Dinosaurs are one of my great childhood loves, their imaginings throughout media bring us a feeling of mystical realism, to know something that seems so fantastical existed, to feel it even though we can no longer see it.

Honestly disappointing, would love more clarity on why this became a necessary course of action so as to better understand/empathise with the position, and why the shut down is happening so fast. You know im deeply supportive of the team, but this tastes sour

A Thread on Branding
This is only a somewhat experienced opinion everything is subject to context.
You may wonder why the hell you should even care about branding, you're an artist after all not a company. but remove the idea of a brand as a commercial entity from your mind.
I am thrilled to announce that I’m officially a
@SuperRare
artist.
In my art the idea of true connection and nuanced visibility is integral, I aim to reinforce and reconnect us to ideals that represent the best of us and those ideals that are underrepresented in our day to day…
Something I've learnt over the years of putting myself out there as an artist, is that you may have the right answer, but no one may be asking the question yet. I started this piece years ago and at the time no one I showed cared. Be persistent, refine, rebuild, but dont relent.
Black hole of despairs exponential growth, only defeated by belief in hope. Accretion disc light my way, loss highlights the importance of appreciating each day

I only mint a project if i find a genuine reason. That reason is usually art, the pop headz are absolutely no exception. In fact I went out of my way to acquire extra tokens for it. Wonderful mint experience on

For some time I’ve wanted a holders/friendsFamily clothing store. The designs will be minimal, embroidery, a hem tag logo, pieces you can wear everyday. It will take time to deliver it fully web 3 but I’m happy to work on a manual order beta prior if you’d like
Whilst i understand that theres a certain cycle to the market with Blue chip PFPs being the stable first pump, I think a lot of people who are next going to move in to 1/1 art investments are missing a chance to get a lot for a little with the current distribution of attention.

I’m tired.
I’ve left so much on the page lately. Artists are their art; with craft, concept, and internal/external expectation as the framework to which our canvas of self is pinned, we’re pulled taught and restrained by the need to be… art.

Today is a year since I set up Twitter. Flying on painkillers after major surgery, with no idea what to expect, I didn’t think to find a community so strong as to be called family. You helped me learn to love art & myself again, and clear those medical costs
Eternally thankful 🌌
Something I wasn’t expecting to find so intriguing about working physically, is the way in which light affects a piece. There’s a few ideas that I’m exploring which have come from handling and observing the work in changing light, looking forward to developing them.
“My only hope is that every other alien species isn’t doing exactly what we are doing” inspired by our exploration of space, research on exoplanets and the JWST. With detailing drawn from rocketry instruments, the names of potentially habitable planets, and the shape of the JWST.

Why art should be our SOL focus:
This is not to discount the work every builder does in this space, but to the mainstream the applications look niche and in there early stages. This won’t drive mass adoption at speed. I’ll try my best to explain my thinking here:
"Be the change you wish to see in the world"
This means challenging behaviours that are counterproductive. It also means applauding changes to those behaviours,
