A two-headed masked luchador wearing two different masks: one a blue-green and gold classic design and the other green with a spread-wing eagle design. He's wearing a blue singlet and standing in a slightly awkward but still hopefully sufficiently menacing manner. He's framed in a. gold-colored frame with a blue gradient background with wobbly white lines radiating out around the heads. Lettering above and below the frame reads 'Quizás Suceda Hoy' which I believe is Spanish for 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A digital illustration of the world’s largest terrestrial arthropod, the Coconut Crab. It’s a beefy articulated tank of a beast: heavy and strong-looking claws and long legs emerging from under a roundish domed carapace, with a vaguely comical head segment and two long antennae amid all that. Colored in shades of brown and blue with linear striations along all its limbs and spots on its carapace. A speech balloon with a very long tail that wraps around one of the crab’s legs reads ‘maybe it will happen today’. You should look up some coconut crab images soon.

A time-aged photo of a bowling team posing behind a display of bowling balls and pins. From left to right, we've got a long-haired white guy making a 'hell yeah!' face and probably hearing REO Speedwagon in his head. Then there's a pretty girl with straight long hair in a pink shirt very consciously doing a posing for a photo face. Then a black guy in a blue polo to prove everyone here is cool, next to the oldest dude on the team with longer hair and a 'stache in a peach-colored bowling shirt. Then a girl with a cute bob and sunglasses in a floral shirt, and finally there's Ed who there isn't a lot to say about. Below the ball display is a wooden sign with tracks for placing movable plastic letters. In the top left it reads 'REDONDO BCH.' and top right is '1975' and between those is the mysterious phrase 'MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY'.

A digital illustration done in black and white graphite style. Toshiro Mifune as his unnamed ronin character in Yojimbo. With both swords prominently on view in his belt, he has his arms pulled inside of his black kimono with one hand coming up through the collar to stroke his chin as he gives some sharp side eye to the right, scheming. In a text box in the upper right corner is what I sincerely hope is an accurate Japanese translation of ‘maybe it will happen today’.

Digital illustration of the heroic goose from Untitled Goose Game. Goose is all white with orange feet and beak and everything is rendered in flat simple shapes. Goose is standing next to a stream with greenery and blue sky behind, proudly holding the coveted shiny bell in his beak. Handwritten lettering in the sky reads ‘Maybe it will happen today.’

A somewhat janky digital rendering of the 60s version of the USS Enterprise rendered in greenish grays with orange highlights on the front of the nacelles and the deflector dish. There is a burst of whooshing rays behind it but the background is the default natural paper color I’ve been using and not space black. Reddish-orange text around the ship set in a Star Trek TOS font reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Digital illustration done in a rough ink style and shades of red. It’s Tim Curry as the big devil man from Legend. He’s all red wearing raggy black garment that still shows off all of his chest. He has a pair of absolutely massive bull-like horns on his head which is thrown back laughing and fists on hips, simply delighted as he contemplates the red lettering next to him which reads ‘Maine it will happen today’.

A digital illustration in a graphite style of my fluffy gray cat, Bear, with a sort of blank expression on his face. Behind the graphite drawing is a varied gradient of colors in his fur, grays, blues, purples, yellows, pink in the ears and yellow eyes. Across his impressive fluffy mane are hand lettered words in a block serif style reading 'Maybe It will happen today'

Four pigeons are perched on the sign in various pigeon poses as a sunrise is seen in the background. The sign itself reads, ‘Maybe It will happen today’

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

An illustration done mostly with digital colored pencils. Ok, so we have a wooden coffin in the classic top-heavy hexagon shape. The coffin is propped up at an angle on nothing against a background of gray-blue paint splatters as a spooky sheet ghost rises out of it. Although it’s not a real sheet as it’s translucent and there’s nothing inside of it except a gape-mouthed green skull in the approximate head position within the sheet. The ghost is wearing a big. floppy, black witch’s hat and there’s a little brown bat hanging down from the wide brim. The ghost’s arms are extended holding a jack o’ lantern with a one-toothed frowny face carved into it. Popping out of the jack o’ lantern is a a black cat with green eyes balancing the cap of the pumpkin on his head. And on the stem of the pumpkin cap is a very serious-looking brown speckled owl. A series of spooky speech balloons is chained together around all this , each balloon containing one word and associating back tot he spooks and creatures named in the reverse order listed. The lettering in the balloons is red and drippy and reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital recreation of a panel from the 1960s Hungarian comic strip Jucika by Pál Pusztai. In the image (drawn with black outlines and limited color that is also charmingly, wildly out of register) we see the main character, Jucika, a brunette woman with a short, kicky haircut wearing a striped, green, knee-length, sleeveless dress. She is dancing with a delighted-looking man in a military uniform who is holding one of her hands while in the other she's carrying a red portable radio by its little handle. She's grinning back over her shoulder to the left to see an attractive woman – red hair in curly bangs and a pony tail and wearing a different sort of green dress – who is dancing to the music from the radio with a different delighted-looking man in a brown suit. Everyone is having a great time. Below the drawing is all lower case script lettering with a brown drop that reads 'talán ma fog megtörténni', which my Hungarian-speaking friend Matilda assures me translates to 'Maybe it will happend today'

A digital illustration of an attempt to make a fake illuminated manuscript. There’s a fancy illuminated drop capital M. Lots of medieval-type ornamentation, a little illustration in the corner of a rabbit with a battle ax having some sort of confrontation with a little bipedal lizard thing that has an arm instead of a neck and head which is holding a dagger. There’s an orange dragonish beast wrapped around the top of everything and lettering done in some kind of fanciful script reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’

Digital illustration in black, pale red, and off white. A caucasian man with a black goatee and very round afro, wearing a black robe of some sort, is snarling and striking a dramatic pose with kung fu hands. He is surrounded by a jagged red burst shape. In space to the right of his head inside the burst is some fancy script reading 'Maybe'. And at the bottom of the frame in black on white in an angular blocky face is the words 'IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY'

A digital illustration based on a scene from the German Expressionist silent film Metropolis (1927). What we see is a robot woman seated in a chair, colored in gradated maroon shades. She's a shiny brass color in a sculptural art deco style staring implacably or incomprehendingly outward. Two sockets on either side of her head and many such other sockets on the chair have wires leading away out of frame. The background, colored in shades of blue is divided into radial sections with lightning bolt edges. (All these colors are purely notional as the source material is all black and white.)Around the chair and the robot are four sets of equally-spaced concentric triple rings or some sort of energy or electricity. Riding the top edges of these rings is jaggedy, electric lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

A digital illustration based on a photo of Lori Winston, the June 1964 Playboy Playmate of the Month. The drawing is rendered in heavy pencil outlines and flat planes of color with colored pencil hatching. Lori is shown reclining by the low steps of a swimming pool, leaning back propped up with her arms behind her. One leg is bent and the other fully extended out for the leg enjoyers. She's turning her head toward the camera with a coquetteish tilt and smile. Her auburn hair is gathered up on her head in a distinctly 1960s way. She is wearing a white t-shirt that covers her down to the top of her thighs and no evidence of any other articles altho you could show this to your grandma and she wouldn't blink. Very chaste. In the bottom right corner under one of Ms. Winston's hands is some orange marker-style script lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Digital lettering in a kind of fat marker style colored in bluish-greens. The letters have been extruded and warped back into space in reddish-maroon overwritten in in yellow-green inlines. Everything is outlined in white and set against an irregular mottled grayish-blue background shape. Perched in amongst the letters is seated a small pink bunny with its cheek resting in one paw, looking bored and impatient. The lettering, of course, reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
