Fingerprint: outlaw title split around central sniper figure: out in camouflage pattern block letters on left, law on right; fair-haired man in dark sunglasses and tactical vest cheek to scoped rifle stock aiming downward; shirtless muscular long-haired man in blue jeans leaping forward with rifle and ammunition belt slung across torso; photographic insets showing grinning thumbs-up portrait and black-clad tactical figures with mohawk
The title is split in two by a sniper: OUT in camouflage block letters on the left, LAW on the right, with a blond man in sunglasses aiming a scoped rifle filling the gap between the words. Second most memorable is the leaping shirtless long-haired gunman in blue jeans, ammunition belt swinging, rifle held upright. Two photographic insets break up the painted sky: a grinning thumbs-up portrait at bottom left over an orange sunset skyline, and a white-backed panel of two black-clad tactical figures, one wearing a prominent black mohawk.

A painted action-art backglass dominated by a bright blue sky with pale clouds, overlaid with three inset panels and three human figures. Across the top the title is split around the central figure: block capital letters reading OUT on the left and LAW on the right, each letter filled with a red, orange, yellow and magenta camouflage pattern and edged with a white keyline plus a black shadow. The central figure is a fair-haired man in dark sunglasses and a black tactical vest, cheek to the stock of a long scoped rifle, aiming towards the lower left. Below him a shirtless, muscular, long black-haired man in blue jeans and a chest harness leaps forward holding an AK-style rifle in one hand, a belt of ammunition looping across his body. Two photographic insets sit low: at bottom left a shirtless grinning man with long dark hair and a headband giving a thumbs-up against an orange sunset and dark city skyline, and at right two figures in dark tactical gear, one with a tall black mohawk, against a white-and-cyan backdrop. The lower centre fades into streaky orange, white and black brushwork.
