Submit Dark Art for Kids

Wish I had the time to make this an exhaustive solo effort, but sadly no. If you run across art that seems like it fits with the theme, feel free to submit same as a photo post in the same format you see here. Or submit it as a link and I'll reblog it. Note that author/illustrator of the original work are required.
