Just strolled through the ol' Alchemy of Alignment gallery in the Nude Neighborhood, always a fun reminder of all the past adventures. oncyber.io/soulcraft_ @oncyber gallery hosted in the @nudenbrhood within @OM100m by @punk6529

This nostalgic moment with @ViribusFemina was recently nominated for The People’s Artist contest and your vote could help me win! Drop it here: peoplesartist.org/benjamin-frank…

@intodaysnight For most of my life I’ve understood that only people who don’t know what art is say that it’s subjective.

“Everything is Art” ages more poorly by the day.

@DruePhoto That’s your soul silently screaming for meaning and purpose.

Why does it feel like so much effort to post nowadays on social media?

@thepropgallery Wherever the rat race exists. Aka right here.

If an artist’s survival depends on the market, where does authenticity end and self curation begin?

@intodaysnight Not enough.

How much is enough life?

@RoustanXYZ God damn corporate bs never ends…

I have TWO STRIKES on my youtube channel. AI reviewers have gone hard on artistic nudity. And it's been impossible for me to speak to anyone at youtube that can help. Today I posted this video from 2020 re-edited to take out nudity, and It was STILL flagged and deleted.

@GuidoDisalle Yep.

We operate in a space where people don’t trust their eyes, so they lean on the opinions of others and long winded explanations of what is “good” or “interesting” and why.

@CrackedParty @thepropgallery ie the art isn’t the value… delusional hype and psychological tactics are the path to money.

@thepropgallery Naw but I believe in y'all forreal you can make it happen, just need to learn business and social media influence these days otherwise your art will only get noticed once you're dead

Artist!! This will be your pay check one day Believe in yourself 🙏

@intodaysnight My feelings exactly. The illusions fell away as soon as web2 merged and muddied the vision many of us were building here.

I don’t expect my photography to sell here again, could it? Sure, but nor do I expect any further interaction from the majority of my original collector base and many individuals i considered at one point to be friends. This isn’t indicative of me not believing in my own art, or my path, quite the opposite, just an acknowledgement of where things are now and how my art is perceived in tandem with myself. I’m still grateful for the handful of individuals be them artist, collector, friend or all of the above for keeping in touch with me and still believing in what I do. The journey doesn’t stop, it continues regardless. I’m here, I’ll be here and so will my art. I just have no illusions about what’s happening and my place here. I’ll keep creating and pursuing my vision because that will always defy the systems that proceed it.

@GuidoDisalle Exactly.

Since 2022 I’ve been saying that the biggest lost opportunity here, was platforms/galleries, that have a forum, the reach and some capacity, to onboard collectors that are not crypto native; to collect art they like and can afford. (Not the merry go round of collecting from your friends) The business model was broken then; and still is.

@sage_liv Beautiful!

@MoiraiaOrchidea Same

my biggest goal in life is play. i really like to play. there’s few moments i wouldn’t choose play, if i had the option. i want all acts of dutiful necessity carried out by some form of play. playing is my favorite activity, and i never get bored

@MoiraiaOrchidea I’ve yearned for that beautiful sweet authentic earnest love since kindergarten. I’d sit in bed and listen to 90s pop songs with tears in my eyes because my lil heart longed for it so bad. I’d think “I can’t wait til I find whatever they’re singing about” …still waiting. 🫠

falling in love is a kiss from God. stop letting the doom-pilled, emotionally broken, spiritually depleted, perma online, insecure & depressed people tell you otherwise. love so deeply and so authentically and everytime you do, thank God for this because it is a gift which enriches your spirit; not the opposite.

@warwithwhom @MoiraiaOrchidea Zach’s oozing heart wound He was not called a poet But it flowed like wine - a haiku that poured forth from me.

@MoiraiaOrchidea The secret is to never call yourself a “poet” and to only write poetry when it pours forth from you, like blood from a gaping wound.

a little while ago i had been interacted with by an account so i viewed it, and it appeared to be mostly if not all (?) poetry; self authored. they had a decent following, seemed legit! i really liked their writing so we became moots! then like 4 days later the whole account turned into a BDSM dd/lg instructional account on how to sexually domineer your slave (with videos). i was and am still very confused.

@nastasyah_art This is why I don’t shoot men, what defines aesthetic masculinity is too dependent on extreme fitness and only applies to those who are dedicated fitness models.

@CozomoMedici @kdean @rollbitcom @KaterinaCreate That flower fairy kinda reminds me of this piece:

This week's #ArtTank acquisitions, selected by @kdean and I... grazie @rollbitcom for supporting the arts 🎨 1/ 'PINK GARDEN' by @KaterinaCreate

@nudity_slip This pose reminds me a lot of this little sculpt I’ve been doing of @ViribusFemina 😯

Good night, beautiful souls 🖤✨️ selfportrait

@_kristyjessica I had X try to ban my account yesterday because the implied shot that was my cover image for 5 years was suddenly aDuLt CoNtEnT! 🙄

Go ahead and shut down my instagram, zuck. Everyone is moving to BlueSky apparently. I had a post from 2019 taken down today. Instagrams rules were much more relaxed back then, so at the time implied images were ok, so I'm being punished for images from 5 years ago due to sesta…

@BRRRRcollects @ViribusFemina on film expired in 1984

show me some new art
