Art vs artist Not gonna lie, this year was hard, I lost my mother in law and one of my dogs, I also expected to get more illustration work. I did get to go to some cool places, paint en plein air, and made more art than I thought I was going to do this year. I hope 2026 treats me a bit better.

A little video of my trip to the snow at Antillanca where I had the time to do a small plein air sketch

Plein air painting at Antillanca back in July.

Goodbye December ❄️ Wishing everyone a beautiful ending to the last day of the year tomorrow and a beautiful start to a new one!!

I went on a short trip with my wife and a friend to El Quisco a couple of weeks ago, I haven't been to the sea in a while, it was lots of fun. I had some time to do this plein air sketch, there was so much to look at! So I had to simplify it to get a simple statement. It took me around 45 minutes.

Doodles' night!

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Skull N°1 Oil on copper. Available for sale. Time to start numbering my skull paintings, they're part of an ongoing series after all. This is the first one, I'm not going back and renaming each painting.

Because capitalism orients people toward profit rather than allowing us to pursue our interests freely, it inevitably separates humans from the creative act. AI art is just the slop frothing up from that gap. jacobin.com/2025/12/ai-s...

This was the process for my illustration: 1. Thumbnails, though I made many more, but I selected this composition. 2. Value sketch, to figure out the contrast. 3. Color rough. 4. Finished piece.

As artists it can feel like there's a pressure to make art faster, more generic, and marketable for a wide audience. Generating art is that idea to an extreme. I think we need to embrace niche art that has thought and care put into it. Not just for clients, but making something only for yourself.
