🧵 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT SERIES 🧵
It’s been a pleasure getting to know
@BlockFramez
over the past few months. Southern California-based Block is a member of URS and a professional OG photographer on Solana with an eye for urban textures.
People say "even if I didn't make money I'd make art". Yeah okay. But the real test is this....If you woke up with 10 million dollars in your wallet would you continue making art?
Artists, stop pretending like you don't care about money. Or that you're not in it partially for the money. You'll get what you want sooner if you just admit what you want. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to make money from your artwork. You should be proud of it.
@WatcherGuru
SEC might be the single most corrupt organization in the US. They literally do backdoor deals with con men and then sue the enemies of those con men and they do it in broad daylight without even hiding it and nobody does anything about it except cry on social media. These ppl
If you're a big art collector on Solana and you've been collecting during this bear, even if it's not my work, you are a legend and you will always have the respect of the artist community forever. Your contribution to this space has kept it alive. Thank you. 🫡
My latest experiment.

I played a lot of Sim City when I was a kid.
I'll say it again.

is not a threat to your traditional 1/1 model. It's not devaluing the space. Why would any of us risk our legacy if that were the case? Drip is bringing long term value to this space in ways that go over most of your heads tbh.

If you don't follow this account you aren't reading this and that's unfortunate. Just means more for those who are!

Just ordered the parts to build a 3.5" touch screen video player that will be shipped as physicals with special edition 1:1 Glitch District pieces pre-loaded. Updates coming soon. 🫡

Link to my Drip channel in bio 💧
Less than a year ago I had under 500 followers and was being fudded behind closed doors by certain unnamed collectors.
Today I've sold over $90K in NFT's, have nearly 2K followers, joined Drip and made alliances with many of the top artists on Solana.
Why did this happen?
In 2024 I will prioritize collecting from artists who were here during the 2023 bear. No fomo. As an artist I always have and will continue to prioritize those who supported during the 2023 bear. When I come up, you're coming up with me, my opportunities will be yours as well.
Listen, I'm not collecting art from anyone who calls themselves an "aspiring artist". You're either an artist or you aren't. If you can't decide then how can I?
Not one single Drip artist will tell you they regret joining. Not one. There's no fud from anyone that's joined Drip. Nothing but gratitude. Find that in any other Web3 project. The only negativity comes from ppl who've never used the product. Anyone who knows Drip and the
I've had several artists warn me about joining
@drip_haus
out of fear over saturating my portfolio and devaluing my work. In fact the exact opposite has happened and the floor price on the Drips is higher than what I'm selling editions for on other platforms. It's almost like I
Most of the artists I've known IRL have very little if any real support from their IRL friends and family. More often than not strangers can be more supportive than those closest to us. It's way too common that IRL folks will reserve their support until you've become successful
When you see an insanely talented artist struggle with sales and then see another artist literally scribble a derivative cartoon on a napkin and make sale after sale and tons of money. What conclusion are you supposed to draw from that? Honest question. Don't get made at me for

Thanks to everyone who subscribed and I hope you enjoy the arts!
Engagement down bad. I'm going to kick start the algo with a photo bomb thread with lots of keywords relating to photography and art. I'll post until the algo surrenders or until I run out of images. I won't run out of images.
I'll start with some nature pics. The one below is
Today I participated in a group chat with fellow artists on the topic of marketing oneself as an artist on social media. I then received a DM, similar to other DM's I've received recently, asking for tips on how to become comfortable marketing and shilling.

I'm doing things differently this time and possibly going forward depending on how it goes.

What is Glitch District? I've been a street-photographer for about 6 years, a videographer for 5 and a professional music composer for 15+ years.
About a year and a half ago I started my adventures in the Solana art scene minting mostly street photography but also a few video

If you want a RARE or LEGENDARY drop lock in for tomorrow and aren't already on the list drop your wallet below and test your luck. I have a couple spots left to give away.
Such a strange feeling that not a single person IRL really knows or understands what I do here. Even my gf doesn't really get it or honestly care that much. I'm totally not complaining either. It's an alien world to them. It's not real for them. They don't see what we see and

I don't understand why mfers doxx on here.
Literally, 95% of you are ugly AF.
You look like basement dwellers. So, it removes any speculation that you may be cool.
Just leave your cartoon picture up and mfers can still speculate.

Soon 1/1 art is going to explode and you're going to kick yourself for sleeping on 1/1 artists and not sniping grails off the floor then entire bear like I did. Coins are cool but art is priceless and I picked up some GRAILS. Also imagine you slept on my art. lol smh.

DRiP actually cares about artists.
DRiP actually takes initiative on a daily basis to help artists.
DRiP was developed in a way where it's success is contingent on it's ability to care about artists and their future.
As long as DRiP is able to maintain this passion for
While tourism is heavily promoted by the City of Surreal the citizens strongly frown upon it. It's very common for tourists to get followed and insulted for no other reason than because they chose to visit the city. What is even more frowned upon are tourists with cameras.

I took 1500 photos of walls. Narrowed it down to 500. Then narrowed it down again to 250. I love every single one of these images, narrowing it down was not easy.
I took a more abstract approach this time around & some liberties w/ compositing. The main goal with this series is
