on his lap, and Fraggles, Sesame Street monsters, Dark Crystal and Labyrinth characters around him. The other is the cast of Widow's Bay, on a rocky promontory with their island behind them. Also a pin of Derpy the tiger and the bird from Kpop Demon Hunters with a smiling potted plant.

Fallen Labubu on a desk, pale brown fur with a knit blue 60s style dress with a white collar that won't lay flat. Her blond flip and bangs are messy, and even though she's smiling with traditional pointy teeth, her green, pupil-less eyes are seeing a different world.

Black Keychron mechanical keyboard with swapped rainbow keycaps, gamer mouse, and way too many (9) Labubus from different releases, with the wigged ones in front, including one that looks like a Hitchock movie gal and a punk rock girl with a plaid skirt. Some of the others have glasses, hairbows or pink sequin Mickey ears.
Handmade plush snail perched atop a hot pink laptop like it's climbing up it. Off white snail with tiny black plastic eyes, chunky antennae that should technically be the eyes but this is cuter, and a smiling mouth munching on yarn moss. The shell is pastel space print. Lots of toy nonsense in the background.

They look mostly like adults, largely dark brown with elaborate beige mottling and white-crescent feather edges, and bright yellow feet. One is looking at camera with one foot on a nut or rock. The other is looking away.
