Holy
The Dowry of Hera
A still from the 2D block game Minecraft. A small figure with a sword is running towards a large dragon ... One way or another it's going to be carnage.
'The Importance of Being Earnest by Jeanette Burton' in black text on white with a big yellow Friday Poem blob over the right hand lower side.
What the owl said to me
Section from a book cover. The background is purple and some block capital letters in pink , yellow, green and white are arranged in a uniform block pattern.
A landscape photograph showing grass, a cloudy sky and a small crenelated building with a tower that looks like a lighthouse, but is presumably a camera obscura
Could be a woodcut, a black and white graphic of o woman's face, her chin is rising in her hand.
Graphic with a green background showing a repeating motif of drawn black and white bicycles. It would make excellent wallpaper for a keen cyclist.
Old copperplate writing on a white background.
Dark blue background. On this are two light blue outlines of hands, open palms upwards. Some beige swirling lines are behind.
Big white text on a black background. Parts of the words "The" and "Big" . Its striking if you like that monochrome block capitals kind of thing.
