A simple, black-and-white line drawing featuring two characters side by side. On the left is a character resembling Cousin Itt from The Addams Family. He is drawn as a tall, column-shaped figure entirely covered in long, wavy hair that flows from the top of his head to his feet. He wears a small round hat and glasses that sit over his hair, the only elements distinguishing his face. To the right is a cartoon-like girl with flowing hair that extends outward in large, rounded curls, taking up most of her figure. Her face is small and centred within her hair, with closed eyes and a gentle, content expression. The waves of her hair mirror Cousin Itt’s, creating a visual connection between the two characters.

What Hollywood and Disney don’t tell you about true love. In 426 words on The Davis Daily.

This image is a hand-drawn illustration of a blackbird in mid-flight. The bird has its wings spread wide, as though gliding through the air. The bird's body is primarily shaded in black, with hints of subtle red and yellow highlights visible on the underwing. The bird's eye is small but clearly defined, and its beak is thin and slightly curved. The pose of the blackbird suggests a graceful motion, as if it’s soaring effortlessly through the sky.

A 565 word memorial of Jacqueline Jane Davis and the life lessons she left behind.

This image is a hand-drawn illustration of a human eye. The iris is light blue, shading gives it a sense of depth. The pupil is solid black, centred within the iris. Two small white circles suggest light reflecting off the pupil. The sclera, or white part of the eye, has sporadic red, jagged lines, indicating the eye is bloodshot. Short, thin eyelashes extend outwards from the upper and lower lids of the eye. The lashes are more prominent on the upper lid.

923 words about the purpose of adversity, post-traumatic growth, and how to see the silver lining.

This image is a simple line drawing of a cannabis leaf. The leaf features seven distinct, pointed leaflets arranged in a fan shape, with each leaflet having serrated edges. The leaflets taper to a sharp point at the end, with the central leaflet being the longest. The drawing is primarily outlined in a fine, black line, with subtle green shading that adds a bit of depth to the otherwise minimalistic design.

A black and white hand-drawn sketch of a rugged work boot. The boot features a thick, treaded sole for durability and traction. The upper part of the boot includes detailed stitching and metal eyelets, which the laces are threaded through. The boot's collar is padded for added comfort, and there is a small loop at the back of the collar, likely used for pulling the boot on. The drawing is minimalistic but captures the characteristics of a heavy-duty work boot, symbolizing toughness and practicality.

A no bullshit approach to living and working

The Blue-Collar Method™ is a practical philosophy on life, work, and living well. Summed up in 645 words on The Davis Daily.

An hourglass shows the sands of time running out. Only a quarter of the sand remains within the top section of the hourglass. Three-quarters of the sand has piled up within the bottom section. The sand piles are shaped like teardrops. Mirroring each other and connected by a thin line of sand, like hands of death and life reaching for each other. The hourglass is held upright within a container. The top of the container is a layer of four flat bases, each one smaller in diameter than the other, creating a step-like platform. The bottom of the container is the same construction and shape as the top. The sides of the container are two pillars. Ornate in design but misshapen, as if reflecting life’s imperfections.
