I refuse to create anything that doesn't stir my heart.
When the passion in our work fades, the essence of art fades with it.
Following these 2 principles will ensure you ONLY create art that resonates:
In 2022, the NFT market saw approximately $24.7 billion in trading volume.
The most expensive NFT “The Merge” sold for $91.8 million.
These kinds of stats may make you want to dip your toe into the pool.

Embrace Curiosity.
Many people fear innovation.
They struggle when faced with new technologies and retreat to their comfort zones.
That's why they don't evolve.
They can't be groundbreaking unless curiosity becomes a friend.
As an artist, at some point you WILL lose inspiration.
Everyone does.
It can feel debilitating trying to regain what you’ve lost.
To help myself reignite my creative spark, I've developed a Unique 5 Step System:

Art isn’t about how you think other people feel about it.
It’s about how you feel about it.
Ignore what everyone else is saying.
If a piece resonates with you, that’s all that matters.
You don’t have to be innovative, but you do have to be authentic.
Innovative or not, the world needs more authentic people.
Be true to yourself; that's where real impact lies.
You’re not a failure if someone criticizes your art.
You’re a failure if you give up because someone criticized you.
Don’t let what someone says stop you from what you love; use it as fuel to do more.
There’s no creative or uncreative person.
There’s only people who tell stories and people who don’t.
Creativity stems from curiosity and expression.
Two things every human has the potential to embrace.

It’s easier to critique than it is to create.
Keep this in mind when someone criticizes your work.
Your art won't be for everyone, and that’s what makes it beautiful.
I know many artists who struggle with overthinking.
The solution is almost always the same: Just Start Creating
Once you start, your thoughts will become clearer, and ideas will sharpen.
Never look for affirmation about a piece of art you purchased.
You bought it because it resonated with you.
It doesn’t matter how other people feel about it, it’s personal to you.
You don’t have to be innovative, but you do have to be authentic.
Innovative or not, the world needs more authentic people.
Be true to yourself; that's where real impact lies.
Art can evolve.
Vision can get clearer.
Impact can get deeper.
Creativity can be nurtured.
Technique can be improved.
As long as you are persistent, it's never too late.
You can always innovate. You can always inspire.

NFT hype might have died down for now.
But you shouldn’t be buying art based on hype anyway.
Genuine NFT art is still thriving if you know where to look.
Watch how quickly your art will improve if you...
Hang around with people who are more creative and experienced than you.
My dad was more creative and experienced than me; his lessons were priceless.
Don’t compare…
Don't compare yourself to other artists; focus on your unique path.
Don't compare traditional and digital art; focus on your creative expression.
Don’t compare the art you buy to someone else's; focus on what you enjoy.
I’ve seen what happens to artists consumed by self-doubt.
Passion is lost. Talent is wasted. Careers get destroyed. Creativity gets crushed.
Don’t let self-doubt creep in; it’ll sabotage your potential.
I'm convinced creating every day for 30 minutes is the best habit you can develop.
Create even if you don’t consider yourself a “creative” person.
Making something…
Sharpens problem-solving skills
Gives a sense of accomplishment
Enhances the ability to think outside the box
No great artist lived without periods of creative fatigue.
Don’t view it as a hindrance, rather as time to experiment.
Try something new.
Reignite your passion.
Some of the best art comes from these moments.
That moment I first saw these details through the camera was so exciting! It was hard to believe the textures and details that have been created through millions of years of evolution. And its also the longest animal on the planet!
Don't follow the crowd…
Uniqueness is what gives art value.
Perhaps I take this too far, by finding niches that nobody else is working in by combining art, nature and technology.
Does that make sense in this space?

Enthusiast buys an exclusive NFT because it connects with their soul.
It's not just an investment; it's a deeply personal experience that...
Evokes emotion
Sparks curiosity
Enriches the human spirit
When it resonates with you, it becomes a part of your life's narrative.
So much of art is about empathy.
In understanding an artist's perspective, we cultivate compassion and connect with diverse experiences.
And we could all use a little more of both.
Yay - we have a drop date: March 23rd. Much more about what we are doing on the website at . We have been working on this for a long time now so amazing to be almost there. This is the start of a 6 year plan!

Learning to appreciate all art, even if you don’t like it, is a life skill everyone would benefit from.
It will teach you how to see the world through the eyes of somebody else.
This will lead to more empathy, more compassion and more peace.

Buying art is a deeply personal experience.
Each piece…
Speaks to the heart
Reflects individual taste, passion, and perspective.
Purchasing art to get the approval from others misses the point entirely.
Art innovation can be daunting.
It exists outside of our comfort zones.
It’s the unexplored edges few dare to venture.
But creativity thrives where the unknown meets potential.
Embrace it, envision what could be, and watch the magic happen.
