A lot of arguing about the value of art in relation to its method of creation. These days it seems to be focused on AI. In the search for answers I turn to Bjork, an artist before her time and wise lifetimes beyond her years.
BARE USA delves into the study of natural beauty in contrast w/ man-made decay. This contrast is explored by photographing nudes in abandoned locations in all 50 states. The collection is minted via a Manifold ERC-721. Collection link in Bio ⬆️ See thread for full details 1/9⬇️

As an artist, you must follow your instincts and do things the way you want to do them. Be disruptive, don't apologize, stand firm and be confident in your work.

Gm. 14 years of sobriety today. I would say acceptance, willingness, and honesty have been instrumental in my journey. Grateful to be alive and grateful for the life of freedom I have today. Sure, there is stuff, life shows up, but I wouldn't have it any other way. If you're

An NFT polaroid photography series that highlights & connects with the human condition. I have watched the world try to be perfect and polished, I've tried myself. Truth is it never is. Gummo Land is that truth.
Gummo Land is an NFT collection of Polaroid photos inspired by strange art & cult classic films. I explore the awkward, & uncomfortable as I embark on a path to promote personal & creative freedom.
Got another one collected by an anon collector A3A332. A bit emotional about my work that had no home is finding a home. Some fantasies do get fulfilled. I'm a believer in the community!
I've been thinking a lot about the artist's journey, consistency and branding. I am fully aware that consistent branding and imagery works better. I understand the logic, I see the results. But I'm not going to do that.

Excited & proud to have dropped 10 new Gummo Land Polaroids on Opensea. Thanks for all the love and support on this journey. Which one is your favorite? Much Love!
It's fun to claim a "World's First NFT Purchase/Sale from an Art Van", but in all seriousness it's significant. What we have done here is further proven the power of Web 3 and the ethos that come along with it, the personal ownership of content and assets on all levels. 🧵⬇️ 1/10
