Warothy - lenticular print #1 of 25

Paired with Wicked - Warothy

En route to new collector

[a.c.k. @lphaCentauriKid]

there are a few things i am laser focused on for 2026 and beyond.
here is a brief summary for you, should you be interested in reading more.

#1. The Starry Nights;
- a 1/1/X series i am curating/creating which is a themed series and follow up to my edition work "la nuit étoilée".

For this series, we will be offering exquisite print options with a custom and beautiful Muse Facktory unboxing experience.
These will be our debut Muse Facktory prints open to the public and the moment we plant our flag as a true contender in the high caliber Fine Art world of prints.

For the digital only collectors, the ultra high resolution artworks will stand on their own within your wallet, waiting for the day we have the means to exhibit our digital art properly and at scale. Each work is 12k pixels, for which we are building a custom viewport for them to be experienced properly, even on mobile.

Printing, however, is something I truly enjoy, and the ChromaSculpt technique captures my layering process precisely and beautifully. Offering both is a must for this series, especially since all new works will be still jpgs.

The exact quantity will be determined once i feel the series is complete, but not to exceed 1/1/111.

It will be a ranked auction with settlement.

This is all i can say for now.

#2. curation of the servants of the Muse;

As you know, i have the “servants of the Muse” collection of 69.

When i began this series as a thank you token for 1/1 holders, i created as ERC721 for a reason.
To one day bring about the 69 servants of the Muse, all in their true forms.

69 true 1 of 1s. DoomScroller, for example, is but one of the 69.

There will be no 2 alike.
All will be animated.
All will serve at Her pleasure.

These will of course only be available to 'servants of the Muse', who will have to pay a toll in order to reveal their servant. Toll price currently undetermined but i am no extractor so it will be reasonable.

Some of these beasts and creatures and machines will be ungodly, some will be just, many will be grotesque, but all will serve.

#3. Commissioned large scale aluminum sculpture

Can’t speak to it beyond that at the moment.

#4. Potential Installs and performances for Grand Skull Piano.

#5. PROTO I - mounted digital art canvases specific for my animated works.

#6. Whatever else the Muse commands.

A condensed guideline for successful history-changing art, no matter the web 2 or 3 placement:

-the art should aim to push boundaries historically, conceptually, or materially (material can refer to digital as well).

-the art should fulfill atleast 2 of 3 characteristics: beauty, story telling, or provocation (often beauty can be included in provocation).

-the art should come from within the artist, as opposed to fulfillment of external demands such as market favoritism.

-the art should take time (hot take but it’s true.)

-the art should not aim to please a market. As market pleasing art on a long enough timeline will render itself forgotten forever.

ACK is a rare example of someone from ‘web3’ that fulfills all of this.

What else should go on the list?

[a.c.k. @lphaCentauriKid]

Clown Party is a series I’ve been working on for ages, and couldn’t be more thrilled to present them in such a powerful way at Art Miami this year with Vertu Gallery.

After finishing the prints, standing in the room with all six was an experience unlike any other. The energy coming from them hit me in my core, and I’m thrilled to show them together as you see below.

The works come from old film I salvaged of my old best friend and me, he the clown, me the tin man. each one worked and reworked with deep texture and meaning.

This series is personal. Happy and sad. Old and new. A necessary experiment of texture and color.

If Piano Blossoms were impressionism, Clown Party is expressionism.

Each work will be paired with an interactive digital companion, a scene built around the physical, expanding how we experience them. Blockchain tech gives us artists new ways to layer meaning, and it’s my duty to use that when necessary in ways which elevate the art and experience.

I’ve finished three of the six digital companions and will share the remaining three leading up to the fair. Two of the works have pre-sold (will announce soon), and the rest will likely be auctioned or sold during Art Miami.

These pieces need to be seen in person and I hope to see you there.

Muse Facktory has a Warothy available in our custody, on behalf of a collector.

It’s Warothy #7, just the print, no digital. It’s in perfect condition.

If you have interest in acquiring this work, kindly dm.

