Hey folks!

First pic: A bluish-white background showing a photograph of a whole bunch of bubbles. In front of the bubble is a drawn figure who kind of looks like he's made of six q-tips: one vertical, and two across horizontally, with the buds of the first q-tip making the "hands" and the buds of the second, lower q-tip making the "feet." The bud on top of the vertical q-tip has a simple face drawn on it, two eyes and an open mouth. There are sweat beads flying from its head. The overall effect is a very worried q-tip person.  Second pic: A picture of MC Serch on the left and Prime Minister Pete Nice on the right, both of 3rd Bass. MC Serch has his back to us. He is tinted green and has tall curly hair that has been shaved on the sides. On the back of his head/neck "3rd Bass" has been shaved into his hair. Pete Nice is tinted purple and is facing us. His mouth is obscured by the big cigar he's holding in his mouth. The background is dark orange.
