Beyond excited to welcome the amazing Veteran Art Director and OG Concept Artist @raphaellacoste to the Kenshiro collection: My words could not do his works justice so I will let the images speak for themselves

I was clinically depressed, suicidal, and on medication for so long because I took life (and particularly my SELF) too seriously. EGO is the mind killer. Being able to laugh at yourself the best antidote. Other people's words/tweets/judgment can only have the power you allow them

If you have a 1/1 NFT you consider truly unique/innovative please post the image in the comments (& explain why, if you like) - no links.

After a long & rewarding (although exhausting) deep dive into the madness of the collectibles markets, I'm gonna put my focus back on what got me started in the NFT space, 1:1 art. Too many unclaimed gems out there, so many opportunities. See you in Lisbon at @NFCsummit April 4-5

If you're still minting on platform contracts rather than @manifoldxyz worth upgrading asap for the sake of of your own work + most collectors will be asking for it soon. Personally gonna try to buy only from artists using manifold contracts, takes 5mins to setup & future proof+.

1/#NFTCommunity What a crazy journey it's been so far, alongside you all. Never thought I would get in this deep. #NFTs are the future. Through art we shape discourse. Through discourse, ideas. This piece by @gavriilklimov is the pearl of the #Kenshiro collection

This masterpiece gives me goosebumps every time @emanshiu: "I never had closure with my mothers death. So this short film became my closure, a way for me to say my last goodbye. I am so glad to be able to share this with you all and for anyone who’s lost someone, this is for you"

I remember deeply connecting with @ondrejzunka's piece 'WEATHER THE STORM' on @SuperRare when I first started collecting, but couldn't afford it back then. After having weathered many storms along the way, I've finally been able to acquire it. Thank you @arlo_eth for the exchange

.@Gfunkera86 @beaniemaxi, @pixelvault_ dream team of the nft space for me. I've been working my way up to this @MetaHero_ Core for a while, finally came through. Thanks to Artist @ChrisRodeno for the trade, was an awesome deal and my biggest yet, Meet Surge-0. 🤝👌👍🕊️❤️

Shower idea: what if instead of competing to be the greatest artist (hard) you branded yourself as the universe's shittiest artist and really delivered on it? Would buy.

1/ “Rebirth” by @borispelcer . Below his main, kind of poetic description of it:.“In a fever of a dream, I surrender to the flames. I let it set my whole being ablaze. When it all dies down, ash settles and illusions dissipate, there is but only me, finally awake." 👇

Going forth, I'll no longer be buying art up front, but accepting payment for my time/strategy/ideas in the form of 1 piece of your art should you wish to work with me. If you disagree with my strategy that is also ok and there are plenty of people to seek help from. Thank you.

I don't care about fitting in & seeming 'normal'. I know I am strange. I embrace it. It is my super power and it has mostly been a blessing. Don't copy, all you have is your unique experience & vision. This is art, this is creation, this is how you find yourself

I will continue to follow as many people as twitter allows. If I don't follow you, I've probably just forgotten. I only ask you to kindly not try to sell me stuff. If the question you are asking could be researched please take your own time to do so & respect mine. Thank you all.

1/ On why it's important to be mindful of who you associate with: 'We are early' is often thrown around. It has become a cliché. However, influential brands are finally starting to realize the importance of web3 and the impact it will have on the future 🧵

I've been giving spotlight to several projects lately, I don't get paid for this. I never want to be an influencer, but if I see innovation that I can support, I will. Not particularly inspired myself in this period, so I try to support others while I wait for the light to return.

Friendship is the best type of art. It's also the rarest and most valuable. Whilst we spend our time accumulating riches, it will be the relationships we created along the way that determine the quality of our experience.

Been a long time since I made big purchases, have been very patient during the bear. Couldn't wait any longer on @ZssBecker NT as I'm max bullish on web3 gaming and @NeoTokyoCode is the best place for that. Looking forward to connecting with all the incredible builders there. Gg
*blows trumpet* Lets start the day. AVAX/AVAX gaming, my favorite big cap chain for gaming this bull run has joined @NeoTokyoCode!!. We are also in talks for some epic synergies n ways to work together going forward. Is there anyone left of relevance in gaming not here? 🤓🤓

. @ArchanNair is one of the most amazing souls in the NFT space. I've hardly seen anyone so positive, supportive & aware. I met him early on, he has taught me lots about art and consciousness. Dots connected and this piece came to be. It is very special to me. Thank you my friend.
Sooo Excited to announce my Latest Drop on @SuperRare ⚡️Duality of a Never Ending Story⚡️. 💎 Sold to the majestic @Kenshiro_NFT ! Such an incredible honor and grateful to be part of such an incredible collector & inspiring being in this space!

The quality of digital art has improved exponentially over the past couple years and will continue to do so. Instead of rejecting tools such as Dall-E/MJ etc. as 'not real art' consider that Photoshop and other software was also not considered 'real art' by 'purists' - tech ftw.

Artists becoming collectors and redistributing their profits and putting their money where their mouth is, when people ask what collectors look for, this is a big bonus for me if artists are supporting other artists (those who are making sales and can).
I've always believed that creators reinvesting in the community by buying from other creators is the highest signal of a strong NFT market. Today we're taking a look at 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗡𝗙𝗧 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 👇.

Beware false mainstream narratives. The legacy system doesn't want new technology to take over, whether it's BTC/ETH/NFT. they are perfectly content with the way things are. They do not want democratized access to finance nor an individual's right to freedom and privacy

Go hard when everyone else is hesitating. Worst case scenario you're wrong, but if you don't have self conviction, why bother?. Lead, don't follow. Market will catch up. VV. These squiggles are delightful @jackbutcher @visualizevalue

PSA: The reason 'collectibles' have been smoking 'art' in terms of growth is that many artists consider their work done after minting whereas collectible projects continue to grow brand and distribute added value to their holders. Learn marketing or hire someone to assist if not.

Be kinder, especially to yourself. Also remember that in a world of asymmetric returns even the best are wrong more often than not. Don't lose your confidence and never stop trusting your intuition, your perspective is what makes you unique

NFT space needs way more teachers to help beginners out & high quality teaching content posted in nft format should command high prices (it might not at first, have to price discovery, but a niche opportunity for someone to explore).

Highly value friendship, integrity & respect. Can't say the same about some I considered real friends here. Bear markets really do bring out people's true nature. Gratitude hard to come by, exploitation common. Positive platitudes serve no purpose, actions speak louder than words.
