@RiceFarmerNFT @buddyfranklin_ This is a pretty privileged way to look at this if you're an artist who can't afford constant developer space. And people are allowed to be human and fail, this absolutist bullshit makes the community infinitely more toxic.
Way to go #NFT community, calling an incredibly accomplished, @Smithsonian featured artist an "amateur." Compared to... #cryptopunks art?
This kind of casual misogyny is the norm in web3, it's not the exception. Disgusting, everyone go support @cathsimard_ please.
#NFTCommunity
The NFT market does not mirror the art market. Thereโs a speculative bubble that propelled amateur art to unreasonable prices, for instance the late Ren Hangโs non-NFT photos can be purchased for $10-20k, whereas an amateur photographer such as @cathsimard_ with an NFT will too
The NFT space isn't necessarily open & accessible so I'm thankful for a computer and a group of friends already slogging through the pixel muck who asked me to create hybrid analog/digital NFTs for them at @Warp_Curated. They are curating artwork that will stand the test of time
@jswiderpeltz's "plyo", from his upcoming #nft series "Still in Motion."
Each piece takes twenty+ hours, is painstakingly drawn, measured, & colored by hand, with minimal room for error.
Imagine a stray marker slip after 20 hours.๐ฑ๐ณ

@metastash I think thereโs an issue in the space where people expect things to happen at light speed when in reality a sustainable business takes years to develop. Because of this, Iโm assuming that certain teams make statements to appease the community even though they arenโt ready
Jeffrey Swider-Peltz's "Stack II", from his upcoming #nft series "Still in Motion."
JSP is an Olympic speedskater for #TeamUSA who fell in love with graffiti, you can almost feel that sense of flow and movement in his work. His style mimics photoshop-like layers without a cpu.
Flippancy aside, we all know @justinaversano has done incredible work for the photography and #NFTcommunity, and he is an inspiration and aspiration for artists around the country both on and off the #blockchain. Real talk.
@trslzr @SiouxsieQMedia@ItsMichaelVegas It helps overlooked artists sustain a living and create wealth without being taken advantage of by their platforms.
@trslzr @SiouxsieQMedia@ItsMichaelVegas For perspective, worldwide #Bitcoin C02 emissions are 1/5th of US air conditioning consumption and 1/136th of Beef Industry's 3B tonnes of C02 emissions. Does #NFT and Crypto create 1/136th of the utility and joy of beef to its users? I would say yes! ๐ฅฐ
@trslzr @SiouxsieQMedia@ItsMichaelVegas "Bitcoin production is estimated to generate between 22 and 22.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year" -Reuters
"Air conditioners ... in the US... a result, roughly 117 million metric tons of carbon dioxide are released into the air each year." -Energy.gov
