Cut paper collage and copic marker on Yu Yu Hakushu playing card (Jack of Spades). Whether or not reptilians actually exist, their characteristics are apparent in the very people trying to twist our world to fit their sick visions. The back of this card features a key to rearrange the letters in “the reptile,” but you can probably solve it yourself at this point.

In the light of the dark star, we face the formidable power of the immortal dominator! Some will stand against its avatars and its minions, fighting against its oppressive gravity. One by one, they may gouge out its eyes, and leave it to the cold darkness of space- but only on a long enough timeline.

A variation on the Batphone design, inspired by my memory of the cover of Tales of the Multiverse: Batman Vampire by Kelley Jones, maybe.
In 1964, Andy Warhol made Batman Dracula.

Cut paper collage with mixed media on a 1991 "G.I. Joe" series 1 trading card (no. 176)
The Pizza Elementals are a race of supernatural beings that are, obviously, connected to the universal force of Pizza. Their true name is unknown because their language has yet to be deciphered. They seem to have control over both fire and water.

2.5 x 3.5 inches, 2023.
Color correcting the scan of this card was also a nightmare, and I never got those orange ink spatters to look totally accurate. They're more of a cheese powder orange in-person.

I'm not really sure what this set of cards is called, but it seems to feature '80s and '90s rock bands. "I Live My Life for You" is probably, generally, the Firehouse song that you would know, if you know any of their songs. Anyway, I covered all of that up with an original collage.
