Hey folks!

First pic: A colorful drawing of the heads of three young Black men, surrounded by images of the jungle along the bottom (grass, trees, a camel, a lion) and a city skyline above them. Beyond the sklyine is a big purple volcano, erupting. Also above them is a Black fairy-like creature with butterfly wings. Around the edges of the picture are planets.  Second pic: A black and white photo of Roy Orbison, a white man with dark sunglasses. It's a close up of his face, with a hand next to it. This photo occupies the upper left side; on the lower right, is the same photo but upside down.
