Silhouetted man in a fedora sitting alone at a smoky bar.
Three fish swimming underwater, two patterned in plaid and one in an ornate paisley design.
Clown figure inside an open bank vault holding a “Sucker” sign, with the words “There was never any money” above.
Two men talking beneath a streetlamp on a rain-soaked city street at night.
Coffee mug reading “Stronger Than Your Regrets” beside a fedora and black rose on a rainy noir street.
Dark writer’s office with a typewriter, story notes pinned to the wall, crumpled paper, and a manuscript with a bullet hole on the floor.
