Hundreds of horses, swords, handmade costumes, and riders screaming their lungs out. The making of our largest scale production ever

@ArtOnBlockchain Happy belated brother, grateful to have you in this world 🫂

Thank you for all the wonderful virtual and IRL birthday wishes. ❤️ I appreciate y’all 🫂.

In the peak heat of the summer, Heft’s AC died 48 hrs before the opening of our group show. The morning of the show, we got it back up and running, but the height of the ceilings meant we couldn’t get it cold enough before everyone showed. As bodies poured in, it got progressively hotter until it felt sweltering. But still, not only did people come, but they stayed…to the point that the gallery was full and we spilled out onto the street. It was incredible, probably my favorite moment of Heft so far because it proved that Heft wasn’t just “another gallery in NYC.” Heft has helped shine a light on 50+ exceptional artists over the past 12 months, had 5 pieces acquired by major museums, and represented the gallery and digital art movement at large at 4 international fairs. I’m incredibly proud of the programs that Adam and the team have put forward over the last year. But the financial realities of running a gallery are, well, very real. We need help, which is why today, we launch Heft Circle. Details on the program in the quoted thread. I am not putting any pressure on you to mint this, we’re not looking for charity. The reason to mint is that you think what we’re doing is valuable. The reason to mint is you think places like Heft are important to continuing the growth of artists and collectors in our little corner of the art world. If you can swing it, minting one or more Heft Circles will help us continue our programming, and make more inroads with new collectors both in NYC and throughout the world. If you do decide to mint, thank you. If you decide to mint 3, thank you x3 and we’ll give you a 4th to gift one to someone special. Thanks for considering Heft, I’m incredibly excited about what we have in store this year!

The @tryfomo web gift is literally perfect

Gm I think it’s important to take notice of @nicedayJules Bird project You might think it’s success is because it’s filled up on your timeline But in reality it was because Jules built a project that was specifically not fomo induced We feel often that projects here need to be built on the timeline in order to be successful The sell out is desperately hinged on tweets and likes Jules took the opposite approach He made a spreadsheet of all his Collectors and those who expressed the interest to collect Over the last few months he made 120 meetings to show his project to potential buyers … 120 He made it about the importance of the 1 on 1 relationship and strong communication He than spent his own money to create an irl experience that was a gamble on weather it work or not It ended being one of the best art exhibition I have experienced The hype was not visible but the soul of the project was deep in the background waiting to bust out We all need to learn from this We are building slowly and the grind can feel endless But it is important to Remeber that releasing your best work while being patient is more important than anything We need collectors that want to speculate on legacy not price Projects like Jules were not promising gains or pumps but instead a feeling of hope and connection Congrats to jules and his team for doing it different and proving to everyone that art can be made, sold and loved in all different ways This is How Jules builds

@andy8052 @mnstr

I think it might be time to run back the Fractional playbook with a nice limited run of @mnstr hats

This past weekend I displayed some new and old work at Contact Photo Lab beside the iconic Bruce Talamon. So honored. Thank you to everyone who came by!

brain storm

This needs more attention. There is $700,000 sitting in the Foundation escrow wallet. These are collector funds from bids, offers and unsuccessful auctions. As far as I know Foundation hasn’t sent any email to these customers, or even publicly acknowledged it.

@mpkoz @redbeardnft Congrats man!!

New dad alert

@musicalnetta Happy birthday Lanett!!!

Friends, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! To celebrate, Bats has indulged me by letting me have a little fun with our theme: A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS! We are SO excited about this one because it creates a two way dialogue between collector and artist! Personal curation by you, for us!
