Forever grateful to everyone on Solana and my early supporters. May the rebels, the pirates and the fiercely independent rise to the top.
This is just the beginning of the Sleepr story.
Just feels like validation is around the corner for many collectors and 1/1 artists on Solana. Very proud to be part of it.
It's clear that the early art scene on Sol will go down in history very positively, as an important, democratizing post-eth chapter in digital art history.
I am proud to share today that I am beginning a non-profit research center called VIPAS - the Visual Institute of Psychedelic Arts and Science.
Over the coming months, I'll be rolling out a series of projects at the institute, such as paid artist retreats.

I'm very selective with who I work with. I've turned down many opportunities that aren't aligned to a long term execution strategy.
I'm really proud to be working with Toshi and Bu. They both have a quality of character that takes a lifetime to cultivate.

Through thick and thin, week in week out, Sleepr shows up. There is nothing I love more than doing this, I'm so thankful to you all.
My consistent use of psychedelics has given me extreme sensitivities to subtle visual details, pattern recognition processes, intentionality.
I am convinced that in the future we will have AI driven readouts of jpeg art that will unpack their immense depth and complexity.

An offer was made and accepted 15 mins after posting this morning. Long live the urban magicians, playing around with real magic and home brews.
Life has been really challenging for me over the past year. I've been living in a very traumatic situation that I'd never wish on anyone.
This situation has finally ended and I'm out the other side. It's kept me very humble. The complexity of life is so challenging for us all.
Over the past two months of not releasing work, I've been neck deep in vision quests: Consistent high dose ayahuasca acacia brews, heroic dose psilocybin sessions in pitch black rooms, DMT filled Friday nights.
When I stare at this new work, I am in genuine awe.
Three days.
Exotic Collection
A photo album of locations around the world where the strange world of spirits enter and morph reality. Like a dream, there are many worlds in worlds. The series aimed to capture exotic aesthetics. Real artists play with real magick. This is the key to Sleepr.
I grew up being trained on ego-death experiences. The irony in my identity being hidden is that even the human suit - behind the mask and booth - is playing hide and seek with truth too.
We all tell ourselves stories about who we really are. Just remember: you made it all up.
I'm not interested in mediocrity.
I would rather lose it all than to not achieve history. This isn't a hobby, career or self-expression. It's a genuine attempt at picking an invisible lock I found to a hidden compartment. Others know about it too.
Humans chartering the unknown.

The piece 'The Red Room' that defines a new aesthetic of exotic taste is now up for auction on
@exchgART
. This piece really feels haunting, charged and new.
24 hour auction. Ends 6pm Friday ET.
Art is like a combination lock to visions of the future. There are so many safes to crack open with insane hidden jewels. Artists figure out complex light combinations that reveal properties and visions we don't fully understand yet.
Some work, some don't. Real magic though.
Art Basel, work in progress: Day 2 of 5
Completely in the zone today. Captured the heart of the piece. Lots of detail work left. Complex reflective geometry used as the background with infills per shape under x px wide - not seen anyone do this technique. Ensure clarity not mud.
THE SLEEPR GRAIL
Midnight Guests (2012)
First work minted or ever sold by the artist (Oct 2021). Bold and expressive abstraction set in a interior dining hall - it's characteristic of the Sleepr style. Beautiful chaos. Superflat impossibilia. Carving a new path in the jungle.
