So I built a hub to show my lil support to what @adamilenich is building
The details are in the CS but the coolest feature is the pfp pixelator, here you can upload your pfp and generate ASCII and dot grid representations of it

I had the most interesting conversation with a friend today.
We were at an art gallery when she hit me with a question I wasn’t ready for.
“What is art to you?”
I paused.
Because nobody had ever asked me that directly.
To some people, art is shapes.
To others, it’s colour.
But when I finally answered her, I said:
Art is evidence.
Art is emotion.
Art is expression.
And then I told her how I got there.
Walk with me.
For me it started with something as simple as a lyric.
Nigerian artist Asake once said:
“I’m a work of art, Basquiat.”
I had to know the lore behind that name.
So I looked up Basquiat.
And I fell in love with his art immediately.
Then one day I received a hoodie.
Basquiat’s signature crown printed right across the chest.
That hoodie meant everything to me.
Because that’s when I understood something important:
Art doesn’t just hang on walls.
It lives on you.
It lives in you.
I told my friend all of this while we walked through the gallery.
And she listened.
Then she asked: “So what are you into now?”
That’s when I told her about how I found @thebeaksart
Or rather, how The Beaks found me.🦩🧵
Finally finished my artwork for @thebeaksart
After more that 12 hours of putting dots on a piece of paper
I ended up with this
I hope @DKashtalyan@ssheyii and @MartKAD find this worthy
