1) Why do I use VHS in my Art?
It's not to just look "retro."
Combining obsolete and cutting edge technology is an aesthetic intervention that lets me transport the viewer outside of their present reality. It's not Here, and it's not Then, so it makes you ask... When?

I was minting NFTs for a year and a half before my work started to sell regularly.
Start simple, be thoughtful, and put one foot in front of the other. Lean in to the people who support you early, because they really appreciate the work.
Enjoy the journey. 🌈

When people dismiss NFT culture for being all “tech bros,” the erasure of folks like myself actually hurts us more than the inequality they are trying to gain moral righteousness points for calling out.

Artists are selling their work for the first time. Artists are paying off their student loans. Artists are making their rent without working soul-crushing day jobs.

Aesthetic has become so open source that it no longer has innate value.
All tools are valid. But, the artist must have a strong, clear voice in their work - otherwise, it’s just a demo of what the tools can do.
You know it when you see it. And you know it when it’s not there.

1) As a naturally curious cat, my Art straddles a number of realms. This variety has its value, as different creations appeal to different people.
I began naming the current strains of my work this year in order to help map the Sarahcosm (😉) for others.
They are as follows:

When you see an artist with a super recognizable style, you’re witnessing years of experimentation infused with a singular viewpoint.
We all have the same tools available to us. It takes a true witch to make something unique with the same wand anyone else could use. 🧙♀️🌈

If you're looking to work with artists, remember that we're all traumatized from years of folks looking to trick and exploit us. So... be gentle, don't bullshit us, and don't take it personally if we're deeply suspicious when you say you want to do something nice for us. 😅

Can you imagine if Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Giphy, TikTok, etc. rewarded creators for building their platforms the way
@SuperRare
just did with $RARE?
I think it’s the only way they could survive the transition to Web 3.0. No one will make content for free in the future.

I’m a bit shocked there hasn’t been more press coverage about what

Transferring collective ownership to the users who give the platform value is an earth-shaking move for a tech company.

Every time ETH prices rise, art prices drop.
Folks who are new to the space + not used to volatility think only about $$$ value, not able to see the long-term implications of dropping their ETH prices.
This is the fertile time for collectors to make *ridiculously* good pickups.

Noticing a lot of creative folks who’ve done well with NFTs jumping on the “web3 is a scam” bandwagon lately… I guess to look cool?

In crypto art, everyone needs to find their own rhythm. For minting, for participating, for promoting.
There’s no right way to do things, only the right way for you to do *your* thing.
If you feel lost, keep going. Keep watching. Keep learning how you’re a part of all this.

Artists, there's nothing more important than your friendships with other artists in this space.
Talk to each other. Share your experiences. You never know what someone can warn you of privately that they wouldn't speak about publicly.
Our network is our strength.

Being included in Sotheby's "Natively Digital" NFT sale is a leveling up.
But it's not just mine. It's for all the artists who shared their work on tumblr for the love of it. It's for anyone who ever collected my art. It's for all the micro-communities I've hung out in.

Four years ago today I minted my first artwork on the blockchain.

The first time I took LSD I scribbled “How do I bring this back so that others may use it” hundreds of times.
The Promethean impulse is strong within us. We want to steal fire from the gods so we can figure out new ways to do things.

Oh, the “glitch sale” at Sothebys - shows a profound lack of knowledge about the subject they’re presenting (sadly not uncommon at a commercial art institution).

I made the decision many moons ago to work under my own name and not pseudonymously, even though there was tons of depressing research pointing out the many ways female creatives are undervalued.

Crypto Art is not a Multi-Level Market (or pyramid scheme). It’s just a market.
Yes, if you get in late to a market, you have more competition and it’s harder to get a share. But there’s no one above you incentivized to bring you in.
Crucial difference.

Been feeling a little blue lately. I have much to be grateful for. But it wears you down to have your life's work be talked about like it's a joke.
It wears you down to advocate for something that many treat so cynically from within.
Anyway, here's a photo of my art being used…

The thing that impresses me the most - about both others and myself - is the sheer force of will it takes to manifest your visions in this world.

Buying Art isn’t an act of Charity (even if the support can prove life-changing for the artist).
We buy Art we connect with, often because it reflects something about us back to ourselves.
Bear that in mind when you speak to collectors. Communicate the story as best you can.

My Art collecting thesis: I collect artists that I respect. And I find new artists that I respect through other artists I respect.
Look at what artists are collecting. Financial advice aside. This is how you find Art that buoys your soul when adrift in a sea of meaninglessness.

It’s become clear that folks seem to think strobing = glitch.
True-ish in a reverse-engineered way, as a lot of glitches do comprise fast, chaotic motion.
But seems to me that the signifier has lost all touch with the signified… the concept of “glitch” itself has glitched.

Presenting the elimination of royalties as an innovation reflects the trend of platforms adding tools we don’t need while omitting ones that we fought to establish.
If they serve traders as their customers and not artists, they will find themselves without meaningful product.

Curation is not at odds with decentralization. Encouraging personal taste and providing context for culture are aligned with the social thrust toward individual empowerment.
To conflate “curator” with “gatekeeper” is to vilify discourse around the quality of Art. Which is… bad.
