A screenshot from a BBC news article about the Clacton by-election. Quote: “Comedian John Harvey, who regularly runs in by-elections under the pseudonym Count Binface, has confirmed he will run.”
An illustration of a man, shown from shoulders up, a horrified expression on his face. He is lit from below by a glowing red book which hangs open in the air before him, a swirl of glowing pages lifting around him. Behind him, unshaded if sickly green, looms a ruined city.
The same black cat as in the previous skeet is now up on the desk, sat directly on top of the sketchbook that had been occupying the prime real estate
A Birds Eye view of a slightly scraggly black cat sat beside a wheelie desk chair, looking inquisitively up at the viewer. He’s got that worn teddy bear look that older cats get, pale green eyes with a smudge of brown in the right one, and a tiny scattering of white hairs on his chest
A picture of a screen with a discord call on it. The screen is sharing a whiteboard, with a DnD dungeon map superimposed by a snakes and ladders board
Jamie, an older black tomcat with slightly tattered ears, sits and looks into the camera with a bright, inquisitive expression on his face. One paw is slightly raised as if he is about to politely ask for pets, however this goes somewhat unnoticed due to the ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE cobwebs FESTOONED across his face and whiskers.
A POV shot of a black cat peeking over the edge of a duvet and looking slightly off centre, but towards the person lying under it.
A close up snap of a small grey cat looking absolutely furious, sat with her paws centimetres from a slate hearth, a fire blazing in the grate. She is looking at the viewer from under a furrowed brow and there is murder in her eyes.
An awkwardly framed shot of two cats just about sharing one lap. The black one nearest to the camera seems content, the grey one in the background is staring daggers at him.
Flora, a five month old Aussie shepherd puppy with fluffy white and light tan fur, lies on cobblestones in the sunshine like a lil croissant, looking up at the viewer
Skye, a small grey domestic shorthair cat, is curled on the photographers lap, her eyes closed and paws tucked under her. There is a definite air of smugness as she magnanimously accepts a cheek scritch.
A black cat reclines on his side with his head twisted up and back over his shoulder to look at the camera. His eyes are huge, and if you could hear pictures, you think this one would probably sound like a happy rusty engine.
A flat uncoloured sketch of the same image as in the previous skeet
A young-ish man with short greying hair faces the viewer, visible only from the neck and shoulders up. His expression is both startled and fearful, as the book in front of him ruffles its pages and glows a menacing red, lighting his features dramatically. A swirl of pages covered is esoteric text surround him in a whirlwind, glowing that same red - while behind him looms a ruined city from the shadows, a bright green light at its apex that seems to be shining directly at his back. The image is painted dramatically in a limited palette of green, black and red.

Jacob, a young Australian shepherd, sits in the back seat of a car, ears pricked, looking off to one side attentively. His face is a mix of white, grey, black and tan patches, and his eyes mostly brown, with a little bit of blue.
An angled picture showing ‘windows To Worlds: The Art of Devin Elle Kurtz’ flipped open to its contents page. It’s a large book, and just visible past the edge is the head of Jamie, a black domestic shorthair cat, curled up in the lap of the person reading. The book is clearly resting on his back. He seems unperturbed by this.
As in the above skeet, the picture shows a glass garden table, with a magazine, mug of coffee, and plate with a pastry on it. The backdrop is an old wooden fence covered in ivy, a pot of creepy Jenny beginning to spill over its stand - and where the faded green garden chair on the far side of the table was empty, it now contains a small grey cat, caught midway through putting her front paws on the table, her attention caught by something off to the side.
An Aussie shepherd lying upside down sprawled across someone in a bed - the person is mostly out of frame, but there hand is mid-wrestle with the dogs upraised paw
A close up of the leafy end of a mystery houseplant tree. The leaves are glossy and spiky and emerge from the branch in the same pattern as a pineapple
Jacob, an Aussie shepherd dog, sits on a park bench in sunshine, panting happily. His eyes are squinted closed against the sunshine, and you can see scrubby grass and branches just beginning to get their spring growth behind him
Jacob - a two year old Aussie shepherd dog - lies facing the viewer with his front paws crossed over and a happy doggy smile on his face. In front of him the roof of a dwarven forge DnD terrain piece is visible, with dark green shingles and a weather vane.
A birds-eye view of a gridded DnD map, upon which are scattered an alarming number of red bomb shaped things….
A small grey cat looks up at the ceiling, perched on a kitchen counter to the left of the frame, while an Aussie shepherd dog sits on the floor directly in front of the viewer
A two year old Aussie shepherd dog (Jacob) looks beseechingly up at the viewer, his head and one paw resting in the photographers lap
A side profile of an Aussie shepherd dog, looking to the left of the viewer. His face is a mix of white, black, grey and tan, and he is wearing a green and red tartan neckerchief. In his mouth is a ball toy made of ruffles of soft multi coloured fabric.
Part of a ring of standing stones is visible underneath a large full moon and starry sky, backlit by rising dawn. In front of them a stag stands poised on snow, looking at the viewer. Its eyes and antlers glow with golden light, and it is crowned with a wreath of holly. Caught between its’ antlers is a small, burning sun.
A small grey cat sits upright on a desk, looking a little to the side of the viewer. She has pale green eyes and a disgruntled expression with her ears slightly turned back.
Jacob, a one year old Australian shepherd dog, sits on a frosty farm track. He’s looking up at the camera with his ears pricked up and looks like he’s smiling.
A girl with rosy hair wearing a pale blue cape stands framed in an open window, her expression gentle. There is a crow with a bandaged wing perched on her raised arm, and two more outside are adding to a pile of shiny trinkets on the windowsill, one coming into land, and one perched on a branch of the tree that frames the window, heavy with dark pink blossoms.
A screenshot from a phone of the blusky settings page, with the toggle for ‘Require alt text on images’ switched on and circled in yellow pen.
A top-down photograph showing two cats - one black, one grey - curled back to back on a blanket covering the picture taker’s lap. An iPad with an unfinished painting is resting on top of them, and one hand is visible resting on the grey cat. The room is warmly lit.
An illustration of all the worst parts of birds combined into one emu-looking awful bird. He's wearing a monocle for some reason. This is the character of 'Grandfather' from Dimension20's 'A Court of Fey and Flowers'.
A grey cat peeks out over the top of an open cardboard box. Only her ears and eyes are visible, fixed on the viewer.
A digital art study of a still from the Barbie 2023 movie trailer. Barbie is driving away from the viewer down a desert road towards mountains. Everything is very pink.
