Art, Community and NFTs

— Originally published in International Paneling in 2021 It’s been over a year since I minted my first NFT, and, in that time, the space has evolved dramatically. And that might be an understatement — one could argue that the explosive NFT space is the most rapidly developing sector of…

Screen Memories

The history of art is etched into our collective psyche. Although we have different exposure to art based on our interests and education, there is nonetheless a general consciousness of what art is and what it looks like, and generally these notions are transferred through famous, so-called canonical images. …

NFTs in real life (IRL) are surprisingly powerful

As one of those self-proclaimed degenerates who are obsessed with NFTs, it was an interesting experience to visit a real-life NFT show put on by NFT Art Berlin at Kraftwerk, the old power plant near the Tresor techno club in Germany’s capital. Admittedly, I had very low expectations, imagining that…

An Accidental Journey into NFT Art Collecting

I remember when I sold my first NFT artwork on the SuperRare platform in late-2020. I didn’t think I was scamming the collector, per se, but I did marvel that someone was willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a JPG. I thought to myself, “Whatever floats your boat, man…

New ‘Composites’ series

I’ve begun working on a new series called Composites, which originated out of my Screen Memories series. The idea came when I couldn’t find a high-quality source image of Leonardo’s St. Jerome painting. As a result, I began combining different source images of the work to create one that was…

Thoughts on Max Ernst’s Entire City series

Strangely, last night I woke up around midnight, after only two hours of sleep, with Max Ernt’s The Entire City in my head, a painting I hadn’t thought about for quite some time, which made the experience even more unusual. The image that I woke up with was accompanied by…

NFT Strategies for Artists

After speaking for the first time on Clubhouse, an artist, MJ, reached out to ask me about my thoughts on NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and how I approached the latest new trend in the art world that enables artists and collectors to credibly buy and sell digital art. I’ve been familiar…

Lithography and NFTs

Spring seems to have arrived early in Berlin after only about three weeks of snowy winter, so it’s been relatively easy this year (fingers crossed). With the pandemic disincentivizing social activity, I joke with people that I’ve spent most of the winter inside, but it’s not that far from reality.

Towards a Real Pataphysics

“Reality is more like a novel than Newtonian three-dimensional space.” — Terence McKenna We live almost our entire lives in our imaginations, as most thinking is inherently a creative act, but, like fish in water, the imagination remains largely invisible to us, and so we diminish its significance. We pay…
