A digital artwork of simplistic cartoon-y versions of Glinda and Elphaba from the film & musical Wicked. Glinda has her hand next to Elphaba's face and the latter is holding a broom. There's a small pink rose in-between them. The background is a scratchy texture with pink blending into green. A digital painting of Blake and Drew from the Inside no 9 episode The Trolley Problem except Drew is 22 here instead. They're depicted in an embrace, Blake has his arms around Drew's shoulders and waist, Drew has his hand curled over his mouth and a single tear coming from his eye. Drew is curled up with his bare foot perched on Blake's leg. The background is made up of abstract looking curtains enveloping the two figures. A collection of 9 colourful portraits of the character Feathers McGraw in various disguises from the Wallace and Gromit film Vengeance Most Fowl. A digital painting of Norbot and Gromit from Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Norbot is in the foreground holding a watering can with a maniacal smile, there's Wallace's bloody hand below him. Gromit is the background, standing ominously with a bat covered in nails.
