Image shows Jam. She's sitting down with a big mug of a drink with a lovely layer of whipped cream on top. She's quietly looking to the side, her black clothes standing out against the dark burgundy wall behind her. She has large, deep red rimmed glasses and she's wearing a black bakerboy hat with gold chain detailing on the cap.
