He’s a great guy and I’m honored to have him collect one of my creations. Check him out and his art if you haven’t had the pleasure yet!
My first auction in awhile is starting in about 30 minutes!

Shoutout to both
@wetikos
and
@Createdby_imrie
for the awesome work. It came out infinitely better than I imagined.
Although I'm new to
@exchgART
, It's taken no time to find tons of artists that I feel deserve more recognition for their work.
To help the smaller peeps out, I'm planning to start posting about artists I find.
Comment below artists you believe the space needs to know about 👇
I've heard
@TheChimpions
have been blowing up lately! Took a break from my work on
@SolSlugsNFT
to make some fan art for this great project in the making.
Whitelist worthy? You guys tell me!
I've wanted to get into creating pieces on
@exchgART
for awhile and just never taken the leap. However, the Bonkmas spirit is flowing through me and I've decided to make my first piece to put up. I'll leave it up through the end of Bonkmas. Happy degening!
I've been working on a fun little side project to flush out my web3 portfolio on
@exchgART
. I'm calling the series Technomaniac. It's based on a general idea of demons imbued with futuristic technology.
What does the timeline think?
As some of you know, I'm quitting my full time job this coming month to focus entirely on web3.
It's a decision I've thought about for months, but 2024 has me so BULLISH I feel like I can't afford to waste it at a job I don't want when there is so much potential for me here.
@matt_levine
You are accusing the wrong person. Slorg had nothing to do with the token. Did you do any verification before posting this?
It’s disgusting that you would make an article with blatant misinformation that could have been corrected with more than 30 seconds of research.
It's been a long time since I've felt so hungry to prove myself. I haven't figured out yet if it's a change in the vibe lately or the joy I've gotten from discovering 1/1s, but a switch has flipped.
To me it's not the year of the dragon, it's the year of the waffle.
One of the most difficult lessons I had to learn in this space is that you can’t succeed just on your own.
I don’t mean this in the sense of you’re not capable by yourself, I mean that people have to be aware of your presence and who you are.
Relationships are invaluable.
While I branch out into making a name for myself in the 1/1 space, the one thing I'll always remember is home is where the slug is.
luv u guys

It's been ages since I changed my pfp, but
@GuidesPFP
and the burrow are on the run.
I hopped in out of curiosity about a week ago and have gotten to know a few members hanging out in discord and spaces. They're all outstanding individuals. Congrats
@wetikos
Not to circle jerk my own project, but this is one of the most legendary come up stories in the space.
We started with the goal to prove you didn't need a giant bag from mint to make it in this space and we absolutely crushed it.
Slugs started free 2 1/2 years ago and now our dApp has almost reached half a million users.
There's a lesson in there somewhere.
@solincinerator
🔥 BURN IT !

If the dude is getting rekt on the daily, it doesn't matter if he finally hits the one with "enough upside."
Man is just gonna lose it all in the next one lmao
I’m embarking on a journey to combine two medias I enjoy.
Pixel art and metal
Is it perfect? Not yet, but each iteration I’m getting a better hang of what to expect and it’s been a blast.
Until then, I’m putting in the graveyard hours
As per my post the other day, I wanted to start posting about smaller
@exchART
artists!
Today I’ll be talking about

Twitter only lets me show half of my collection, but the my absolute favorite is the Hemoglobin Current.
Congrats on minting out, root!
Going through my old folders of web3 content and found the original marketing material I made for
@solincinerator
back in December 2021.
Crazy to think we built this off of a free mint to over 500k users over the span of 2 years.
Man this isn’t even a derivative. They just took
@hypnoduckz
pfp, banner, and art and threw up a giveaway.
Thanks
@SOLPlayboy
and
@Slim_Billions
for letting us know so we can tell our duck friends.
Yes, I’m shilling our bots.
I just created my first auction on

It has me so excited and wishing I would have started doing 1/1 stuff much sooner in my SOL career lol

Sorry to hear that, man. It's the inevitable worst part about pets. Had to do the same last year.
Take solace in remembering the good life you had together. It won't ease the pain now, but it makes the memories all the more precious.
Absolutely loved all of the support I got yesterday for my first post on
@exchgART
. Thank you to everyone who liked and reposted.
I would love to check out more artists on the platform and get to know everyone. Any suggestions on people I should check out?
@rainnen23
Nothing makes you feel more alive than buying peepee coin that minted 14 minutes ago, watching it go +1400% and watching it nuke straight back down.
Sometimes it's hard to get the motivation to create your usual art and that's ok.
Creating outside of your norm is a great way of exploring techniques and ideas you wouldn't normally have thought of.
The important piece is to just keep creating.
Anyone else have an unhealthy addiction to spreading DEMOCRACY?

