Para mí va tanto por algo cultural como económico. Las culturas anglo sabiéndose dominantes y no dominadas desde siempre se han acostumbrado a que el resto del mundo se amolde a ellas, y no al revés. Y nosotros, siempre necesitados de su business y dinero, actuamos acorde. 🥹

Mi experiencia más cercana con estas cosas fue usarlas para rotular mis cintas de casete (piratas, obvio). Pasar de los garabatos a mano a esto se veía super pro ✨😎

Actually I'm more worried of the side effects in politics and the economy. If we're already living in Idiocracy I'd rather not think about what comes next.

On a more positive side, history is made of cycles and pendulum swings. Maybe actual intelligence will be cool again.

This, hard agree.

Social media is a fleeting distraction at best and a scam at worst. Bending yourself over backwards to produce “content“ which will be but a 2-second scroll of someone number 2’ing in a restroom doesn’t strike me as a sane strategy, not a sustainable one. 🧻

I went the old schooler route and built me a couple of portfolio sites which barely anyone visits 😅 and yeah we’re not in the 90s anymore, if you’re not present in the big social hubs keeping most audience hostage (cough, Meta, cough) you might be as well not existing. This sucks ofc.

Ce que je vois ici c'est un exercice supreme en patience qu'il me faut 🥹 Même la brilliance de la peinture sur les murs face à l'escalier est si bien réussi, bravo 😍

Dragones

There's a saying in my culture that roughly translates to "A thief who steals from another thief gets a hundred years of forgiveness".

The forgiveness chart must be going gangbusters mad then, lol.

Funny how from the perspective of a teenager / early 20s, getting to your 50s and being dead is basically the same thing.

And then, life comes at you fast 🫠

Too bad "improving empathy and kindness among people" doesn't seem to move the needle on quarterly sales reports, apparently. 🥲

Today in things we should furiously copy from overseas 🥹

Urasawa-san knows. 🙏

There’s a state of flow and peace you get from using real tools and paper that you don’t get with digital.

Computers absorb too much of our time these days. We gotta fight for our chance to embrace our “happy accidents” as Bob Ross used to say. 🎨

How I arrived on Bluesky:

May 16, 2023. Had to be patient enough to be handed down an invite code. Those were kind of scarce. But I think that helped shape this thing into *not* a clone of that ex-bird place. It's everything else what counts.

Also, how I got my exact date:

Ah sí, cuando el cuñao dice que flipa con las "caricaturas del Feisbú" y es... eso. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yo es que no hallo ya por donde cogerlo Andrés. Como muchos de mis contactos ahí son de mi época de chico de TI, el que menos se ha vuelto un vendehumo descarado de IA o coaching de esos que se toman fotos con un Ferrari alquilado. Un sinvivir.

Omg like, are these losers 12 or what? My generation didn‘t touch a computer until college and that never stopped us from picking up pencils, papers and do anything with them. Or using digital technology. The real artist will create with whatever she’s got, even if it’s just sticks & stones.

Pugkachu stickers 😍 I‘d so happily trade some of mine

All right first hi #kidlitchat and second I recently finished a graphic novel pitch for a special event on late April. Seriously hoping something comes up this time — it’s my second try at it and want to believe I’ve learned _something_ ever since. 🤞🏻

Graphic - The creative process

Moi j'ai juste fini de terminer un dossier de pitch bd et je vous jure que ça arrivait EXACTEMENT comme ça, même avec trop de mois à l'avance 🥲

We all could use some not-terrible news today, right? 👍🏻

De Clip Studio (lo que más uso) he exportado tiffs a Affinity y de ahí genero archivos con cmyk correcto para impresión. Lo uso desde que era de pago, pero ahora que no lo es tanto mejor para quien quiera probar.

Just realized this is your take on the “are you winning“ meme 😅

A gathering of my local comics authors group at an equally geeky comics store, complete with Pikachu impersonator. Below, the usual troupe of freaks whose some of them also happen to be longtime meatspace friends of mine. / San Jose, Costa Rica, March 1, 2026.

So, this happened today - the local comics group I’m part of gathered to deliver the third edition of a collective book.

Ours is often a solitary job and it’s great to gather in meatspace and not feel yourself alone against the world, specially in these times. Support your local freaks tribe. 🤓

Thing is, the only countries that could actually do something like that —China, Europe— are not interested to mess with like that — yet. The rest of us can only sit, watch and suffer through it like a passing kidney stone 🥲

An assortment of handmade stickers featuring my kid characters in various poses. The character stickers feature a qr code pointing to my own website. And the rest are Valentines spinoffs I decided to release for stock purposes.

So yeah everything is still terrible but I'm heading to an event of my local artists group tomorrow and decided to reprint my sets of silly stickers to see who's up for an exchange, or best yet sell them at $2 each. About 3.15" x 3.15". The poly paper base looks great on these.

Even me who put the learning on hold because reasons and haven’t gone beyond basic-basic Japanese so far can spot what’s wrong here.

The nerve of those willing to move with scams like these.

Y bué, nos quedamos en el gueto este que total somos cuatro gatos en comparación 🙃

Haha, go you! I’m just finishing the pitch package thing that had me so tangled on and I definitely want to try my hand at Amelia and the gang for a change :)
