An image by Judith Joy Ross of a young black boy in a jean jacket with a sweater and collared shirt beneath. The boy stares off into the right side of the composition. The viewer sees both eyes and the features of his face in an almost profile pose. The background is blurred but there appears two men on the right side and a colonnade of trees.

A square black and white image. At the center is an almond shaped elliptical with a person in feathered dress shoots fire like spark trails from an object in their hands. Around the fire the formation of a house shoe of people in variety of poses and costume surround.

In an 8-panel comic part of the series Socialist Grocery by Oli Knowles, Sebastian is first seen sizing up a canvas with their brush while their manager watches. Sebastian Narrates "This week, I've been working on some sign painting for the store - doing a little less shelf stocking. But it means I end up hanging out with all my managers on their smoke breaks.  In the top right panel, Sebastian says, "Hey, did you know Matt was on Conan in 1996?" The manager responds, "Yep. Everyone knows. But did you know I was on a Lego robotics commercial in 1999?" Proceeding to the middle left panel Sebastian on their phone as the manager looks on says, "Wait, I'm looking it up. Youtube has a Lego robotics commercial - but it's from 1997." The manager quips back, "That's not it." Sebastian responds, "I want to watch it anyway." The center middle panel zooms to Sebastian's phone, showing a robot moving through a bathroom. The video narrates, "With new Lego robotics, program and build a car that takes digital photos. With perfect timing!" The middle left panel continues showing Sebastian's phone but now the robot is looking into the camera. A woman appears behind a shower curtain confused in the bottom left panel. In the bottom middle panel, the robot's lens is shown and goes, "SNAP!!" The final panel shows Sebastian holding their phone and their manager looking on, both saying in confusion, "What the fuck?"
