The illustration shows a large black bordered horizontal rectangle, inside which is a tropical blue green and gold speckled background. There are stencil shapes of flower petals and small white and drawn circles in the top right and bottom left corners. Across the center of the art is the word reflection cut out of aluminum foil. Below is the identical word cut from white paper, which is inverted as in reflection.

The illustration shows a vertical black bordered rectangle inside which at the top of the page, there is a pencil drawing of a full moon shining through the clouds of a night sky. On the right stands a small lighthouse on top of a cliff, which rises out of the ocean, with an horizon line stretching out from right to left. Appearing through the surface of the ocean is the tip of a small white iceberg, with waves gently surrounding it. As we move down the page, the illustration becomes divided and a now colorful, and complex iceberg, much bigger, is revealed below the surface of the ocean. It is covered by an intricate street map using bright orange and lime green for numbers, hidden words symbols and shapes, and a brilliant blue arrow twisting and turning throughout.

The illustration shows a large black bordered square, inside which a highly detailed line drawing of a black crow stands on the ground with its head down by its claws. The tail feathers have been colored in with black spray paint, which while wet has run down towards the bottom of the illustration. Through the crow's outline and around it are defined brushstrokes in bright greens, light blues and crimson. In the top left corner is a bright orange painted rectangle, which also slightly ran down the image while still wet. Stenciled onto the orange rectangle is the word "Caw" in solid black lettering.
