In the Monkey Business with @SamSpratt

Joined July 2009
Thank you for being with me and Sam this weekend. We know it wasn’t a short trip or a small ask. I feel so overwhelmed and grateful to do this. For a couple hundred of us to be able to gather like this is so beautiful for me. I hope after seeing the artwork the way it’s meant to

WHAT GIVES ART ITS VALUE? I have been thinking about this question quite a lot recently. Why does some art merely please us while other art becomes priceless? A useful way to answer it is to separate the qualitative appeal of art from the financial mechanisms that allow that

This interview is a very very very good way to get to know Sam. Reading and re-reading it makes the insanity of our last few years together, this year with Masquerade most of all, and the total madness of what we’re making now, just make total sense in a goopy kind of way.
1/15 The conversation with @SamSpratt showed me how someone’s very existence can become a piece of art. The depth, the passion, the prudence… read it carefully if you’re an artist and read it carefully if you’re a collector. Bookmark it because you’ll likely come back to it🧵❤️

4 years ago today I got to start over. There were no collectors, no audience, no observations, no masks, no museums, no council, just the seeds for them. These 3 here, were the most I could muster at the time. The best and clearest answer to deal with a decade of failed attempts

Gm from Gazers #826 in the collection of @SamSpratt, beside "Prophecy of the Eclipse." It was really special to receive this mask from Sam while watching the masquerade reveal on the date of a lunar eclipse in March. I was privileged to gain greater perspective on Sam's work
Do you see what is happening? Are you paying attention? On today's Forged of Favored we learn that something is coming for what is yours, don't be caught off guard - don't be too naive or someone will take advantage of your vulnerability. "Prophecy of the Eclipse" - a 🧵

A mess of additions to the Masquerade and Mask Market we announced in Toledo are now live. I walk through them in the video but the purpose is to continue to close the distance between each mask from one another and close the distance between each mask and the Masquerade itself,

It took over 2 years, but The Key that I hid scattered across The Monument Game has been found. How it was found, @0xHyla outlines in his thread which I encourage all to read. The Key belongs to the gate of the place where those who have also been looking under the surface

Reason 10000 I love Sam. This is just so joyful. I remember when he first showed me this sketch & told me about the game within the game . To give the source of The Monument Game 2 years later to someone who earned it with just their eyes is so beautiful. 🥺🥺🥺 Congrats

I am incredibly moved by the wave of support last night after the screening of my documentary about @SamSpratt, the creation of Masquerade, and all the colorful characters that have become an inseparable part of it. Guests told me they laughed and cried. And thankfully people

Last night, as the credits rolled on @joeyldotcom’s film premiere at the museum, I looked at every face in the crowd and felt light. Every single one, whether alongside us for years, or met for the first time, felt for us like we had - through pure magic or staggering luck,