Another addition to the Technomaniac series! I decided to start dabbling in creating some lore for these guys.
This one is called The Devoted.
Unlike the others, this being believes that the reliance on technological augmentation is a hindrance to their true potential.
More progress!
Since I usually work on pieces little by little over a couple days, I'm considering uploading as I go along to give an idea for my process.
Is this something you would want to see or should I wait until the end?
Another WIP
The idea I'm running with on this one is sometimes you come across a habit, person, or other entity that at first looks shiny and inviting, but inside is something much more sinister.
It's always good to be cautious when diving into new things and relationships.
Tax day is tomorrow frens, don't let the IRS take it upon themselves to find your male gspot just because crypto taxes are hard.
You can file an extension if you need more time!
Kind of wild to me that the timeline is all good with large accounts farming presales on a daily basis with no consequence.
But then people with proven records of doing good by the ecosystem want to get paid and suddenly it's a grift?
So many clowns you'd think it's a circus.
I feel like sometimes this space breeds a sort of frustration in individuals when they see their work not rewarded compared to others.
Envy is humanistic and completely understandable.
However, the healthier view is to reflect and realize just how far you've come from the start

created the

for free. We’ve worked off the royalties we’ve received from our NFT collection. What some of the
#SOL
ecosystem is saying is that we should be penalized for NOT charging thousands of SOL up front? Am I understanding this correctly? 🤔
There’s some life advice to gain from Solana right now.
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try
Here’s the hot take that nobody asked for:
Censorship is not the answer to ignorance.
It’s better to let people make an ass out of themselves publicly than to try to suppress it. They’re broadcasting that their opinions differ greatly from your own. Don’t interact with them.
Ok guys. I’ve touched enough grass. I’m done with the grass. No more grass.
I’ve had no internet since Monday and I’m feeling myself slowly drift into insanity.
IVE GOT SHITCOINS TO FLIP AND NFTS TO LOSE MONEY ON. COME TF ON

I finished my last day at work on Friday. Enjoyed it for a whole 2 hours before watching my bags get slaughtered in front of me.
Good thing I'm already dead on the inside or that might have hurt.

If any of y'all nerds are flinching at a retrace to 150 $SOL, remember we basically flew to 200 in the span of a month.
It's healthy. Just make sure you buckle tf up and grab a snack before we actually go on the moon mission.
I am being assaulted by tree jizz. Please send help.
It’s that time of the year where those dirty bastards have dusted everything with their love crumbs and my sinuses are not okay.
One of the craziest things to look back at as an artist is the beginning stages of a piece compared to the end.
I'm terrible about taking progress pics, but since I'm trying to up my Twitter game, I was able to get a solid comparison.
Helldivers is addicting btw.

Do we have an estimation on when the network fixed will be? I say this as a user as well as someone involved with an application, the frustration is overwhelming at this point.

I would like to thank myself for constantly panic swapping between sol, USDC, and various shit coins during the worst parts of the downturn.

If the last 24 hours haven't proven that the funniest outcome is the most likely, idk what to tell you.
We're living in a simulation so start playing the game if you wanna win lmao
There was a project who sent our fee wallet a bunch of their token thinking it would automatically burn them.
We reached out and after 3 days of few responses, we simply sent it back to the original sender.
Then they got mad at us because all of their holders noticed

Crazy what can happen when everyone focuses on helping each other win instead of constantly turning it into a PvP which influencer can I get to shill my bags.
If you send your money to a random wallet with zero information on what is being done with it, you deserve whatever happens and can’t be mad at anyone but yourself.
If you don't sit down to create art and spend a couple hours throwing out ideas that turn out terribly before making one that hits, can you please hmu with your secrets?
It's like the universe finally pities me and just says "here ya go lil guy."
SOL is down to $142?
Oh my god it's so over...
We're only up 1,700% in a year now instead of 2,500%. Guess I better start putting in those McWagie applications.
Back at it again with another auction starting in 15 minutes! Had a fun time making this one for my home in web3

I think you are mistaking the current criticism of the current structure of cNFTs as an attack on DRiP. Creators are aware of the benefit artists have gotten from DRiP, but that doesn't change the fact that there are issues in this new tech that need to be addressed.
Thank you to
@bonk_inu
and all of the people supporting the community. It's been incredible and I can't wait to see where things take everyone in 2024.
If you send your money to a random wallet with zero information on what is being done with it, you deserve whatever happens and can’t be mad at anyone but yourself.
A common issue with digital media and traditional prints in general is the difficulty in assuring the validity of a sale and resale of work.
I believe one of the greatest use cases of the blockchain for artists is being able to publicly verify the authenticity of their work

3 hours left on the auction, current bid is at 1 SOL!
I just want to say thank you to everyone showing support for my dive into the 1/1 scene. The people I’ve met so far on my journey are some of the greatest in the space.
Kind of crazy when a competitor has to make a tool to help your artists due to a flaw in your own platform.
I'll be interested to see how this plays out. Sort of feels like blood in the water.🤔
We’ve implemented a new tool for Artists who want to upgrade their Exchange Art series to

Collection Standards.
This allows Artists who have created a series to establish organized on-chain collections. All you need is the URL to the EA Series.
This tool will help

@Kougamet
@KEMOS4BE
There’s an FAQ page on
@solincinerator
that explains it.
TLDR; there’s a small amount of sol stored in each token account in your wallet to act as a way to keep it open during the cleanup period every epoch.
Hardest part of creating for yourself is continuing even when you don't feel like it or it's not working out.
But you know what? It's not gonna fall in your lap so pick yourself up and keeping going. You're here for you.
WE KEEP GOING, NERDS.
