I am not the earliest collector but a relatively early collector in this space.
My goal has always been to find the less known and unknown (up and coming artists) in the space.
I thought I would give you a little background about myself. I have taken several path's in my life, one of which I think is helpful in my current journey with NFTs. About 2 decades ago, I was studying to be a product designer.
If you want to see some of my work, they are listed below. From the print class, B&W film and prints developed in a dark room, dodge and burn by hand. Sketches from my perspective class, some marker work, and a pencil drawing. Hope you enjoyed a small glimpse into my past.
Gm. I am the proud dad of my second daughter, third child. Born at 4:21 am.
Hope you are all doing well! Remember to enjoy your loved ones!
Enjoy and have a blessed weekend!

Artists & Creators- This thread will cover the following topics. This is my opinions and thoughts on them. Others may have good points to add.
-What does a collector want to see.
-How to price your work.
Q: What are you looking at when deciding if an NFT is worth investing in?
I mean if people really want scarcity…they would want artists pumping editions to live on and then making 2-6 1/1s a year. And support the artists in doing this. Seems obvious.
Artists, you do you. I will support and continue to buy the art like I always have.
This for those that may need it tonight. I have been off Twitter all day. Just catching up on what happened. Feels bad man.
Time to get outside more. Buy that 1/1 you always wanted. Support small creators.
I won't complain though, if I had stuck with that path, I wouldn't be where I am today. I much prefer the path I am on today. For you out there feeling down, don't worry, you can press through and you will be on the best path for you.
Why I stopped? I didn't think I was good enough. I was taking classes to go to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. My classmates were the best out there. I was surrounded by talent I could not believe. I know that feeling you get about your work not being good enough.
I really loved it and learned so much. I took classes such a typography, color theory, black & white photography, perspective, a print class, textures, etc., etc.
If you did or didn't buy items from the Seasons Collection, I want to see derivatives! Drop them below! It has been so awesome to see them trickle in. I want to see them again in one place! Please retweet! Thank you!
Gm gm from somewhere in Tahoe. Hope everyone has a great weekend! We will be with and without power throughout the weekend. But family time in the snow will be a go all weekend!
I need some help. Working on some learning.
This post will be directed towards photographers.
If you could post under the category you fit in, 1. Your photograph, 2. What makes it a good photograph.
Thank you! I really appreciate it. Make sure to retweet it!
Artists:
My thoughts about the market and how to list items:
1. I love Buy It Now, because if I see something I can get it. I feel like the artist listed it for a price they thought was fair. I think this is best when the market is flat or declining, but terrible in a hot market.
I haven’t posted any updates on physical pieces I have received for about a month. I was busy with the birth of my son in May. But will be posting those updates starting tonight.
Gm gm! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Did my first attempt at vegan biscuits last night for some friends.
They were really good. Didn’t rise like usual, but think I can fix that.
Gm gm. It’s that time of the week. Biscuits. A great time to spend with the family.
Hope everyone progresses and moves forward this week! 🫂
What’s on your agenda?
Artists...this is crypto. There are lots of scammers. If an account/collector is flashing trading pictures and account size, but then asking for just a little ETH to help them close a contract, to pay for gas to move money...please politely ignore and block them.
