On Sept 27th_a year ago_ I made this drawing. It introduced the color washes, a turning point in my style and practice.
I've been running full speed ever since. The next step is to regain control over my time and my creative moments. I want to be ready for another bullish year.
Last night I had set an alarm at 4:20 to wake me up to watch the plotter work finish. Lots of sludge on the 0.1 nib, I had not enough energy to pause and clean it. Anyway, there, officially back to plotting again !🙌
At my age many people’s souls died already; mine was born again when I met you. Among the gifts u gave me is the possibility to have a piece of refreshing digital land for my soul. Paying due respect to a mentor,

Before NFTs I was never able to help.
I'm happy.
Thank you 💚
Back in June, after plotting a tree close-up in A4, I found out that the code was actually generating the entire tree. Began a patient discovery of its territory. The Oak Tree, 15 plotter drawings, framed.

Creatives, builders, explorers, in the NFT world. We never saw such an energy, such a belief in a better world. We'll go through storms_ just don't change your vision or who you are. Nothing in us is defeated. I'll keep on serving with my art. 💚💚💚💚💚
Tonight I've let my code attempt a different style of output, using filled shapes with transparency along with the usual occlusion system for the lineart. It's interesting, not suitable for plotter though.

This small variant from the original "Sunflowers" algorithm was sent to a list of ~100 wallets of artists and collectors from Ukraine for them to hold, sell, accept offers, gift ...

I am sorry.
I had an affair with another blockchain.
For days I didn't sleep, I didn't eat, I was miserable. And then it spent all my money in fancy gas fees.
Please forgive me. Let me come back, I promise, we'll mint happily together for the rest of our lives.
I want to share a news that got me excited for the future of NFTs !
On Monday, national French post

Here's a triptych of the 3 generative artworks that I've created last month, for different purposes although I've tried to give them a bond, partly with a matching aspect ratio (16/9 format in portrait) and by minting them on the same smart contract.

In the train back from London and my very first NFT gathering.
What can I say.
NFT people are real. The most passionate, positive, friendly, humble, energising, crazy in a sane way. What a time meeting all of you. I enjoyed every second of it. Love you, thank you everyone 💚

You changed my life.
I love your energy, I love being in this space.
I have to take a break from minting. At least from the regularity of the drops. Possibly a month.
There's a piece on Versum +a last one on Teia for later tonight.

I'd like to start a thread about you.
A honest thread, open to Q&A, where people can share their worries/facts/gossips/whatever
I hope that you can answer and that nobody trolls the thread (please).

No, I agree re: TF and the others at the wheel. They are completely ignoring the powerful community we’ve built that could help sustain value on the chain. But the hit that tezos, solana, cardano, etc took has to do with explicitly being called out in the SEC complaint

Dear collectors.
Your support of "Landscape with Carbon Capture" has gone beyond the wildest expectations.
An immense display of support.
However the team needs to discuss some questions we have about the supply, and other little things.
So we are
PAUSED FOR TEA BREAK ☕️
Still from the airport after a weekend in London with my 9 y.o Zélie. A few meet-ups with NFT friends, then galleries, museums, shops. Even had the luxury to fall asleep watching Avatar (1st time in a cinema in years) but mostly, spending time with my kid, was precious.
On behalf of my 4400 followers 😉, I'd like to give a warm welcome to

and for his successful purchase. We know the interface can be a trick there.
The least I could do was making a special 1/1 for you sir. I hope you like it 🌿
Today I made some bad art, some medium art, and eventually some pretty damn good art. Nothing to show or to mint ; I'm just happy that I created ! I wanted to share that.
Gn !
All of a sudden I got sick and couldn't wake up or eat for 2 days, and another for my brain to start functioning again. Maybe I pushed too hard too. Still rather dizzy and weird. Sorry fam for the lack of responses, hope to get back to my senses quickly. GM !🌿

I've built a tool that automates the making of construction videos of my generative artworks in batch.
To achieve consistency it measures the length/area of every stroke/shape drawn and balances the rendering across a target video duration🤓🌿

It's such a pleasure to see "Synchronicity" being widely shared, people gifting their friends and relatives with their first NFT of the year, celebrating a great and lively artistic community in spite of the tough times in terms of currency value.
Big, big day for a french dude in NY. I have a lot to catch up with, low energy, need to refuel, so just before I collapse in the hotel bed, I want to say thank you, and if you have any question regarding anything, write it here and I'll do my best to reply come morning. gn !💚💚

I haven't taken a single day off since I'm doing NFTs. Today I'm getting 10 days off. No laptop, no internet (or scarcely ), probably no clothes considering the forecast 🌞🔥 10 days in hellllll baby ! Meeting there with

Engaging body and soul into art-making for the past 2 years has been the greatest escape from real life responsibilities. I went full throttle exploring new worlds and enjoyed every bit of it !
Responsibilities, they come back and haunt you; let me handle this, I'll be back soon

I was there. For two hours, under the shade of that tree, contemplating a segment of eternity.
I wish
I could get rid of the other things.
Long shadows still casting over the tender grass.
I wish I could become a generative artist full time.

An efficient way to draw a filled circle with a plotter is to start with the outline and after one full revolution reduce the radius to make a spiral.
spi=(x,y,r,q,e)=>{let L=[],t=r,a=0,i,f=2*e/PI;while(t>q)L.push({x:x+t*co(a),y:y+t*si(a)}),a+=i=1/t,t-=a<P2?0:i*f;return L}
