Artwork

a digitally edited image of a hip arthrogram, where contrast dye is injected into the hip for an MRI. It shows the bones of the hip and pelvis, and a dark black needle showing up vividly against the gray of the bones. The editing makes the image look like a glitch is breaking it up, and grainy static obscures it a little further. in clear text over the image reads "We can do nothing for you" in quotes. — “We Can Do Nothing For You”

Two heads, two arms, two partial torsos and two legs with leg hair. the upright head has an open mouth with teeth tumbling from the bottom jaw, beneath it and upside-down the other head has a wide but closed mouth, fangs protruding and three tongues slithering out. the marks on the torsos suggest top surgery — What Isn’t Cold Sensitive?

a pen sketch on white paper of an abstract figure with asymmetrical and heavy lidded eyes, a mouth obscured by overlapping triangles, and a skull partially open to show an exposed brain. the figure's torso is fairly normal (not distorted) and the chest has squiggly top surgery scars. the right arm is reaching up to the left shoulder, which is tearing away and down, beneath the tear is an abstract wing rather than a second arm. the figure's genitals are not visible, obscured under heavy squiggle pen marks. the figure's legs are mostly undistorted, but are kicked up and out to the side in awkward ways beneath the knee. — A Steep Trail Down the Hillside

January 2021
Some probably very cool people tagged Nancy Pelosi’s house with this message in January of 2021. As usually happens when cool people do cool things, many leftists rushed to disavow it as a false flag. One of the reasons given for this was that the anarchy-A they tagged wasn’t the style that real anarchists preferred. I drew this up in solidarity with the action and did my best to replicate the style of their anarchy-A.
