Exactly 2 years ago today, I got the shock of my life. Mid 30s, recently swam 4 mile open water swim for charity, quit my job as a teacher to pursue a career as an artist full time, ready to take on the world.
Suddenly a pain in my chest, feeling like an elephant was sitting on…

We Need To Talk About Something...
On Friday I was super pumped about collecting my first 1/1 piece on Tezos.
After scouring through the 200+ replies to my OP, I was blown away by the quality of art.
I loaded up my wallet & finally narrowed down to 3 pieces (and artists) I…

I like Warpcast, but sooner rather later, many people are going to realise they're trapped in a multilevel marketing pyramid where the goalposts are going to keep on moving to keep you trapped.
Self employed artists, don't forget who you work for.

I told my daughter today that I made the front page of Objkt with my tezpole art.
She said, okay - what's tezpole?
I started to explain in detail.
She listened.
She then said, 'so it's a pole?'
I said yes.
She said, 'well why didn't you say that in the first place?'

Tezpole Predictions:
People get tezpole fatigue
Angry tweets about tezpole elitism
Increased supply of tezpole art
Other blockchain communities protest tezpole art with their own pole art
Pole art becomes divisive
Artists are split into pro-pole & anti-pole

The solution to the Tezos art problem lies with us:
1. Waiting on any external organisation to support our vision is not a long term plan.
2. Comparing the results of this blockchain or that is apples & oranges.
3. We must believe in what we're creating as individuals.

Thought I'd share smth few people know about me:
I have a Masters in Fine Art
I'm a Writer/Director here in the UK
Retro Manni started 3 years ago as a means of escapism from that highly controlled + confined world.
Thanks to NFTs, it's taking over my world...

Being an artist solely on Tezos is crazy. It's highly likely to lead to catastrophic failure.

The more I see artists create hi-res, visually perfect pieces,
the more I move towards low-res visual imperfection - full of artefacts & technical impurities.
I never thought this would be my defining quality as an artist 😅
And if you saw my art in 2022 you'd agree.

For years I tried to develop an Art style, both as a filmmaker and as a digital artist. But I always fell short.
I've since liberated myself from any Art style & instead hyper focussed on a singular narrative.
Storytelling is my strength. I just needed to focus on it.

10 things we can all learn from tezpole weekend:
1. The future of tezos relies on artists
2. Artists didn't like their work exhibited on poles
3. Artists now want their art exhibited on poles
4. Turning tragedy to triumph is more fun than you think
5. Despite popular opinion,…
