Illustrated butch ginger tabby cat with a cane. Its wearing a denim vest, lavender crown and a moon choker necklace. Surrounding the cat are tarot cards representing queerness, therapy, disability and Black Lives Matter.
Illustrated deer with antlers adorned in stars and music notes, wearing a pearl necklace with a pendant made of amethyst crystal and markings of all the astrological signs.
Illustrated she-bat hangs upside down with her iced coffee right side up. She wears lipstick, bracelets and floral clips. Draped over the starry branch from where she hangs are a pendant necklace and a red purse.
Illustrated crow framed by a waning crescent moon and stars. Above the crow’s head floats a witch's hat and held in its talons is a wooden wand topped by a garnet crystal stone.
Illustrated hedgehog wearing an acorn hat, they lay on their back while gleefully eating a tomato.
Illustrated fierce alicorn (a winged unicorn) flies out from behind a horseshoe inscribed with BLM. She has a prosthetic left front leg.
An illustrated sapphic beaver sits, blowing colourful bubbles, and wears heart-shaped sunglasses. She has painted nails, and on one hand, two of her nails are shorter than the others.
