Thanks for the profile Up Magazine. @cycol_gallery is making some noise in the LES, the team is cooking, and we have some more great exhibits coming. None of this happens without @lampwrecked_ @lowbrownative @lobeldesign, @douglasrmccurdy @jairo_ema25 @strakts and others outside of the space who are dedicated to the vision. Honored to have y'all alongside me. And extremely proud to have the gallery powered by @solana and @bonk_inu, while having all of the exhibiting work on @exchgART. I've said before that we are going to be a cultural hub for digital and traditional artists. We are doing that. The artist in me that started this journey 17 years ago is geeking a little, but the job is far from finished. Link to full article in my bio.

Rage Against the Fatigue. Truth be told, often evil does not succeed through grand gestures. It is not in the marching megalomania or weapons of mass destruction they find their path to victory. It is in the attrition, the erosion of all resistance that clears the road upon which they march and allows these final exclamation points to be added to the end of their opponents life sentence. Taking down a castle wall in one great swing is hard, the attacks location and attackers identity obvious, but undermining that same walls foundation one brick and bucket of earth at a time is far more manageable, far more subtle. Now in medieval times they'd often be aware of the sappers beneath their walls, but nowadays? Now our walls are invisible, and they span continents. It is far harder for us to monitor them all, to reinforce defences, to counter this undermining, especially when their are lords and ladies within those same walls who wilfully participate in their destruction. We cannot fight every battle, especially not when they appear on so many fronts, when the very act of creating battles, of mining "false tunnels" is a known tactic to further divide us and our energies. In fact it seems an impossible task to reinforce these walls at all. These walls of compassion, of empathy, of charity, selflessness and autonomy. As Koyczan said "our dilemma stands before us like a mountain carved into a blockade, the sheer magnitude of our problem would be enough to dissuade anyone." But we must remember that feeling of helplessness is exactly what those who would destroy all the good that has been built wish for. In truth they do not even need to fully destroy our walls, just convince us that there is no point in defending or maintaining them, or even more insidiously make us believe that by letting them in the front gates they will some how repair the same walls they currently assault. For they will do anything to seize control, to seize the profit that comes from the collective power of a people under rule. They will do anything to keep us believing we have no power, and what power we do have we cannot be trusted with. Meanwhile they buy islands to indulge in abuse, they play games with nations sovereignty and starving children, all for 4 more years and few dollars more. They lie, of course. for every one of them there are a hundred of us, You do not need to fight every battle, one after another, you just need to bring one brick each day you can back to the wall. One brick of compassion formed from the dollar you put in that mans cup, a brick of expression through the artwork you create, make a pail of mortar through a daily conversation in your community, stack the wall waist high through clearing out your closet for donations of coats or donations of time to community projects. For every one brick they remove we can replace hundred. For every false tunnel of outrage they dig which we ignore, they expend resources they cant reclaim. They want you to think these battles are grandiose and obvious, so you will feel like you cant miss them and also that to fight them requires actions equally grand and beyond your capabilities. They want you to think this because it, alongside the hundred faux conflicts they create sap your strength, they wear you down, they couple it with the undermining of public services, the rising cost of living and stagnation of wages, they want you tired, fatigued because it is hard to fight back when you're hungry. You must rage against his fatigue, lest it grows exponentially as we cut off support and compassion from one another, withdrawing inwards, becoming isolated and easily overtaken. It is only in the support of one another that we can remain truly free. - As always my thanks to @exchgART and @bonk_inu Art Masters for providing brick for our walls.

Artist highlight on @exchgART 💎 Celestial Body @celstialbody Celestial’s practice begins with communication not as clarity, but as fracture. what is shown, what is felt, and what is accessible rarely align. her work exists in that misalignment.

All that we reach to and for.

A collage of overconsumption. Dates and names of defendants, those manipulated and those money men to blame. Reports and charts describing the harm and relentless glut. Symbols of wealth stretched across its hideous reality. Listed on @objktcom

GM What’d I miss?

@post_screw Truly great work 🤌

what we are

I admit it, I traced a photo to make this. Of course I also took the photo, and it’s a photo of my own face, and I traced it using letterform based brushes I made… so I’m sorry, we won’t be getting that big conflict based engagement… Pretty sweet piece of art though.

Sisyphus & The System - First draft, work in progress.
