January 7, 1995... I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. one day at a time... I choose a life of sobriety, free from drugs and alcohol. Today marks 28 years clean and sober.

I understand the blockchain is newish... but I'm literally sitting on twitter space... & people talking like OMG this is just happening for the first time. Its frustrating the lack of actual history is sad. MoMa, Whitney, Ars & countless others have been supporting digital art...

yesterday I made a comment about how I'm not a fan of making generative art look like paint... or pencil... or watercolor... or any other analog art utensil. I think the tools should embrace the medium and not pretend to be anything else...

I know I do this every year... but it's important to me... yesterday, January 7th (1995) 24 years clean and sober... which remarkably, means I've been alcohol and drug free for half my life (bonkers). One day at a time.

GM. I've been making digital art since 95. I've done this when all I had was $6 in my account. if you're passionate about the medium & the process. nothing else really matters. You'll love the work whether NFT's exist or not... & certainly if the $ exists or not. love your work.

They say never meet your heros. Thankfully I'm not good at listening. thanks to @espiekermann I got a chance to meet my hero. Vaughan Oliver's work at 4AD made me want to be a graphic designer. I'm so grateful to have met him and very sad that we've lost him. Vaughan Oliver RIP

what can I tell you after 23 years of sobriety?
1. Shit happens.
2. It's often better to listen than to speak.
3. Hard work always works out.
4. It's easier to be yourself.. but know when to get out of your own way.
5. Kindness is greater than Ego.

...for decades. Museums have been collecting and supporting digital art and installations since easily as early as 98? 01? I literally talked about AI art at my TED talk in 2005. Just because It's happening for you now in 2023... if you don't know the actual history... maybe...

FINALLY the legend @JoshuaDavis will be featured by @ChristiesInc, a landmark moment for all things generative, but especially the most deserved celebration of a man who has given everything to this space since the beginning of all things web/digital.

It's just Lazy... even though we have access to the history. People just make stuff up. We have a wealth of documented history and people just living in bubbles. why ? why do this ? I mean I get it... you gotta HYPE the story... but it diminishes all the work done before you.

here's what frustrates me... lets go back to the 80's... access to knowledge was difficult. (college? library? microfiche?) you basically STFU... you're not an expert. you don't know. Today we have an ocean of access to knowledge/history... no-one will STFU & STILL you don't know

1995/1996. I had a computer at @PrattInstitute where I worked in the publications dept building their first website. At home I had a 286 PC with an amber screen. I was teaching myself JS to create a RGB to HEX converter. 28 years later selling my art @ChristiesInc truly humbled.
