Performance Art is art. I decided to go to Chile and worked with @NicolasGatica_ and many other creatives to make a body of work - I wanted to touch different mediums to express what art is and how art is being received today through the eyes of an artist -( will speak more on this later)
I challenged myself to create this and I’m challenging myself again while putting this in a form that will be seen for all.
I want to thank @WAPSHOP_ETH @nix_eth @lifeofc @GuyNorcal for collecting - mint is still open for this trailer -with a few left - link below

Well I think I should say this
Not too long ago I was called a racial slur by a collector in this space - I didn’t want to say anything because I also felt a lot of shamed about how I dealt with it.
Shout out to the friends here who I spoke to that helped me deal with it .
And I’m not trying to just say this but I did want to say when I do things , when a lot of people like me do things here - in this web 3 space or ecosystem- we literally are doing it because we KNOW it’s important for our voices to be here to show out- so even if it’s hard for us to get the sales or the respect in announcements , etc or the eyes - we still move because to us it’s legacy -it’s impact!
Appreciate all of my supporters from day 1 and appreciate those who are new and soon to be my supporters!
Again Happy Juneteenth!!

Yall let that dude go on all the panels in the world to speak about music and how we need to help artist …
To now have him say “music should be free… “
Musicians are literally fighting to get paid for what they do! Majority of artists came to digital assets to figure out how to do that! No it’s not there yet- but to say music should be free?
Yall stop bringing him to yall panels to be the voice for us! I’m tired
And no music should not be free!
