I took 10 years of experiments & turned it into a 10K collection that was produced in 20 minutes in front of a live audience. Minting now.

I recently deleted my entire history of tweets. Years and years of tweets. Ever since then, my Twitter feels like a ghost town. I must have enraged the algorithm by deleting my history. Can y’all do me a favor and like or reply if you see this? Just curious.

1/10 I'm excited to announce that on May 2nd, I will be creating the first IRL 10K NFT project. I will be creating 10,000 completely unique NFTs in 20 minutes (ish) start to finish without using generative code or AI. I'm calling it AURAS. (cont.)

Just saw a bunch of my friends on national news. So many of my friends kids were at the school shooting yesterday. One of my friend’s daughter was killed. My own daughter’s track coach was shot at. Had to bite my tongue yesterday because there’s just so much anger. Soooo much.

Today is a reminder at just how hard it is being an artist. Support as many artists as you can. Even if it’s just liking a tweet. Let them know they’re seen. You have no idea how much that means. I’ve been doing this artist grind for 20 years and it gets lonely. We need yall.

I’m still just sitting here, kinda paralyzed by the bliss of knowing the last 4 years are done. I’ve dreamt of this moment ever since day 1 of 45’s start. Ugh, we made it.

There’s a quote on top of my mind this morning from the book “The War of Art” that says “You’re most afraid of what you’re most called to do.” Does that ring true for anyone? It’s 100% accurate for me. So hard to overcome.

I think I’ve finally decided what an “artist” is. I think an artist is someone who would still create if there was no audience. If they were the last person on earth, they would still make their art.

Well, I had my closest encounter to death today I can ever remember. Somehow fell out of my raft right before we hit a class 4 rapid. Most dangerous one on the river. So I body surfed. Thought I was drowning & hit all kinds of rocks through it and somehow I’m unscathed. Whew. 🙏🏼

So, I have the most exciting news of my entire art career to announce: Since I was a child, I just wanted to be an artist. Picasso was my first love and later in life it became Basquiat and many others. Chuck Close, Annie Leibovitz, Andy Warhol, and endless others. 🧵

Class, dignity, grace, humility, empathy, maturity, a desire for unity and equality... ahhhhh. So good to see it all again. What a day for America.

I sent my last text to my older brother Mike around this time 7 years ago today. He was my age now, 43. Miss him everyday. It’s still so surreal that he’s gone. And it’s been 9 months since I lost my mom. Life is so short and so fragile. Hug your loved ones today.

I’m not afraid to address the elephant in the room. AURAS sales are slowish due to market conditions, high gas prices and meme coin domination. But I’m not deterred yall. AURAS is one of a kind. There is nothing else like it. Time will be really kind to this project. LG.

ICYMI, on May 2nd, I’ll be creating AURAS, a 10K NFT project live in 20 minutes start to finish without using generative code or AI. Crazy excited to announce that AURAS is dropping exclusively on a week later on Tuesday, May 9th. Official OS drop coming soon!

Something I’ve been really, really hesitant to say publicly but… it’s just the truth. I didn’t launch a 10K to buy a lambo. I launched it to help someone very special in my life. This is just part of my announcement in my discord just now.

So yeah…. I tested the photoshop AI thing today. It’s stupid insane good. Still can’t get over it. But I’m sad. It’s truly the end of an era. Soon, gone are the days of knowing what’s human made vs AI. Ugh. Also, there’s just no pride in AI, whatsoever. At least for me.

After spending tonight watching old home movies with my fam from the 70’s, 80s and 90s, I’m convinced the world was so much happier before phones and social media. We never knew what to be mad about. We were just happy and content to *be*. Incredible.

GM. Feeling discouraged by slow AURAS sales but crazy encouraged by my own community. Thankful to all who recognize AURAS as historic project. So proud of what we have done despite Web3 moving onto memecoin mania. If you support art, we’re minting!

So I just spent 2.5 hours shooting 2,000 photos of 76 of my NFT holders. People all over the world. It was LOVELY. Just incredible. Next level utility/community. Here are a few quick exports. These are all straight out of camera.

My wife and I have 4 children. One of them is an extreme challenge due to the trauma he endured before we adopted him. We’re reading a book called “Help for Billy” that is changing our lives. Better than counseling. Just figured another parent out there might need it too.

Also… new work of . This image is a unicorn. Not only is it my favorite image from the entire shoot but they’re actually using it as the album cover. WITH NO TYPE. Just letting the image alone be the cover. Unreal.

Big news! Given market conditions and high gas prices, I’ve decided to hook yall up and lower the price of AURAS. NEW prices: Free - Block Queens holders .033eth - allowlist .044 - public mint Now. Let’s rally together and show the market that NFTs are not dead, shall we?

I’m overjoyed to announce today the introduction of Lightography to the world. It’s an entirely new form of photography and digital media that I’ve invented (patent-pending) and I really view it as the next evolution of the portrait.

Trust me on this one: when working with friends, make it transactional. Get it in writing to avoid later confusion, drama and hurt feelings. A transaction doesn’t mean your relationship is transactional. The transaction reflects how much you value your friendship.

I’ve been thinking a lot about style this week. Does an artist have to stick to a vibe? Personally, I don’t think so. My next 1/1 drop will be wildly different from anything else I’ve done. I just follow the ideas, no matter what they are. Art shouldn’t have rules.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the hardest part is just starting. Pen on paper. Go walk 1 mile. Eat clean for 1 day. Just find a starting point. You’ll be so glad you did.

I’m so over the idea of cancelling anyone or anything. May we all develop a better understanding of the ideas of grace, forgiveness and a deep belief in 2nd chances.

Am I the only artist that isn’t a fan of all these new AI tools emerging where we can just type prompts to make “art”? I find it super depressing. I hate that in the future, the first question we’ll ask when seeing good art is “Was this made by a human or a machine?” Yuck.

It never ceases to amaze me that if you put out personal projects into the world that you’re passionate about, good things WILL come to you. It might take time but it WILL happen. Proof of this just happened to me today. Blown away.

I’m a perfectionist. I spent 4 days last week going through all 10,000 auras. Realized yesterday they’re not good enough. Re-edited them ALL today during all the launch madness. They’re uploading tonight for reveal tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what yall get!

I’m elated to announce that I recently received early access to Apple’s brand new 16-inch MacBook Pro M2 Max. As an Apple user for 28 years (!!!) this was a dream come true to try and push the machine to it’s limits.

Have you ever seen an artist be really amazing and creative and then over time, they kind of fade, lose their vision and just try to do what everyone else is doing? And become totally irrelevant in the process? That’s Instagram.

Here’s a brief look at how I shot 10,000 unique photos in 20 minutes and some results attached. (I was firing the camera with the remote in my hand)
