a photo of a watercolour painting. a semi-translucent anthro fish-creature with a long neck stands on red wood. its back is facing the viewer, showing a large tail with a dorsal fin at the base and another fin at the end. it has digitigrade legs and webbed fingers. it stares at the viewer with a single red eye. dirty, bloody water swirls around the base of its neck. it's in front of an abstract background of muddy dirty colours. in the top left, hand-written text reads 'is there a way out of here?', a lyric from Ada Rook's song 'otherworld'.

it's called 'rotten/scrap wood/meat'. i painted without a sketch, just a feeling, so its wonky. (insert endearing giggle).

![A reference sheet in the form of a faux textbook cover.
The left half of the image is the front cover and the right hand of the image is the back cover.

The book is titled "Introduction to Silly Theory" and it is written by F. S. Ajak.

The publisher logo is an at sign.
An arrow separating the author name and title points to Ajak's right paw.
On the back cover is the full body view of Ajak.
It is made up of state node circles and blobs connected by arrows as well as characters labelling every arrow.
It is looking at the reader with its right paw waving and its left arm outstretched.
Its eyes is the head node's label, "0O".
Its maw is a self-pointing arrow from the head labelled "w".
On the front cover under the title is the flipped wireframe version of the Ajak from the back cover.
On the side of the front cover is Ajak's regex:
#(awo*|w(e[aow]*|:3[`\^',]*|!?[yeag]*)|hm+)

In the lower left there is Ajak from the torso up, belly laughing.
Behind it is text that matches the regex #wk[wk]*
In the lowest left corner there is a barcode for the ISBN, 978-0141975863.
In the lowest right corner there are color swatches with Ajak's left feet repeated above them in two other color palettes.
Above those, the text says: "Colors are flexible. See and follow @happyautomata.com on Bluesky."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m2trpy3v7q5h5dsfhgt5wyy6/bafkreiazslb5lvhdfuh4xe7hlollmfjftwrxrc6orwqz3k3ml5sv6ostmq)
