  • Digital colored pencil illustration of five figures with a cyan, magenta, and gold color palette. 

    Two figures embrace in the upper left corner. The first figure is a thin naked trans femme Inuit person with light skin and long dark hair, with her left arm draped around her partner's neck. She has a combination of traditional masculine and feminine geometric Inuit tattoos on her face, hands, and forearms. A transgender symbol tattoo is on her upper right deltoid. She has several silver ear piercings. She is gazing softly down at an augmentative and alternative communication device with a magenta case, that is resting on her partner's shoulder. Her partner is a muscular dark skinned Black woman who has her arms wrapped around her partner's waist and butt. Her hair is kinky in a partial afro, with protective braids running down the sides of her head and around her ears, adorned with gold beads. A gold cochlear implant is visible around her left ear. She has gold ear piercings, septum piercing, and rings on her fingers. A continuous glucose monitor with a blue adhesive is on her left upper arm. 

    On the right side, a skinny Polynesian man with thick black hair with grey streaks sits on the lap of a fat naked lighter-skinned Black woman with Bantu knots. Both are wearing masks. The man's left wrist and hand are significantly contracted in a flexor pattern, and his arms cross gently over his lap. He has a shibari harness in magenta rope tied across his upper chest and an intricate pattern loosely binding his legs. He wears cyan boxer briefs. There is a traditional Polynesian armband tattoo on his left arm. The woman's large arms wrap softly over his chest with her hands clasped. On her right hand, she is wearing a grey carpometacarpal splint with straps across the back of her hand and gold extension splints on two fingers. She is wearing gold necklaces and hoop earrings. There is light cyan KT tape for shoulder stabilization on her left shoulder. 

    In the foreground, a midsize Hispanic trans masc with a warm brown skin tone lays on his belly, leaning on his elbows and looking down at his phone. The phone shows the home screen of the Disabled Parts website. Their legs are kicked up, and they have a lower leg prosthetic with a blue socket, gold pylon, and tan foot. He has a short, black curly mullet and mustache. He has several tattoos over his body, including a testosterone chemical symbol, a shark, a cow skull under his top surgery scars, and a Mexican eagle fighting a snake. They have faint stretchmarks on their hips, stomach, and upper arms. Light from the phone illuminates his face. Under the person, the artist's signature reads "Finley Baker '26."
