A strip at the top of the painting is white, with all white and transparent items; the rest is blue, with areas that have a green background and show the original color of the items.

I put together this page for Punkcake Independent Publishing's latest release, Punkcake Zines Volume 9! Get the full zine here: www.punkcake.org/store/p/punk... And please let me know if you make my beans!

Recipe card with block printed beans and can.
2-3 Tbsp rendered bacon fat, olive oil, or butter
1 onion, finely diced or pureed (or 1/2 tsp onion powder)
1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
1 Tbsp tomato paste (optional)
1 tsp vegetable, beef, or chicken bouillon paste, such as Better Than Bouillon (optional)
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp oregano, preferably Mexican
Generous pinch ancho or cayenne chili powder
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
1-2 Tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar (optional)
Two 15-ounce cans pinto, kidney, or black beans
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey, brandy, or beer
1 tsp lime juice

Heat fat in a heavy-bottomed pot. If using fresh onion and garlic, sweat them.
If using tomato paste and/or bouillon paste, cook out.
Add spices and herbs and warm until fragrant, about a minute.
Deglaze with alcohol. Pour beans, including bean canning liquid, into the pot. Reduce until bean liquid is thickened to close to desired consistency.
Stir in lime juice just after removing from heat. The beans will thicken as they cool. You can mash the beans with a fork or potato masher if yo`u prefer a smoother texture.

Cut It Out Paper, clipper and razor blades, and acrylic on canvas I cut my own hair and shave with safety razors, the most economical option. I never know whether I'm practicing a noble asceticism or treating myself as though I have no value. I made Cut It Out to explore this ambivalence.

A square, gridlike composition of Wahl clipper blades and mixed brands of double-sided razor blades on a background of clipper instructions and razor blade wrappers. Rustlike orange paint mars the grid.

Community Trash 27 2026 Mixed media art waste (acrylic, paper, beads) on canvas For number 27 I did something I very rarely do: add text. Specifically, spelling out snippets of phrases that repeat in my head when I'm anxious. #relatable?

A mixed media collage on canvas. The main colors are red and blue, exploding out from the center. Beads with letters on them spell "WHAT IF YOU'RE WRONG / BUT / MAYBE / BUT / ARE YOU POSITIVE / BUT / HOW CAN WE KNOWWEKNOWWEKNOWWEKNOW..."

Community Trash 26 - made this one for a Secret Santa!

A square abstract art piece, blue at the edges and turning green in the middle. It has many pieces of art waste -- pens, brushes, scraps of material and jewelry -- attached to it.

I've been rereading old journal entries. November 2009 (had just turned 14): "I wore my starfleet uniform made out of long underwear. my mom was like 'you're gonna be so embarrassed don't go out in that' and my dad was like 'OH COOL A STARFLEET UNIFORM AWESOME'"

Ashley continues to organize for Minnesotans and this is one more way you can help, if you're a frequent flyer. And: it's fucking bleak that we have to crowdfund flights for law-abiding people who have been abducted by ICE, taken to another state, released, and given NO help to get home.

Disco Objects (Compulsion), 2025 Origami paper, papier-mache, acrylic, and mirror tile Modular origami and ‘disco objects’ (unconventionally shaped objects with reflective finishes) have long been two of my less serious creative hobbies. Every winter since I was a child, I’ve found myself (cont'd)

Dear artists, it's hard avoiding wondering if what we do is irrelevant or an insult when it's harsh, scary, dangerous & violent out there, but one thing is always true as stone: someone will need what you do, someone won't, & you won't know the difference. Err on the side of hope. Create if u can.

Community Trash #25 (Black Rose) Mixed media art waste (acrylic, spray paint, plastic and wood detritus) on canvas This one is so called because I accidentally made it a similar color scheme to the Thin Lizzy album cover of the same name by Jim Fitpatrick.

An abstract painting on canvas. The background is blue and the foreground is deep purple, dimensional swirls and speckles of red-painted art trash.

Thin Lizzy's Black Rose album cover, which is an illustration of a black rose with red blood drops on it -- a similar color scheme to the trash painting

Everything about AI is the worst thing about AI, but the worst thing for me is its tone of chipper flattery ("You're right!"), a tone that people apparently love to hear directed at them. I feel like a mutant because every time people talk like that to me I start looking for the hidden knife.

Four panel comic, with a lot of negative space in the bottom of the image. The bottoms of the panels together make the shape of the top of a cat.