[a.c.k. @lphaCentauriKid]

an honor to see ‘god of shadows’ make its way to the @0xMrjustice collection!

[a.c.k. @lphaCentauriKid]

you mustn't pick the purple flowers,
unless you wish to die,
you mustn't pick them,
dare i say,
and mustn't ask me why.

not one to talk numbers, but this is a proud moment for not just me, but all the Broken Key collectors, and especially @artthatfucks, who now has 5 pianos again! and not just any 5, but the first and the last, as 'i dreamt of you again' is the 48th Broken Key.

thanks to imo and @Gfunkera86 for the ATH sale, as well as @punk8868 and @ArtofConviction for acquiring their Pianos recently, and to everyone showing this collection love. it will be a special moment to see all 48 on wall together at Carnegie Hall, in the gallery which precedes the Grand Skull Piano Hall.

see imo's Broken Key collection below

It is always a good day when another piece from @lphaCentauriKid is added to the collection. Ack is a relentless maniac when it comes to his art – and I mean that as the highest of compliments. Greatness in anything is impossible without resolute grit, devoted passion, and the pursuit of perfection – all of which is clearly evident with Ack and his art.

I strongly believe Ack will be one of the most important artists of our generation – crypto, non-crypto, doesn’t f’n matter. Ack has chosen to be exceedingly meticulous as to what he puts into the universe, a fact that has resulted in less art of his for us to be able to collect.

Grab a Great Color Study, which is an awesome collection, or whatever you can by this mad scientist because I would speculate his works are going to be harder and harder to obtain.

For me, I’m just going to enjoy this majestic White Elephant this morning.

🖼️ 24 HOURS OF ART 📊 April 29, 2025

🎹 Muse Energy
Sometimes a specific artwork speaks loudest.

@punk8868 completes pursuit of 1 of 48 unique 'The Broken Keys' artworks by @lphaCentauriKid.

He first collects 'The Void' for 33.5 WETH from @AustinGrier1, before trading it plus 16.369 WETH for 'The Blue Forest' from @_seacasa.

Via Alpha Centauri Kid:
"Thor had his heart set on The Blue Forest, and even though it seemed unlikely, he channeled the Muse’s energy and pursued the vision. lo and behold, She delivered for him.

an absolute honor to watch it all unfold.

love to see collectors making deals and spending time and energy in the collection, searching for the works that speak to them.

very humbled and honored by it all"

The Alpha Centauri Kid news was not done:‍

'🫶' sells for 20 ETH to @droidfame via @SuperRare Private Sales.

The artwork is part of the April 2024 'heart you' 1/1/8 series and is the second collected by droidfame.‍

The collector also trades '‡misterShady‡' to @nf_suzanne in exchange for 'GOURMET SPICY' /24 by @XCOPYART and 'Chromie Squiggle #999' by @ArtOnBlockchain. The trade was brokered by @official_coder.

Minted in April 2022, the artwork is 1 of 10 'ACKPFP's.

💐 m0dest mischief
The exploration of @m0dest___'s past collections and mints continues with fervor:

'violet_mischief' sells for 8.9 ETH to @ArtofConviction from @LaurentNft64534, setting an all-time high for the artist.

The 1/1 artwork is 1 of 5 in the 'left_behind' collection, originally minted by the artist in January, 2024 as a thank you to his top 'alterego' collectors.‍

Via Conviction:
"These works predate his first collection 'Shadows' and I firmly believe that through time these will be his most valuable and sought after pieces as they represent the start of an amazing artistic journey we've had the privilege to watch play out.

m0dest's inspiration for his Genesis piece was Picasso's 'The Flowers of Peace (1958)' he writes:

'I grew up in a house where, on the wall above our dining room table, hung Picasso’s Flowers of Peace, 1958. For some reason, it has always stayed with me. The colors, the simplicity. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but it is in my heart nonetheless.'"‍

- 'alterego' 1/1/111: 6 sales for 4.6 ETH, list: 1.35 ETH
