A watercolor painting of Jasper William Johnson, more commonly known by his artist name "Lil Shine," in a courtroom setting with a suit-wearing defense attorney by his side. There are also two styrofoam cups stacked on top of each other placed closely to Lil Shine, on the table he and his lawyer sit near. The double-cup is significant, as it is imagery closely associated with the recreational narcotic beverage colloquially referred to as "lean." Behind the pair are a myriad of individuals in attendance of the courtroom proceedings, with many holding signs with "Free Lil Shine" written on them. Behind that crowd is a masked individual spray painting the letters "GRDS" on the courtroom walls, which serves as the only reference to the title of the album. The image is rife with what appears to be purple stains, likely due to the color being one most associated with “lean.” In addition to these stains, the image has an element of distortion and mild warping present throughout, creating a hazy atmosphere.

The album cover for "Sulfur Surfer" by Bladee. The image is very chaotic visually, featuring Bladee in corpse paint set against a backdrop of hardly legible graffiti. The colors are vibrant, almost iridescent with the rainbow color palette. In the top right corner, you can see the album title, and in the bottom left corner you can see the artist name. This is hard to see, however, due to the miniscule font utilized.

Rapper Nathaniel Ritchie and producer Parker Corey of the rap group By Storm performing at the Cat's Cradle Back Room. The photo is quite intimate, due to being taken from the front row of the venue. The room is quite dark, with only two flashing and strobing lights providing most of the illumination.
