Reboosting this since twitter is rolling out an update where retweets themselves are now their own tab, making it harder for people to support artist visibility. The media tab also now defaults to videos first before photos which doesn't help either!

Shaded & Glazed cuz F✨ckGenAI, but also, it shrunk the image so the only people who'll appreciate the full res is anyone I can show my iPad to or my family via the print I'm making for them. An artless world is what we all get cuz we ain't hate GenAI enough.

Couple weeks ago, our family suffered a painful loss, and I wanted to create a gift for them that could maybe commemorate the absolute joy that was having Bella in our lives for so many years. She was the only dog I liked, and I'll cherish her forever. Descanza en paz, Bella.

And lastly, thx to my inner kid, who kept telling me he wants to create even if it isn't for anyone else, even if it's not for money, because at the end of the day, art is human expression, and the result of creating art is you. I'm hype for the next exciting illustration!🩵🩷💛

Special thanks to @jadelaw.bsky.social for helping me, directly & indirectly, believe in myself and my capacity to make "good" art, subjective as that adjective may be. Your "just keep going" line kept ringing in my head as I dipped into a new mental low earlier this year, so I kept going!

OFF RIP The biggest thank you to the biggest inspiration for many of us artists: #AkiraToriyama, my goat, rest in peace, and thank you for a childhood filled with excitement, thrill and something to look up to when shit was bleak. I stay forever young in my heart thanks to you.

Early WIP for the timelapse of the AbsolutMoves Broly illustration. Creating a bit of a glitchy vectorheart vibe for the lil pop-up blurbs where i describe my thought process along the vid. Part of this is also to ruin GenAI’s capacity to “blanket-train” on the whole video.

Small thing I worked on to practice logo animations with @procreate.com Dreams during times that I didn’t have PC access to continue my Broly illustration. I love this app, and despite its current limitations, I’m super excited to grow along with it! It’s too charming.

I was in multiple rooms at GDC where management of games studios let their hair down and said "everyone's using it, gamers hate it so we just have to hide it now", but none were actually able to explain if and how AI were making games faster to develop or better at all

AT LAST Entry #0 for my #AbsolutMoves Series, celebrating my favorite moves in games. This edition in particular is a love letter to the artists, art styles & art that made me want to be an artist some day. And a very special thx to @jadelaw.bsky.social for reigniting my love for 2D Art!🥲

Somewhere within the next 24hrs, I’ll share the finalized version, at last. To the GenAI thieves salivating at the idea of training on my work from this piece, know that it’ll already be glazed and shaded. And even if you steal my labor, you’ll still fail to AI-Generate My Art.

And he did so while having fun, giving many symbols like family, the youth, our ancestors, our markets, our music, our land, our history, our plights, and our passion a moment of focus during the show, rather than himself. The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate (truly) Is Love.

All US Citizens🇺🇸 = Americans🌎. But, All Americans 🌎 ≠ US Citizens🇺🇸 . Cuz “being American” has nothing to do w/being a US Citizen; It is something equally shared by the Latin American countries Bad Bunny, an American, mentioned, and not something uniquely special of the US.

A true show of love for international union. And for those that can’t read Puerto Rican inflections, he did so “medio encojona’o” (w/an attitude) cuz he’s tired of all the abject hate we see in the US towards anyone who isn’t a US citizen. Let’s remember elementary school:

Ryan Morales | Relativist | RelativRyan @relativryan.com · 09/02/2026
My pride is infinite. Bad Bunny made the Halftime Show one that expresses everything great about being Puerto Rican🇵🇷, one that comments on the many issues that plague our island, and wrapped it up w/a REMINDER that “America” goes from North-to-Central-to-South, not just the US.

I realize this post, albeit real (I was spitting out blood and feeling pretty much obliterated, worried I’d die fr), was pretty grim. So, to ease concerns: I am alive, I am ok-ish, and I will be back everywhere soon. Stay tuned for new art ❤️💚💙 Oh and also, as of Jan 22nd:

Give grace, but don’t let ppl cross your boundaries. Set boundaries, but don’t lock yourself out of healthy, intimate connection, or reconnection. Embrace intimacy as it builds from the ground, but don’t overextend your grace for minimum effort. Pay attention.

Basically, I struggle to find a morally good self-fulfilling reason for having children. It feels selfish no matter how I slice it cuz the kids don’t get to approve or reject the offer to exist. So to be able to have kids, I change the lens by which I engage with it.
