Congratulations
@Billy_Whistler
the first collector of 1 of 210 NFTs to also acquire the related print. For the first time, the owner of "Right Place & Right Time" is getting his 21% royalty. A new linked economy between artist & collector is born!
The funny thing of funds and secret groups is that they all buy the same pumped s***
But luckily there are still few smart lone wolves out there
We don't form a pack but we know who we are & respect eachother
They told you wolves are bad cause they want you all to be sheep
🐺
BANG! Finally I can announce it!
I've co-produced "WHAT THE PUNK!" a docu-movie about Cryptopunks, their creators & amazing community + few other historic gems
One of the many stories that will be narrated about these 10k PFPs that revolutionized the Art world & our lives

We want to express our deepest gratitude to
@TokenAngels
that believed in our project from day 1. TokenAngels are one of our strongest coproducers alongside with
@ARTEfr
. We are so proud to have those 2 qualitative labels on our side !

#documentary
Money doesn't buy taste
Time spent in galleries, museums, exhibitions, village markets, underground scenes, nature can help to understand what's real, what's essential, what's the message...
Spend well your time
Don't believe the hype
👼🏻🍸
NFTs are now empowering human stupidity and greediness
Since few months I have been getting more joy and interest in collecting physicals..again..in silence, alone, searching for what has value for me..and it has been amazing..
ART needs silence
Entertainment needs noise
Artists have the biggest responsabilities in this space
You got builders helping you
You got collectors supporting you
But in the end only YOU can decide the direction of this space
A real convinced artists is stronger than any platform, collector and influencer
It's time...

I collected a crazy combo:
"
@autoglyphs
+
@cryptopunksnfts
"
@MeebitsNFTs
Only 6 possible combos could be created.
I imagine them in some kind of Metaverse Museum, being the web3 version of the "David of Michelangelo".
Remember, collecting is fun but can also become an ART
✌️👼
Sometimes you feel an inexplicable need to collect an artwork even if it intrigues and scares you at the same time. An artwork with many different facets and meanings. Btw thanks for all the wishes & advices & sorry if it created a bit of confusion (even with my own family lol)

@TokenAngels
acquires Let me check with the wife (2022), our marriage certificate & durational performance.
After 2 years, a collector bold enough takes on our Marital Obligations mechanism. This work queers marital & artist-collector relationships.
@SuperRare
@ExpandedArt
The more I spend time online the more I feel invisible when I am IRL
Is the digital realm absorbing your physicality or is the physical world always more indifferent?
I really wish Larva Labs never sold Cryptopunks
@matthall2000
@pents90
If you still can take them back pls do so
Cryptopunks and their real collectors deserve more respect, care and love
Why do
#NFTs
and
#CryptoArt
overwhelm us with so many powerful emotions and feelings?
Probably because they allowed the kids inside ourselves to live and shine again.

Both works give me special feelings,

Allow them to bring you to another dimension

Please stop calling yourself a CryptoArtist if when you read a tweet by another artist asking for help, for a retweet or for support, you pretend not to see it cause too busy minting your first Ordinals, DMing your next release to collectors or attending the NFT Circus Events.

Wasn’t even on the market for 30 min! Bought by the one and only token angels! This was truly an organic piece. Came about while we were brainstorming. Max just asked me how my living situation was, I sent him a picture at that very moment of my situation, and he says “actually.
When I first met
@MattiaC
in 2019 I was impressed by his energy & his friendliness/helpfulness towards anyone in the space
I like to call him "the uncle" of CryptoArt
Mattia is a mix between a traditional artisan & a futuristic experimenter
If in Paris pls visit his show

Funny how meme coins created by unknown people get listed on marketplaces/exchanges just to attract more clients while some artists/users get cut out from the system just because they were born in a country "someone" decided to ban
You are a joke
Your NFTs are working for you.
24/7/365 other people interact with them, watch them, use them, walk on them, play with them, fall in love with them, want them, borrow them, bid on them, get them...
Your NFTs are your best digital partner.
T.A.👼
RarePepe are the only NFTs you can keep collecting for whole your life.
Somebody calls it hobby, addiction, a mission..
I call it love for the most important community NFT project in history that gave life to CryptoArt.
RarePepe will always be there..🐸
I personally don't like when big "star" artists get the best spot/biggest display in a show
Idea: provide all artists with similar screens and then the visitors vote for their preferred artwork before entering in the last room where they see who has more likes on a huge screen
This special work exhibited in this "first time" Basel show for blockchain art reminds me of Cybernetic Serendipity and gives me the feeling this will be a new beginning of something historic 🪶

You just had to join the space few years earlier and all would have been smoother and funnier bitches!
A very philosophical artwork that makes you understand each one of us has different means to observe something like it happens IRL where each one of us sees things from different point of views.
Observe more, judge less.

Thanks for all you do
@PowerDada

Sometimes collecting an artwork requires giving yourself time to understand it, to open your mind, to let few kids remind you what beauty is, to see how a poem can create such strong emotions on the audience, to admire the creative gift of a beautiful soul
Thanks Ana 🪶
It’s a life-affirming thing to see your work acquired. But it’s even more magical to see it find a home in one of today’s leading contemporary art collections.
Thank you,
@TokenAngels
, for coming close enough to my work to make it your own. Am so happy that we’ll work together

At least in the word "artfifacts" there is the word "art"..in screensavers there is not 🎤
YO! If you recently joined Web3 to empower studio agencies and celebrities instead of new artists & you support media agencies and VCs instead of new collectors you could have kept enjoying Web2
Don't complicate your life
She is the most beautiful pixel composition I have ever stared at
Her glance..
Is she shy 'cause she did or thought something she shouldn't or 'cause someone made her a compliment
Is she upset? Sad? Embarrassed? Or smiling inside?
A question that will accompany me for my life..
I visited an exhibition on the greatest Meme in the world: the American flag 🇺🇸
Good or bad it has represented the biggest power, ideology, dream, values, marketing campaign of the past century
In this historic period it is for sure facing an important phase of its life

Before he discovered cryptoart, Token Angels bought so many actual paintings that his family upbraided him: “Stop buying things, stop buying these pictures, we don’t have any more walls!”
HAPPY ENDING: My family thinks I'm ARTfree...They don't know I'm NFTholic
"We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy?"
Living and collecting are very similar..when you stop desiring something cause you collected it, you can still love it but you can't desire it anymore
You desire something cause you miss it, you think that your happiness depends on that
We always want more..infinitely..
Poor us
The tech is becoming more important than the artwork
The influencer is becoming more important than the artist
The curator is always being forgotten, at least nothing worsened 😜
I thought it was a sculpture representing the fall of Bored Apes and Otherside
Instead it is a sculpture named "Strange Attractor" by Barthi Kher, 2021
