A pair of eye glasses sits on a blank background. The frames are blocky, with thick rims and wide, open arms. The lenses are semi-circular in shape; flat along the top and round along the edges and the bottom. Shadows cast along the surface of the lenses, with the right lens being darker than the left. Two small screws can be seen on either side of the frame, attaching the arms to the glasses.

What it takes to keep going when faced with fear and uncertainty: read 252 words on The Davis Daily

This is a collection of hand-sketched retail signs, promotional graphics, and shopping bags. There are nine in total. Each has the word SALE on it in capital letters. The letters are 3D in appearance, as are the graphics themselves. Some drawings are of arrows, pointing in various directions. One is a speech bubble, and another is a tag with string hanging from one end. There is a sign nailed to a pole and a paper bag with looped handles. The most extravagant drawings are jagged, starburst shapes, like something from a comic book, making the word SALE appear more impactful.

From strumming six strings to writing things for a living: reflecting on Mom’s advice in 210 words on The Davis Daily.

A robot head wears a human brain like a hat. The brain is pink, as you’d expect, with black rigid lines firing throughout, acting like brain waves. The robot’s head is grey, like the colour of stainless steel. It has two large, round eyes. Oddly, they are blue and very human-like. The robot doesn’t have a mouth, only two nuts and bolts on either side of a metal plate. The metal plate connects to the robot’s neck, which is made up of multiple rectangular pieces of metal stacked atop each other. The robot is attempting to mimic life, but it only stares back at you soullessly.

Why write and create when you're an outdated human using archaic tools: read 436 words prompted by the brain behind The Davis Daily.

Three ovals with thick, black lines intersect to create the logo for the television show, The Big Bang Theory. Two of the ovals cross in a x shape, while the third oval lies on top, straight up and down. There’s a black circle in the middle of the ovals, another black circle on the oval that’s angled to the left, another black circle on the oval that’s angled to the right, and another black circle on the oval running straight up and down. Below the ovals is the word “bazinga!” in big block letters followed by an exclamation point. A thick black lightning bolt runs horizontal beneath the word bazinga.

How to hit hard with the ‘real’ stuff in your writing and storytelling: read 259 words from the heart of a human on The Davis Daily.

This is a pencil drawing of a single birthday candle. The candle is striped and stands in an oval frame, with shading that darkens towards the edges. It gives the effect that the candle is lighting up the darkness. The flame is drawn with a slight wave to it and gets darker toward the centre where it’s hottest. The candle is melting closest to the flame. Wax drips down toward the base.

One man’s birthday what ifs and what could have been in 295 words on The Davis Daily.

This is a hand-drawn illustration of the Grinch, a fictional character from the story “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The Grinch’s face is green with a fuzzy texture, reflecting his fur. His expression is sly and mischievous, with a long curved smile, upturned eyebrows, and half-lidded, slightly narrowed eyes. He looks cunning and smug with a calculated demeanor. He is wearing a bright red Santa Claus hat trimmed with fluffy white fur. The hat's floppy end is tipped with a white pom-pom, leaning to the left side of his head. The Grinch's head is slightly tilted, as though he is plotting something.
