The blockchain's role in distribution has been the most important, innovative, and disruptive factor for digital artists. Even more than royalties.
In need of liquidity so looking to sell a few pieces from my personal collection, including these outstanding works by Hayden Clay and Ozbren. HMU on X if interested: @ CaoLinSan.
Good time to remember the project I worked on with Paul Insect, during the 2017-18 antigovernment protests in my country.
Spent time w/ my friend Pietro Paolini, one of the few international photographers who have recently produced thoughtful work in my country and not just media bs.
His series 'Buscando a Bolívar' is available on foundation—Books available directly w/ him.
In anticipation of @mp%E2%80%99s @touchgrass edition.
Art by Hayden Clay.
