One of the first things I do in any traditional media piece including humans or animals is the eyes. If you fuck up the eyes there’s no point in pushing through, nothing else will make it look alive.

Made a very small A4 painting for a private show a couple of weeks ago, but it was shown digitalized on a much larger scale. Someone fell in love with it and commissioned me to paint it 50x80 cm 🫠 so I finally cut a piece of my giant canson watercolor paper roll and now I’m on the struggle bus

Oh, so everyone is being absolutely batshit crazy about my country on here too. Amazing dehumanization campaign going on right now, came on here trying to escape from the insanity but every post I see is about argentinians being racist or shit people according to ya’ll.
Reflect. Seriously.

Salem got her FeLV vaccine today and took it like a champ ❤️🩹 I’ve been waiting for the vaccine to get here ever since we adopted her. Even though she’s an indoor cat the stray population here is widely infected and we didn’t want to take any chances.

Last world cup I watched only the final match and we won. So this year I’m making the sacrifice of following the score through google and watching no matches to sustain the cábala. So far so good 🇦🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️

A friend commissioned this one for her roommate. Figaro was such a silly, playful, loving cat. He sadly passed away a couple of months ago ❤️🩹 this one is based on their favorite picture of him.

Just got a text from a student at 11 pm on a Thursday asking if I’ve really annulled their exam for plagiarism. Common sense is DEAD, shame has left the building 🤦🏻♀️

My students had their final exam today and I’m sad and angry ):
I’m glad I decided to stop teaching, it was truly disrespectful the level of work they put in, the blatant use of AI, the lying in my face, most of them got there over an hour late. Absolutely heartbreaking.

This is wild, and quite shameless 🫣
There's a pretty wild story unfolding involving one of the world's most popular artists, an up-and-coming watercolor painter, and the New York Knicks. I wanted to try documenting some of it here:

Every time I see a smart post on my instagram timeline it has one of those stupid 🔄 bubbles with one of my friends’ face floating in it, which reminds me I’m luckily surrounded by very intelligent people 🫰🏻

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
![CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)
Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.
Kane: Absolutely not.
For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.
When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wk7ktvs3sld47pgfndy43gyp/bafkreid3oivudz5p3kmcuu6ss3gr2tmy73r3uqe3ljh6h5rxbeax2dcme4)

Bluesky was launched as a Twitter rival — but it's far less popular. Now it's eyeing Reddit for inspiration
"I think the public square is not the direction we want to go in...we're very inspired by companies like Reddit," Bluesky's Rose Wang told CNBC.
