Some projects stand because someone believes in them before they have shape, before there is final structure or certainty, when all you have is a direction, a bit of faith, and the quiet feeling that this matters Bali Art Residency - Chapter Two grew from that exact moment. And it grew because nine people chose to stand with us when we needed it most ⚫️ @Ars0nic & @SgtPepeWorld Who became our Agung Patrons this year. Your support carried the largest weight, but it was your presence, sharing every milestone, speaking on our behalf, that made the difference. You didn’t just back us, you walked with us ⚫️ @spumma Our Batur Patron, someone life kept placing on my path, always in warm and unexpected ways. You cared more than anyone about the artists’ feedback, about improving the process, about making this residency cleaner, clearer, better. You stayed close, and it mattered ⚫️ @maxpretends The first person to believe in me over a year ago, in what looked like a wild idea that somehow turned into a success. You’re here again as a Titra Patron, still part of this story, even though we still haven’t met in person. Faith like that leaves a mark ⚫️ @snow_nft Who stepped in at the crucial moment last year and returned this year as a Titra Patron. You amplified every artist, sharing their work again and again. Your generosity travels far ⚫️ @x_lansky Titra Patron and the guardian of the Grifter by @XCOPYART that helped me fund Chapter One. This year you became an integral part of Chapter Two. Some people enter quietly and then become foundational ⚫️ @eastoire & @0xblithe Artists who became Titra patrons. There’s nothing more meaningful than creators using their own success to open doors for others. This is the kind of cycle that builds futures ⚫️ @iamcfw Who reminded me that I am, at my core, a curator and that supporting this project is simply the right thing to do. Your clarity landed at the perfect moment ⚫️ @redbeardnft He would probably say, “this is how we build.” But in truth, his actions already say more than his words. What he does for the digital art scene and what he did for us this year is the kind of support that becomes folklore And to every member of the Lotus Patron Club, @theDAMmuseum & @DePhidotfun and their grant - thank you for not staying indifferent, for choosing to be part of this, for helping us turn belief into structure, and structure into experience Together, they didn’t just help create a residency, they shaped a month of real experience: the conversations, the learning, the breakthroughs, the quiet clarity that stays long after the work is finished This year was possible because you believed in us early, and because you gave us the time, the space, and the care to make something real A special word of gratitude to @nuclearsamurai, who sparked the idea and made the proof of concept, and to @Bastienjpg, who composed everything together in its final form. This patrons’ tribute came to life because of both of them Thank you Truly

day in the life: influencer

Those who sneer at derivative work clearly never opened an art history book. Every movement was born from another. Innovation isn’t isolation, it’s evolution. But sure, let’s pretend artists should pick one style at 20 and never grow again 🫠

these ones hit different 🤤
