Happy Screw Day aka June 27th
RIP DJ Screw - Rober Earl Davis Jr. 🙏🏼
'Promethapepe' by the homie
@slugforceone
to commemorate 🤌🏼
this was slugs genesis piece minted on the eth blockchain, purchased for .627 eth for the culture. . . .nom sayyin' 🫡
more👇🏼
hot take:
collectors, if you’re not just as excited/proud to share a piece of art that you collected for .1 eth, than a piece you collected for 10+ eth, are you really here for the art?
art is art 🤌🏼
price is often times poorly correlated to the actual quality of the work
👇🏼
i know this is a big statement, but fuck it 🤍
'i aspire to be the Rick Rubin of digital arts culture. not a 'creator', but a supporter, guider, & nurturer of raw talent, giving artists a comfortable place to explore, collab, grow, and ultimately create art in its purest form'
many, many years ago, i made some of the largest purchases of btc & eth of my life, while headlines everywhere claimed crypto is dead 💀
i find it beautifully ironic that todays current headlines are now calling nfts dead 💀
do what you will with this,
i’m comfy 🤍💀
wow, i'm truly humbled by you guys 🥹🤍
in the spirit of my return to my web3 fam, i felt a giveaway was in order

'cerberus' 1/1 by the insanely talented
@ripcache
"In Greek mythology, Cerberus, often referred to as the 'Hound of Hades', is a 3-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving." 💀

really curious to hear the replies on this one...🤍
artists, if you had infinite eth, but could only buy back one of your creations that has been collected, which piece would you buy back and why?
I take pride in featuring art from upcoming/not well known artists 🤍
💎reminder - curating has NOTHING to do with just buying art from artists who everyone is gushing about
true curation is having the ability to look past others observations and form your own conclusions 🫡🤍

i've always been a fan of complexity masked by simplicity, & this piece embodies this concept masterfully🤯
there is so much more going on in this piece than initially meets the eye...lets dive in w/ a 🧵

random thought while reading this am 🤍
*important that i preface this with, ultimately, it is, and always will be, the artists decision, on what is best for them; and there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way.
i am sharing this in hopes of planting a seed for thought 🤍

looked over and saw my son getting frustrated on his iPad last night
he had searched and found a basic animation app and was determined to make his first animation sequence
after finding hacks and workarounds to accomplish his vision this is what he came up with, so proud🥹🤍
i’m a big believer in not forcing things, but rather, be in tune with what the universe is trying to tell me🤍
