Weekly wisdom from #MediciMinutes for 1/1 artists. 🙏🏾 @CozomoMedici . This is important advice. Artists benefit tremendously from tiered markets. A combination of 1/1s and editions, which allows them to "evangelize a crowd" & to create liquidity in their markets. ⚔️🤺 🔥

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥#9999 that will go to @LACMA @ArtOnBlockchain
🚨There are zero links in this post. Please don’t click on any links that might appear in the comments. Squiggle mints are not for sale. Anyone claiming otherwise is a scam. Beware of impersonators. Also sorry for always starting threads with this warning :/ 🚨 TLDR: I’m minting 66 fresh Squiggles today at exactly 5pm CT. This will leave only two more Squiggles left to mint: #9998 that will go to a special commemorative thing I’ll announce soon and #9999 that will go to LACMA. 🤞 hope I did the math right 😬 This last normal batch of mints, like in the past, goes to wonderful people from all around the world. Artists, collectors, fellow builders, personal friends and supporters, a few institutions, and finally to my family. I’m minting three Squiggles each to my mom, dad, brother, sister, wife, and two kiddos. I’m also minting a handful for future giveaways. What makes me the most sad about the Squiggles ending is that I’m hyper aware that I’ve missed many excellent folks that are more than worthy of receiving a mint. It’s been a tough set of decisions over the last year and I’ll continue to find ways to recognize more folks moving forward. Besides that there are a million thoughts floating around in my brain but I will preserve them for the very last mint, but damn this has been such an insane experience on so many levels. Everyone’s support means the absolute world to me. Thank y’all for sharing this experience with me over the last 1005 days and cheers to whatever the future will bring! Have a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening everyone ❤️. Excited to discover what these last of the minter brings to life. 🍻

LOVE @MonicaRizzolli 's beautiful new generative series in dialogue with Hokusai's A Tour of Japanese Waterfalls in @LACMA's collection. Here's a bit of background on this fascinating Japanese artist👇❤️🌵
🧵(2/5) A bit of info on Hokusai for you all in advance of todays space: Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was a Japanese artist known for his mastery of woodblock printing. Hokusai's prints often depict natural landscapes, everyday life, and mythical creatures.

Fantastic interview in the @montyreport w/ the brilliant @williamapan including some sneak peaks at his upcoming collaboration with @LACMA + @CactoidLabs ✨✨❤️ 👁️👁️❤️✨✨
My interview with William Mapan (@williamapan) is LIVE! If you are an artist or collector, this is for you.👇 For the unacquainted, William Mapan is an artist who lives in Paris, France. His preferred medium is code. He is best known for his long-form generative artwork, and in particular for his series Anticyclone and Dragons. Much of William's work is highly textural and if you didn’t know any better when viewing his work, you might think you were looking at photographs of actual paintings. In addition to his art career, he is also a teacher and a father. William and I met up virtually while he was on vacation in the French countryside with his family. It was after dinner his time, and he was in the middle of packing for his return trip to Paris the next day. Nonetheless, he felt totally present and available during our conversation. I was struck by his warmth and easy laughter. William is a thoughtful man, and many times after I asked him a question he would pause and look into space to gather his thoughts before responding. Just beneath the surface of his kind and warm presence, William buzzes with energy. He has an intensity and emotionality to him that was revealed during our conversation. He stays up much later than most sane people to work on his craft. He dances and climbs regularly in order to release his energy. He enjoys sparring and debating with his partner. He feels things deeply and channels those emotions into his art. During our time together, the conversation flowed naturally and we covered a diverse range of topics, including: ✅Details of William’s upcoming drop with @CactoidLabs and @LACMA (including the previously unreleased name and never before seen test outputs!) ✅Recent racist encounters, and how William channels his emotions into art ✅William’s take on racism in web3 ✅The story of how William became an artist ✅What William teaches his students ✅The work he has done that William thinks is underrated ✅His relationship with his partner, Camille ✅William’s film photography hobby and the camera he uses ✅Underrated artists that William thinks are worth watching ✅William’s hip hop dance hobby ✅…and much, much more! Please enjoy my conversation with William Mapan. The link is in the next post and in my profile. Finally, please make sure to do your part in spreading the gospel about digital art by liking and reposting this post so that more people can learn about William! 🙌

Expertly argued. Traditional artworld going the way of classical music. I've worked in bluechip gallery/museums for 10 yrs. SO OVER that world. Artists clamoring to be accepted by the same rich collectors. All the elite posturing. The phony pretenses to social good.
