Amor as Lucha

Hi! I’m Amor as Lucha

Sharing my work and the life that surrounds it, through this burning portal of deep grief and possibility. I’m an artist + coder working to lean into a life of imagination and courage through multiple mediums, rooted in commitment to collective liberation.

🐙🪼Art Links 🪼🐙

I sometimes make videos about art stuff but also whatever else too

Working on an online shop (coming mid Jan ’25)

Here’s a thread where i (briefly) yap on schedule about what having a creative practice teaches me

Cool stuff on the internet

  • Maybe it’s okay to just be sometimes

    If what you share is a tiny little light among many lights (and many voids), in this world:

    Maybe it’s ok to just be a person. Without entertaining, teaching, ie justifying taking up space. Without having to worry about whether whatever you share gets enough views, likes, or comments to prove its worth. Maybe the fact that it comes from you, that it exists in the physical world and does no harm makes it worthy already.

    Maybe it’s okay if whatever you post doesn’t make someone’s feed prettier or more informed. Maybe it’s fine if you don’t have the gadgets and tools that xyz and abc account do to share your life in the same Way. Maybe it’s perfectly fine if you only impact one or two people in a positive way and one of those is you

    Inspired by some pieces from The Internet Used to Be Fun <3

  • May the Land

    Processing lots of grief and deep sadness, unforgivable loss. Irreconcilable. Processing as the massacres are ongoing and f*ck this genocidal empire.

    Click to see details! This one also came to me during scorpio season (see other pieces that did too in this post).

  • Sticker batch # 2

    I made these to sell at a recent market, and also just for fun 🙂 some of these came to me during scorpio season, right around the presidential election shitshow. I hope they inspire at least a little hope and rage-channeling <3

    digital transparent png with light red and orange gradient background. foreground is a feminine face giving the finger with both hands and a scowl. fire burns in their eyelashes and from their flipped fingers. handwritten text above and below read "Rage against the empire"
    digital illustration in the shape of a "door" with purple and pink light gradient background. illustration is a heart with fire in the center and smoke emanating from it. heart has roots at the bottom and tears dripping from the sides. a rising sun at the top of the heart is seen in scribbles. no text
    digital art design, white oval shape with gradient background in light red and orange. design is a drawn candle with emanating flames and melted wax. text at the bottom with red outline reads "Manifesting the fall of capitalism"
    circle illustration with light red background. illustration has two machetes diagonally crossed, and a heart on the crossroads with fire and smoke in the middle ground. background has smoke emanating from the center. text above and below reads "in righteous rage"

  • December happenings

    No events or gallery shows BUT

    I’ll be prepping for my online store (finally!!) opening in January. It will be through artisans.coop !!
    i don’t have a date for my first “drop” as the cool kids say yet, but might be closer to mid-January as I settle into the new year.
    I plan to mainly sell zines, art prints, stickers (both inkjet-printed and linocut-block printed), and patches – flat stuff for now as i get used to the Art of Shipping

    I might try to sell bulkier stuff through my IG, but it will only be available for local pickup

    Also another collab project in the works I’m really excited about, but don’t wanna say anything till it’s ready 🙂

    Stay tuned!
