Enjoy the good vibes!

Watercolor illustration of several stylized planktonic microorganisms on a soft pink wash background, including a large orange copepod at the center and a green copepod above it, and two smaller larval plankton to the right. On the left, hand-drawn blue text reads in Romanian: "Cea mai bune prictene ->" (Best friends). The whole image has painted bubbles and splatters.

Illustration of two stylized mites floating on water inside a walnut shell boat that doubles as a bathtub. The yellow-and-blue mite on the left and the purple mite wearing a top hat on the right are both drinking hot beverages from mugs decorated with hearts. The purple mite is also holding a small spiral notebook.

One mite wears a sun hat, the other wears a blue cap backward with a speech bubble saying in French: "avant, mon esprit était flou" (Before, my mind was blurry).
