culture over everything

@batsoupyum keep it crypto. When i think of painting i think of the culture (history/tradition) not the medium.

Cryptoart has 2 parts and it's the "crypto" part of that word that the masses find distasteful. We'll be fighting that stigma for a while. Fine. But eventually "art" will win out, as it always has, and as Vangoya deftly points out in this solid essay

@sssluke1 an image identity crisis

The video walkthrough is a key part of the project. I can't help but think of all the romanticised reels on instagram of the Artist's life. Here the studio is decayed and lonely, haunted and desperate. An imagined identity crisis.

Instead of using AI to paint a perfect reality, @luhhfella uses it to paint like a child. Theres an uneasy tension in his work where you don't quite know where the human ends or the machine begins. He has a series of '11 fellas' in 'New Bad Image'

@vangoyaa solid.

NFTs are finally about to matter. If you’re still in the nft space, read this.

lip gloss

seriously. DF1 has landed.

@punk3178 @foretwenty they are back

Literally every single post about the new art blocks drop is about the price action. I haven’t seen a single one mentioning the art. We are so not back.

an abstract lifelike dream (for baselitz)

@CozomoMedici Nfts ARE top contemporary art

Top NFTs will pricemogg top contemporary art

Rip you ol dirty bastard. Baselitz.

Agnes Martin told her gallerist that if he ever sold one of her paintings she would drop him. It was fine if someone wanted to buy one. But selling one was out of the question. I agree with everything you are saying above ( my pile of tom Sachs rockets stand testament) but doing one way or another doesn’t make it better art and sometimes the best art doesn’t need the artist to cooperate with the market.

My humble take: Most of these artists rode their "trad fame" in without ever building a digital community before the drop or stayed to build after. Tyler's the exception; he's native to the space and is the only one who oscillates well between the two. Nina had Punks and Stone behind her and the initiative was awesome, but she wasn't Web3 enough. The bigger issue was none of them onboarded their existing trad collectors and most of the buyers were traders/speculators, not collectors. It is the same lesson as any industry you have to learn your audience and build your fans. Brand equity in one space doesn't auto transfer to another.

get you a brothko who looks at you like this

@toadswiback that second verse my friend

our suit of armor was polyester blended and fished from piles in a warehouse with other self-proclaimed knights our windmills hung from drywall the war we fought required no travel we lanced boils on our ass and watched the puss construct castles or princesses our adventures danced for a moment with digested microwave dinners before being suffocated by the stench of another losing bet

my understanding is that any of these constraints only hold up until there is enough financial incentive to route around them. dismantling code as law and turning the artist into judge and executioner. im probably wrong here. things change. but sometimes they dont.

@Darkfarms1 king and kingdom

..."a bold green hand rising from a deep purple base. The fingers are pointed, crown-like, and uneven in height, with strong black outlines. In palm-reading symbolism, this gives the hand a powerful, expressive, imaginative energy" 👀🐸

@batsoupyum removing friction(s) and security risk will do more for artists than aligning liquidity incentives.

The whole debate around artist royalties centers around "opt in" versus "opt out" Artists should have the tooling available to make the choice. It's their work! Up to now the platforms made it for them, which is absurd The market can decide if they like artist royalties or not

@redbeardnft the bait and switch used to frustrate the hell out of me. But overtime ive come to see royalties as completely unnecessary to an artist when they accept the fact that they are unnecessary.

To me you can create a forced royalty system and it’s a good conversation to have But also you can just pay them and not be a dick
