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.

@IsolationistThe @introvoid 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

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}
