Solana is for art 💜
So after years building in this space i ran my first solo comics & art drop across the best SOL art platforms last Q4
Not just a single mint - a multi-week campaign
- digital & phygitals
- 127 physicals tagged up & NFC hardcoded
- collabs w/ artists I admire
- spaces, streams
- 215k impressions overall
Here’s how it went 🧵1/7
art gets you in the door. story is why you stay.
no exceptions.
i once saw a table at a convention covered in the sickest art i'd ever seen. i bought the first issue on the spot. finished it on the train home. never went back for the second one.

proper networking, or relationship building, isnt constantly hitting people with an aggressive pitch.
it's showing up consistently with real work. letting people watch you get better & making true connections. it takes time but it builds stronger partnerships.

thanks for your inspiration @RoachWrites_@monix_art
Kickstarter didn't just give creators a way to fund books it gave them a way to say NO to bad deals and take their IP into their own hands without being broke.
That changed the game for comic & manga creators at scale more than anything else in the last decade.
