@Maxis Please improve your 5G data service stability. Keep getting disconnected and service interruption even in KL city areas. So unstable and unreliable. Useless bring fast but unstable. Fix it.

This is a magical project and one that will forever be something I’m proud of. Working with @justinaversano has been amazing. Owning the full color set is outrageous and amazing. Happy to be a part of it!! Congrats Justin!!!

A story on Accumulation and Conviction in Web 3:

Firstly, we are infinitely Grateful to share that we have successfully acquired a full set of 78 of my colorful Smoke and Mirrors Tarot Scrolls. We are Thankful for everyone in the community who helped make this happen with us!!!

Jason and I launched this mixed media Nft project in February, 2021 out of @gabbagallery. We were in the studio up until the beginning of 2023 producing all of the silkscreens in the collection; Some of which are being exhibited in galleries, fairs, and museums today!

We originally sold each NFT with its physical counterpart for .21 ETH. At the time I believed in releasing all of the artworks into circulation and not holding onto an entire set. So that we may participate in the ecosystem of the artwork in a noble and honest way.

By the middle of 2023 after royalties became controversial and non-existent on most platforms. I realized two things.

1. Since there were no royalties being honored any longer, there was not a sustainable way to bring in 10% of all sales, as artists had originally depended on. Then it became clear to me to start collecting my artwork and participate in my own success. And by buying back my artworks I would have a larger stake and ownership in the pieces that I could potentially sell at a later date for 100% instead of a 10% royalty.

2. How historically important it was for us to own a full set of colorful tarot scrolls after one of my biggest collectors, LFT.eth, purchased a full black and white set of the Dark Papyrus 1/3 edition for 250k. This generous act inspired me to start committing most, if not all, of my crypto into buying back and trading to redeem all of the colorful scrolls once again!

Before it was too late, I knew there would not be another opportunity to own a full colorful set. So I do what I normally do, and set out to do the irrational & impossible!

The discipline & dedication to the craft and undeniable belief in myself was the driving force behind Twin Flames and is now the factor for Smoke and Mirrors to manifest the completion. I know that someday this collection will show side by side with Andy Warhol’s Campbells Soup Can Collection which is housed at MoMA. To juxtapose with one of my artistic inspirations working in different mediums.

I’m in the business of making dreams come true through how the art works!
