What started as a proof of concept for @artblocks_io and the blockchain's ability to generate entropy evolved into something much bigger than I could have ever dreamed of. Squiggles embody my soul as my signature as an artist and a technologist, and I'm grateful to each and every one of you that has ever explored, enjoyed, connected with and even criticized my work as you have all played a role in shaping who I am as an artist. I appreciate every single one of the (as of the time of this post) 2,861 Squiggle collectors that continue to participate on this journey with me. Thank you @Sam12_23 and @NiftyFiftyETH and @squiggleDAO for your support, encouragement, coordination, and overall dedication to my work. Thank you @kukulabanze and @Noahbolanowski and @1OF1_art for so thoughtfully contextualizing my work and putting it forward for consideration. Thank you to the wonderful collectors noted above that so generously donated their Squiggles. Thank you @MuseumModernArt for your curiosity and appreciation not just towards the Chromie Squiggle but across the digital medium, over the decades, as a whole. Shoutout to @StuartComer, Michelle Kuo and Christophe Cherix for their vision and support and @mpierpont3 for actively participating in our community on behalf of MoMA over the years. It's a sincere honor to be among the 28,000+ artists in your collection. Massive congratulations to @matthall2000 and @pents90 as eight @cryptopunks have also been collected by MoMA. I wouldn't be here without your inspiration and contributions and it's a huge honor to be recognized in this moment with you. So happy that Mara and I could play a role in contributing a punk alongside Larva Labs, @CozomoMedici, @judithESSS, @ntmoney, @kukulabanze and @Rhyd0n and happy for the (at the time of this post) 3,791 strong community of fellow Punk collectors plus @nodefnd and @NaughtalieStone as amazing stewards. Seriously so much to be proud of and excited for. Grateful for my wife Mara and my kiddos, friends, coworkers, and entire family for being so supportive over the ups and downs of the last few years. Have so many feelings and so much to say (see my late night ramblings below) but at the end of the day this is a moment for every one of us that's here in this moment and future and I'm just happy to be sharing this experience with all of you. 🫂🫂🫂🫂
