Hey folks!

First pic: Black and white photos of three young Black men, arranged in a circle as if you are on the ground and they are looking down at you from above. The background is very bright yellow. There are hand drawn flower shapes in blue and orange arranged around them. Second pic: A red background. At the top in black reads "FUGAZI" and along the bottom in the same font "13 SONGS."
