SENTIENT

The SENTIENT Wave Chaise Lounge is a sculptural homage to the elegance of a cresting wave. Its gently curved wooden base and flowing seat evoke the steady build of water, capturing the grace of a wave just before it breaks

Our Sapience Chair is a balance of formality and comfort. Its diamond-shaped supports rise with strength, while the copper leaf finish adds warmth, catching the light like a quiet ember. Velvet upholstery softens the geometry, inviting you to experience its texture.

The Metamorph Chair by SENTIENT embodies the beauty of minimalist design. With its clean lines and understated elegance, it is an exercise in restraint, allowing form and material to speak for themselves. Wrapped in rich fabric, it seamlessly blends functionality with artistry.

I’m turning 40 on Friday. So I’m giving away 40 @WoodiesOfficial from my vault. 🌳 Twice in my professional life I’ve been presented with “watershed” decisions - one that will clearly fork your life into two available paths. 👈👉 The first was in 2015 - stay the course and climb the corporate ladder, or take a high risk shot at building something that’s never been done before. I chose the latter over the ladder. The second was in 2021 - post acquisition of the ‘15 startup, stay the course and climb the corporate ladder, or take a high risk to build Woodies in a new space with new tech and a group of strangers from the internet. I chose the latter over the ladder. In both cases, I chose the riskier path. Why? 🤌 Because you only get one shot at this life. My reasoning has always boiled down to one internal question: ✨ …“when you’re 40/50/60/70/80/90 years old, will you look back and be inspired by yourself for attempting to achieve your most audacious goals, or will you have regret then for passing on them now.” ✨ I think many believe that a great idea is a starting point, but in my experience great ideas are just the next door in a series of doors you’re moving through (iteration). But, if you don’t decide to step through the first door, you’ll never be aware of the doors that may have followed. 🚪 When Woodies presented itself as a watershed moment, I quit my career to pursue Web3 full time. Gave notice the same day. 🚪 That decision introduced me to @chriswallace, @grelysian, @DesLucrece, and so many incredibly talented and inspiring people. 🚪 One in particular is @calvinhoenes. Calvin and I were the nerds behind Woodies. We had never met before then. 🚪 We are now embarking on year 3 @props with @nestarobins, @KevinNuest, @OmbraRD, and @getfreddie. 🚪 Choosing the Woodies door led to another, and to another, and to another. 🚪👉🚪 👉 🚪 👉🚪 👉 ❓ This is all to say, kids, take some shots with the time you have on this Earth. Build/join a startup if that’s your thing. Make art. Find common interests with strangers from the internet and IRL. Venture out from your tribes. Embrace risk. Laugh in the face of fear and the status quo of doing what’s safe. Lose, a lot, so that you may learn what is most important in your life and worth protecting (good reasons for taking the safe paths), and what you personally need to win (driving confidence to consider the riskier paths). I’m so glad I did - 40 year old me is 100% inspired by 32 year old and 37 year old me. I hope 50 year old me is inspired by 40 year old me too, and I’m excited to reflect back at 50 on which doors I am not yet aware of yet but will make that inspiration possible. If you made it this far, drop your address and a comment. I’ll pick 40 people to each receive a Woodie on my bday to celebrate your support of this crazy old fart over these past few years.

@DesLucrece Congrats @DesLucrece. We'll deserved. 🧿

I can count on one hand the moments in my life that have left me as speechless as I am today. All the kind words, messages, and outpouring of love means absolutely everything. It has been exactly one year ago to this very day that I had my debut solo auction at Sotheby’s, and I can confidently say I’m just as speechless today as I was one year ago. Maybe even a little more so as this auction has within the first day surpassed everyone’s expectations. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I will not be sleeping tonight as I can feel my heart beat in my eyes. Absolutely unreal the work has a current bid of $60,000. The ordinals community is giving the Monsters a run for their money, and I’m eternally grateful to you all! 🧿🥂

