GM beautiful people! The sun/SOL is up, and I'm featuring another early work I acquired from

I've only recently started actively posting publicly, preferring to collect privately on SOL. But now that I'm here, I wanted to reconnect with
GM 2024! Today I'm reflecting a bit on that time I started collecting ART on Solana. No one else encapsulates that time for me more than
@solanapoet
. I remember first seeing his work and asking myself, who is this crazy guy that creates art using a typewriter?
Of course since
Good afternoon all!
@0xGojiberry
won the auction for "Shades of blue", my first 1/1 on solana.
Thank you so much
@CyborgNomad
for bidding too. Over the moon that you liked the piece and thank you both so much 💙💙
Over the moon at this update. ❤️🤗
@0xGojiberry
came in like a boss and grabbed all 7 editions in "Architectural Observations" and is now on the list to receive "Kheel Tower". So much gratitude and happy to be in your amazing collection!
@Chesapecten
grabbed "Leading Patterns"
Happy holidays! Sharing another early pickup from
@rishehri_h
. I loved the way it reminded me of an underwater forest. Acquired December 1, 2022 for 2 Sol ($28.29 at the time).
I throw myself 100% behind this as one of those quiet collectors until I started being more active on X a few weeks ago. I collected quietly in the background and bought art because I liked it. There was no other motive. I'm sure that for every Goku, there are 100 small, quiet

Happy Saturday my digital world! A few of you have asked about generative art on Solana, and I think
@CodeCanvas_Art
(part of
@exchgART

Today I'm featuring a quadruplet of editions I collected from
@TaintedPhotog
(I followed you!). I read earlier about it being the artist's job to evoke emotion in collectors and this definitely was the case for me. For beauty, solitude, and contemplation. Do more work Justin!
And the winner of the 1 million $bonk is the owner of edition 10!
@0xGojiberry
check your wallet for your gift!!
And thank you all for your support the last year.
GM friends! One of the best parts of digging through your collection is finding hidden gems and learning more about the artists you collected from. Here's one from

Me trying to buy a
@thehugxyz
pass. This hurts my soul. I really want to enjoy using Eth, but i simply can't. Doesn't mean i wont use it as long as I HAVE to. But it really shouldn't feel this way. It's not sustainable.
Thank you
@SueAnnaJoeArt
. I collected my first piece from you over a year ago on the now defunct FormFunction. Appreciate your resilience and hard work.
The Solana community has been so kind to me. It got me through my hard days, help me provide for my family. And most importantly help me fall in love with art all over again.
So this is my thank you to all.

"Enchanted Forest of Wishes"
gm friends! I wonder what would happen if everyone behind an anonymous pfp started with positivity instead of negativity. With support instead of criticism. With constructive opinions instead of vitriol. What if we were all better?
i am not interested in gathering more interest, i am interested in letting people know what we are doing for crucial processes. if details kills hype so be it.
you are interested in hype
i am interested in process
we are not the same

Big shout and thank you to

@sercantunali
(I just followed you!) . I remember acquiring this piece last year and enjoying all the little details, some of which I'm still discovering today. Life is absurd, enjoy it!
some recent event makes me think, it's actually very cool to use open editions art nfts to do charity donations on solana
- it's cheaper and faster than tradfi, because typical credit card processing is 2-3% fee and wire transfer can cost tens of dollars and days to clear.
I did it! I just purchased Arkade Token Airdrop in an

A friend asked about
#Bonk
and I realized I finally understood meme coins. Here’s my take. You know how the Big Bang was so powerful that its echo is heard for all eternity in the form of cosmic microwave background radiation?
@bonk_inu
is like that for the SOL community, the
non-solana ppl misunderstand how closely bonk is tied to sol imo, very low likelihood it doesnt trade much higher if sol breaks it previous all time high from last cycle - it is different from other memes like doge

today. Simple, but definitely a statement! I notice that it's been a while since skibo has posted his work -> definitely encouraging him to do more!
Now is the time to show out.
Artist, collector. It doesn’t matter.
Eyes are on us here at Solana.
Let’s push this all forward with passion, purpose, quality, and a heaping dose of humility.
Best foot forward, whatever that means for you!

is absolutely astonishing. An artist (

There are a handful of people who do what I do even in this space. The techniques of film soup and double exposure are somewhat established in experimental circles. Especially double exposure.
I think my work is unique in that I prefer relatively subtle forms of both that I try
