Hello #PortfolioDay I'm Adam and I am a character designer and storyboard artist. Take a look at this character I've been working on for a bit. Open to freelance and contract work, hire me for your projects 😊

If you're a solo dev/small indie team looking for art or logos please don't turn to genAI. I would honestly rather folks reach out to a designer and offer like rev share alongside a smaller up front cost to get something made by a person.

Hell email me and we'll chat. Don't turn to the slop machine

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

The world isn't conditioned to allow people to say they are many different things. We are either A, B or C. I refuse to play into the culture war games, I love my culture and where I come from. And I think all of us sharing that with each other serves to bring us closer as one human race.

I come from the people who were concurred and people who were on a conquest. Overtime, I learned to accept that I don't need to feel bad for just saying, I am Latino. That's it. Our cultures are what bring us together and it goes beyond categorizing ourselves based on outward appearances.

My grandparents were Taino, and for some reason I always get the "You don't like -" So what do people like me look like? I'm mixed with so many things that I never felt like I belonged in any specific category. Yet people want to make you feel bad for not claiming you are A, B or C.

I learned that I was also part Navajo, yet I cannot claim that I am on any documents because my family was not officially part of the tribe and because I don't meet a certain percentage requirement to state as such. Imaging living in a world where you have to constantly prove you exist.

I am Puerto Rican but throughout my life, I often find myself needed to "prove" that I am who I am. There are people who, for whatever reason, want to "claim" you based on outward appearance rather than the culture you grew up in. We are put in categories that are made up to divide us.

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Thought I'd talk about my experience navigating societal constructs and the disillusion of a tribalistic nature that has evolved in the most negative way.

TOMORROW Tuesday, October 14th IS #PORTFOLIODAY!

Want to combat AI scraping? Try this:
🔸Nightshade and Glaze your images
🔸Images should be web-sized and watermarked
🔸Crop images shared to social media
🔸Keep your portfolio behind a password or paywall

Good luck!💛

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Ahhh!!! Thank you so much 🥹🙏
Trying to improve the traditional skills, hopefully I can catch up soon to my digital skill!

Sketchbook Sunday!

The pages in my sketchbook are getting heavier due to all the ink 😅 Anyways finally going back and coloring some of these, I do need more in between colors for dynamic shading!

Just announced at NYCC: I’m writing a KNOW YOUR RIGHTS comic with artist @davidhahn.bsky.social in partnership with @nycschools.bsky.social #civicsforall comics program, covering and explaining student rights when it comes to immigration enforcement.

Good time to share this again. You can make these yourself BUT I also just make them too. It's a label sheet with 72 little tiny 100% human made labels on it. They're $2 a sheet and I'll make you as many sheets as you want: shop.aimeecozza.com/product/100-...

I actually have FIVE #stickers for sale, but I don't plug all of them

-Stop Forcing AI Into Every Fucking Thing
-ICE Go Home
-Monetize Your Depression
-Billy Quizboy & Pete White (Venture Bros) Tarot Cards

It'd be easier if I had, like, a store or something, but nah... DM me if you want one

Dropped today! My cover for the new SMILE series from @idwpublishing.com

So excited to be a small part of this & to see the franchise take on new life from the amazing @hannahrosemay.bsky.social, Miriana Puglia, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @heatherantos.bsky.social 🩸

Look for it FEBRUARY 2026
