NEW artwork
« The Long Way Home »
Inspired by Homer's Odyssey, this artwork reimagines Odysseus' legendary journey as he sails through a world shaped by gods, monsters & impossible choices.
The journey is as valuable as the destination itself.

A lot is said about this space, but what I experienced last week brought my wife & I to tears with gratitude for how this community came together for us during one of the most challenging moments in our lives.
We're still up against a lot, but now we don't feel so alone🫂🙏
I want to thank everyone who has collected from "PIECES" on SR this week.
It's really made a difference in my current situation. Feeling deeply grateful right now.
Thanks to @kdean / @CozomoMedici & @sjf_keef for minting these two 🙌🙏✨ // 👀 See them all👇
I need to be real with you all. I've gone back and forth about posting this but I can't stay quiet anymore.
My 4 year old son has a severe neurological condition. He's non-verbal and autistic and requires constant specialized care. That alone turned our family's life upside down. We found treatments that are extremely promising but they're just out of reach right now.
Then a few weeks ago, my 11 year old was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
What was already the hardest chapter of our lives just got significantly harder. We have a 4 year old with intensive daily needs, an 11 year old whose health now requires around the clock management, and a 1 year old. There aren't enough hours in the day and there aren't enough of us.
The art and design markets have been going through some serious changes and it's left us in the tightest financial spot we've ever been in. I'm not here for sympathy. I'm here because love and will do anything for them and have to exhaust every option I can.
If you or anyone you know needs creative work, I have 15+ years of experience across brand identity, creative direction, advertising, content, and AI art. I've worked with adidas, Nike, Google, Valentino, and many others. I'm ready to start immediately.
If you love the art, I have a small curation of unminted new works and my PIECES drop is live on SR. I'm also very open to commissions.
I've always tried to show up here with energy and positivity. Right now the most honest thing I feel I can do is show up with the truth instead.
I'm going to get my sons the care they need and get my family to a place where we can all thrive. If you can help from any angle, please reach out. If you can RT, that matters too.
DMs are open. 🙏
PSA: if you'd like to download a list of your own Nifty Gateway edition collectors, you can do this in Manifold Studio by importing your collection and then scheduling a snapshot.
1. Import your collection: https://t.co/xRn5ClqeTP
2. Enter your collection link (eg. https://t.co/tbChXyhNoB)
3. Create a new collector group: https://t.co/wwngUoubsq
4. Add your newly imported contract
5. Create a snapshot with this collector group: https://t.co/vRpdiF0exQ
Then wait for an email for the snaphot to complete. ✅
If you're a creator who published to Nifty Gateway using your own Manifold contract:
1. Tokens. Still accessible across all major marketplaces and via your https://t.co/IgixGH96kR account.
2. Assets. Images and videos remain available to all collectors with no action needed as they are published by default to decentralized permastorage (@ArweaveEco)
3. Provenance. All major transactions are linked to your onchain identity on major marketplaces and at https://t.co/EbcI3pW0nf
If you have Nifty Gateway collections but did not publish with Manifold, and wish to preserve them retroactively, reply here with a link to your work (OpenSea or Rarible links work) and we'll reach out with options.
We look forward to continue supporting our community with tools to publish on the decentralized web.
