Multicolored illustration of a black, brown, green and red rooster crowing on top of a wooden fence. In the background are dark green marijuana plants, medium green hills and a sunrise in shades of yellow and orange.

The illustration is bordered in blue and black The artists' names and copyright information are at the bottom of the card in black print. This is one of several images the artists collaborated on, featuring a series of iconic marijuana brand label parodies they called the California Homegrowers Association. The fake brands they created were illustrations inspired by the California produce crate-style agricultural labels of the day. Text on the postcard verso is in black print.
