Hey everyone, starting today I’m going into deep art-focused mode until March. For me, that means no email, no meetings, and no social media. My team will still be here to keep the ship running- it’ll be a little while before you hear from me personally.
🧵 with some thoughts.

Hi everybody, please be INCREDIBLY cautious when doing anything on Twitter or Discord involving QQL. Scammers are out in force with fake accounts, including *verified* Twitter accounts. Quadruple check everything, report scammers, and remember that I will not DM you with offers

I'm amazed that Twitter allows verified accounts to change their name, description, pfp, and their behavior drastically without any red flags getting raised. Reports seem to go unnoticed for days. It makes those accounts huge (and successful) targets for takeover by scammers.

Terribly excited to show Return One [Blue], my largest painting on canvas to date. It took months of experimentation to fine-tune the techniques that went into this painting. It’s a real pleasure to see it in person with all the beautiful artifacts of the painting process.

Experimental plotter painting. Instead of using a pen in the plotter, I've been playing with using a brush and paints. It's kind of a pain to babysit the process and manage the paint tray, but so fare I'm enjoying the results.
