A man posing, holding a pipe wrench over his shoulder, and poster-style text below

Against a bright blue sky with light clouds, a dark skinned man with short hair, glasses and a trimmed goatee is shown from the waist up, posing, holding a large pipe wrench over his shoulder. He stands, turned slightly to the right looking away. He wears a toolbelt with tools, and suspenders over a white jumpsuit, with an orange stripe down the arm, and his hair is styled to a triangular point in front at the top of his head. Below, a block of text in orange reads, “MECHANICS, ELECTRICIANS, HACKERS, RAPPERS, ARTISTS / DANCERS, SHOOTERS, 3PT SPECIALISTS, ETC. APPLY WITHIN. / ENLIST! / HOMECOMING MOTHERSHIP DEFENSE SQUADRON”.
