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Why write and create when you're an outdated human using archaic tools: read 436 words prompted by the brain behind The Davis Daily.

This is a line drawing of a man casually leaning against a wall. His hands are tucked into the pockets of his pants. Legs are crossed at the ankles, with the right foot standing toe-up in front of the left foot, which is planted flat. The man is wearing a cardigan sweater over a collared shirt. The sweater is open. His faceless head is cocked to the left.

197 words about leaning into life for the fun of it. Read those words on The Davis Daily.

A towering cumulonimbus cloud covers the sky. The cloud has a rounded anvil-shaped top and a dark, shadowy base. A bolt of lightning strikes toward the ground. Rain drops fall alongside the streak of energy.

A high school drama teacher’s lesson about theatre of the mind. In 495 words on The Davis Daily.

An angry teacher yells, “Get out!” She’s standing with her arms raised and spread wide. Her small fists balled up with frustration. The teacher’s head is oversized, exaggerated to reflect how angry she is. Like her skull is filling with fury and is about to explode. Her eyes are gaping, pupils dilated, while her mouth is fixed in a raging grimace.

“Growth is a byproduct of failure.” Get life lessons from an expelled high school student. In 409 words on The Davis Daily.

A quill and a pot of ink are in frame. The quill has a small tear on the upper side nearest the writing tip. A dark line of ink dribbles away from it, like a winding river with a wide bend in the middle. The pot of ink is open, the liquid is so black it drowns out the light. A shadow lines the right side of the pot.