I’m proud to announce that part of the Monster Soup can sales will go directly to @WCKitchen. 💙 I want to share a bit of a personal story about an apple, and why WCK’s work is so important to me. One of the stories that stands out in my childhood is one that my uncle shared with me. During the Vietnam war, my family fled the country on a small fishing boat to escape persecution. They packed as much food and resources as they could on that boat, but had no idea what was ahead of them. Adrift at sea for endless days, with their provisions dwindling, their situation seemed dire. “The sun was relentless” was something he kept saying during his story. Then, one fateful day, they spotted a large ship on the horizon. Mustering their last reserves of strength, they waved frantically for help. To their relief, it was a humanitarian vessel rescuing Vietnamese refugees. Once on that boat, the first thing they gave them was an apple and water. My uncle described it as the best apple he’d ever tasted. As a child, I imagined it was just a remarkably tasty apple, but I later understood it represented much more. That apple was a symbol of hope and survival, a reassurance that they would live to see another day. Food is one of the few things in life that bring us comfort during times of uncertainty. And as the World Central Kitchen says “a nourishing meal in a time of crisis is so much more than a plate of food—it's hope, it's dignity, and it's a sign that someone cares.” I’m immensely proud that we will be able to support such an amazing cause through my art. Thank you all so much for supporting my work! 🥂

Today, we're introducing a new way for collectors to participate in PROOF Art releases: Artifacts. Artifacts commemorate PROOF exhibitions and use the @transientlabs Story Contract to immutably inscribe collector addresses on the token. The first Artifact celebrates our 'Notes from a Neutron Star' exhibition and has been airdropped to all PROOF Collective members. Additionally, we've randomly chosen 250 @moonbirds who hold a Diamond Exhibition artwork to receive the airdrop. 5 Artifacts were airdropped to the Exhibition artists, and PROOF vault. Moving forward, collectors will be able to mint Artifacts as part of our ongoing Exhibition series. Each Artifact will have a limited supply and PROOF Collective members will have early access to collect.

Working on a clean Monster Dex. Really loving how my 8 Superrare pieces look together.

Last night, I curated a show of old and new works, installations, physical goodies, and lots of friends and drinks. Thank you to everyone who made it out on a rainy NYC night. If you didn't make it out, here are some of the highlights 🧵

💙🧿

Marfa was everything I wanted it be and more. It was an experience that requires me to add my voice to the resounding chorus of support for everyone who made this past weekend possible. I’m back home with a heart full of inspiration, motivation, clarity, and belief in this artistic ecosystem we are all building together. This annual retreat stands above the rest. Perhaps one reason is because Marfa is not easy to get to. A flight to Paris is less of a journey from New York. This friction creates a filter- what you are left with is a group of deeply dedicated, here-no-matter-what, kind hearted, warm, creative individuals. Perhaps it’s the focus on ART as the centerpiece of this gathering of grateful creators and patrons, that keeps the joy of creation at the top of the mind. Its a place devoid of the darker sides of our space- no flippers, no speculation, just ideas and intersections of all the various types of people who work to bring these ideas into reality. Perhaps, most simply, it’s the people who comprise this niche inside a niche of a community. The people who build and attend this weekend are deeply committed to the ideals of art on blockchain, but even more importantly, they are deeply committed to an even more root level ethos- of kindness, inclusion, open knowledge, humility, experimentation, and the forever North Star of “good vibes.” If you could embody that ethos in a person, it would be Snow Fro, @ArtOnBlockchain, though I'm sure he will reply to deny such an accusation 😂. But to those that know him they know what is true. Thank you sir for all you have done to encourage and inspire artists like me. To the entire @artblocks_io team- never stop pushing, you are and have always been on the right path. I won't miss one of these weekends. To the @glitchmarfa team, the de facto hub of my favorite activations like @toadswiback and the @TransientLabs Flea Market, thank you for your daily and nightly hospitality (shout out to @derekedws for the energy you put into all of this too). To the @proof_xyz fam for once again elevating our experience and connections, thank you. Another huge thank you to @redbeardnft who masterminded our trip even though he couldn't attend this year (you were missed and present in every conversation, you can ask around if you don't believe me 😘 ). Thank you as well to the local residents of Marfa who welcomed us in to their world, and for creating such STUNNING places to see, eat, drink, and just *be* we do not take it for granted that you let a bunch of squiggle-obsessed nerds flood into your small oasis in the high desert. I could tag endless friends, new and old, who made this experience so moving and profound, but if you've read this far already I'm sure you know who you are. I'm already ready to book next year, and to those who stayed home this year- do what you can to be there next. You simply won't regret it.
