Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

So yeah, I also made this. But decided to take it with eyes closed. Luck of the draw. And yes, I'm hopeful for so many things I'm working hard on to bear fruit in 2026. So damn sure it fits. 🍀

Not sure how im gonna manage yet but one of my key purposes for 2026 is to make at least one analog piece per month, both to take a much needed break from digital and to have hard evidence I don’t need to prompt my drawings, as if :P

First advice for 2026 (goes for me as well) ☝️

All I (you? us?) want for 2026 is — 🎈💥

Behold, why the tilde N (Ñ) is sooo important in Spanish 🍑

How I'm leaving 2025 behind

I like the implicit rhythm and parity of the numbers 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣, anything that sets me on a better year start in all counts is the lifesaver I cling to 🛟✊

It's time for the passing year! ✨🌟✨Happy new year!!✨🌟✨ Wishing you the best as always, health and success for you through 2026! Keep it up!

All I (you? us?) want for 2026 is — 🎈💥

Non-obscure choice I know but for me Dire Straits’s Money For Nothing is the quintessential MTV video. Not just for mentioning MTV directly in the lyrics but also because of its then-revolutionary computer graphics —something previously unseen anywhere really.

And 30 years after… are we any better? 🥲

Well past midninght but posting this now, tomorrow I'll probably forget. Have a great end of the year.

2025 Top 10 Whatever This is something I’ve been doing for a few years now - the PLUGOarts Top 10 Whatever! 2025 Edition

Este año '¡Astrid!' por fin vio la luz y me hace MUY FELIZ ver lo mucho que está gustando. Hasta me escribió un padre que se lo compró a sus hijos y luego lo leyó él y acabó llorando 😭 Ha sido el año de retomar animación y empezar nuevos proyectos que espero poder desarrollar en 2026 ❤ #artvsartist

Well after a tumultous and rather blah Christmas (how does panic buying a fridge sound to you?) Here's finally an #artvsartist for 2025. Much of what I've done this year won't likely be revealed until the next, however. But I've been busy. 😅

Je suis en train de terminer mon gros récapitulatif de 2025 et j'aime toujours aller voir ceux des années précédentes pour voir où j'étais à la même période. Je dessine un doodle par infolettre par mois et après quatre ans, j'en ai une couple de pas pires. Voici ceux de 2023 et 2024:

WIP of the dumbass comic cover. I jammed my pen in my ear real far so I can't finish drawing until I get it outta there

I just finished Mauricio de Sousa's autobiography some days ago. The most successful cartoonist businessman in Latin America at large. Me be like: YES PLEASE 🤞🕯️

This strip started as a riff on classic ’80s G.I. Joe PSAs. I needed kids to “learn the lesson,” so I reached out to Tauhid Bondia about using Miles and Kevin from Crabgrass. He kindly said yes! I colored it to mimic ’80s cel animation: grain, shadows, painted backgrounds, & am pretty happy with it.

The 70s. Termite Terrace is closed. Its residents either dead, retired, or moved on to other projects. But their creations, the Looney Tunes, lived on in some form or another to become inescapable cultural icons. This is the story of Bugs Bunny and pals and their legacy. youtu.be/GmypUwG6x2s

Coming into 2026 like

Fred Schroeder and @davekellett.bsky.social 's Stripped documentary featured quite a number of "last printed issue" moments of American newspapers thus ending an era for comics/cartoonists, most have had to reinvent themselves ever since. And nothing was ever going to be the same. 🥲

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Likes mean nothing. Engagement means everything. My other profiles on X (no longer existing) and IG (barely there) never made great waves for everything I tried to boost them. My follow count here is still modest but I can see and feel how people engage naturally with my stuff. 😊

I finally finished a 54 paged comic I had pending years ago. So much that the first pages are nib inked. I should re-ink them. But for now, inking stage completed.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains. So there was this Swedish dude at art school who had this on tape and — never ever heard anything like it before. Fan of Mr. Claypool's weird bass slapping ever since.

I participated on this, my first "serious" internationally published work. Info on alt texts

Welcome back artists! 🎨✨ Quote post with an old piece that you still like! This "small world" piece from 10+ years ago, when I was way less skilled that I am today, yet the piece somehow still works.

Anonymous artists who actually worked on the SpongeBob TV show: more likely than not, still barely holding 🥲 Well-connected art circle and galleries dude literally tracing a Spongebob still: nets in $6 million 💰 From 2019, but still. 🤌

Hello Bluesky newcomer artists! This is a fine community overall, just pay attention on how _some_ things roll differently and you'll be fine 👇

TL;DR AI shills don’t know or care why people connect with art. Their experience of art is as little posts scrolling by with numbers affixed to them, and they think that’s all there is. Sad, clueless dilettantes at life.

Una tira navideña de la navidad ¡feliz Navidad! #comics #drawings #cartoons #piñata #christmasdecorating

Thanks Mhuyo for an excuse to finally display these pieces of Catalan Nadal (Christmas) scatology I got on a trip to Barcelona years ago. The kid alongside the Caga Tío is a caganer - yes, a kid taking a dump, and it’s customary to put it on the Nativity scene. More in alt texts 🎄💩

Quick news from my side: I've just released Chapter 12 of the Wormworld Saga. You can read it for free at: wormworldsaga.com I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This is the way

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Newsletter-making friends: Considering moving yours from Substack? Arguably the most complete site on the matter. I'm currently using a Wordpress subdomain and a plugin named MailPoet, but also considering moving the whole thing to Ghost next year. My whole site, not just the newsletter.

Merry Christmas Eve! I revived the tradition of making stamps and cards, this year @ronithedog.bsky.social and I are featured on the stamps. Traditional. Watercolor.

Tamales are a Mesoamerican food staple and here 🇨🇷 they have become part and symbol of Christmas. In my latest newsletter.alzamon.com I show how we do ours. Have yourself a merry (and tasty) Christmas with those you love. 🎄🫔

Happy holidays to all of my friends out there! ❤️ 📖🎁

I'm making my last trip to the post office today! I'll be around during the holidays so I'm keeping my shop open. Not everything has to be centered around Christmas gifts, right? This is why my 20% off sale is running until January. shop.cabfolio.com As always, shop indie, shop local, stay cool 😘

So, first time in _years_ I take back my watercolors and do a traditional painting. Maybe I still got it. 🥹 I want to make at least one such thing a month as a much needed break from digital, and to have something to show beyond pixels on a screen.

One of my best longtime friends is a political/editorial cartoonist. I always say to him we just couldn't do each other's work, ever. He agrees 😅

Many among my peers consider personal websites a relic of the past. Why bother if no one ever gets off FB/Instagram et al. And there are also us stubborn old schoolers who refuse to see the thing die off. I won a Geocities contest once to see this phoenix rise gives me warm feelings 🤗

Haven't tried Krita yet (too used to CSP) but David proves here a case of "it's not the tool, it's what you do with it". 🎨✨

"Into anime" is quite a stretch since we didn't call it like that back then, but Isao Takahata's adaptation of Johanna Spiri's Heidi was chronologically my first foray. Majinga / Mazinger Z came later and loved it too, but I'm more into people than robots.
