Today was one of those rare and lovely days in which i was able to scratch the itch that is the affliction known to all collectors - i picked up a piece that I've been low-key hoping to snag for many years, from a friend. Back in Jan '23, i was introduced to the geometric art of @rickacrane by @chrismaddern, @christine_hall and the team at Floor (pre- @rally_xyz), as part of a series of 12 pieces by notable artists, combining jpegs, skins and mastheads for the Floor app. I really liked several of the artists and have since bought pieces from various - but I quickly fell in love with Rick (Crane)'s work, which remains how I see the Floor/Rally app to this day. Minters of all 12 of the Floor art pieces could choose to get one piece printed, so i picked Rick's Oneirism, DayDream (framed here, on the right). Some time later, i got to know Rick a little through the superb @TheBuildersDao and Rick kindly arranged for me to get a second piece printed. So, despite not owning one of the 12 nfts, i opted for Watch Your Step, one of Rick's early pieces on eth mainnet (left hand frame). Since then, none have been listed, to my knowledge. I've put in bids periodically when i've had some spare eth and, understandably, no-one budged. Today, the estimable @StudioCaptain1 - another excellent artist met via the DAO (and later at NFT Paris, RIP) kindly agreed to part ways with his copy, which is now vaulted. Thank you my friend. So, not only do i get to look at this daily above my desk, but i'm delighted to feel like I truly now own it. If you're interested in Rick's work, check out the linktree in the first comment. He's got a great deal on Tezos, Sol and is currently exploring Farcaster. Also note the link to Studio Captain's work, which is well worth checking out imho, in the second comment. Still plenty more collecting to be done ofc... but for now i'm absolutely stoked. I've pasted a couple more of Rick's pieces here.
