Three skulls are sketched in graphite on a creamy white page. They are all agape, facing in different directions, only one looking your way. They are melded in an unnatural way centrally. The lines are sketchy and harsh in places, scribbly in others. Shadows are dark and cavernous. A continuous line signature sits in the corner made of straight lines. It says 'Stel'.
A series of black ink and graphite line drawings of fairies, goblins and mushrooms are overlaid and assembled on a page with a pale green tint.
Kombucha girl is squinting disapprovingly over 9 panels. These are labeled, in order, End of 2019, 2020, 2021, Start of 2022, Start of 2023, 2024, 2025, Start of 2026
A series of bright Prismacolor pencils sit along the left side of a drawing on black paper. They are all cool colours, yellows, greens and blue. Central on the page is a highly contrasted skull, its eye cavities dark and hollow. On the right side, a belladonna plant is growing, with a deep blue-purple berry and long, silver-purple flowers. On left side, a silvery thistle-like plant is looming over the skull, its cool yellow flowers nestled amongst the sharp looking leaves.
A group of hesitant people stare around a corner at a door. One is holding a broom and using the long handle to carefully push open the door, which is labeled '2026'. Everyone looks very worried and nervous, as is tradition.
Stel has her art laid out on a long black table. There are many prints of her monochromatic paintings and the original artworks are propped up behind them. There are also coloured pencil works standing in black frames.
