I took a look over some of our "leading Light" accounts in the crypto art space. I scrolled back a few weeks, a month or 2 maybe, on each of them, and you know what I saw?
Not a single post talking about art...

Thieves of Eyes & Legs
It is no longer enough to have ones finger on the pulse, now you need to have that blood under a microscope, checking each cell everyday and posting your findings quickly before it oxidises and the content impact is lost.

Standing ovations for simple jokes - How outsized praise distorts outside perception.
We see this with regularity in the art world, some piece is held up, elevated by the oligarchs or institutions, and we all scratch our heads wondering why?

You’ll see these posts occasionally they’ll take a logo from a large brand, draw centre lines across them, and gleefully tweet about how “big company make dumb mistake” because the image doesn’t line up.

One of my few physical artworks.
A series of printed receipts & poems documenting and reflecting on the aids epidemic. They denote death toll and moments of defiance
These receipts were then scanned in, recompiled, and printed on birchwood to decompose.

We need more political art.
So much more.
In fact we, as the contemporary wave of artists and collectors, have a responsibility to raise our voices with hard spoken words.
For we teeter on the edge of loss
So we need maps drawn to guide us back to hope & deliver us from evil.

No angel will reach out to stay our hand.
We must accept that the choice is ours.
Do we sacrifice the needs of tomorrow, to indulge our wants today?
Do we lick the boot? Or help pry it off the necks of others.

If there are limitations, create strengths around them. Dont bastardise an idea by forcing it in to another’s skin.

The Aftermath of Greed
This building stood for over 100 years, it had protected status.
The newest owners left it, much needed housing, vacant, derelict, rotting, for a decade.
Simply because the land was more profitable without the building
The city was recently forced to destroy it for safety.

NASA and JPLs DSN explored through art. Typography, illustration, and digital collage combine with subtle elements of poetry. Focused in particular on Canberra. I sourced the collage elements by collecting and scanning a large amount of vintage paperwork.

A definite contender for my favourite photo of those I’ve taken.
The area is a set of overpasses, the pedestrian is just emerging from a tunnel that has a LED billboard in it providing the backlight.
Shot at 200mm handheld, stretching up over a wall, leaning beneath a railing.

Getting better at finding photos and following the light. Trying to vary my editing so as to treat each photo as its own piece, rather than just throw my presets at them.
