So glad you’re loving it, @junevault! Honestly, it was special bringing this piece to life, knowing how much you care about preserving a bit of the Miratashi vibe in the AKGR style. Your eye for detail and passion for authentic art really shine through, especially in a world where everything feels so AI-driven. It made this task super rewarding to work on because you had such a clear vision, and it pushed me to create something unique. Thanks for trusting me with this and for being such a solid part of the journey. ❤️🙏

Gary Gensler wants to kill your NFTs Calling them securities in an attack on crypto artists. Starting today, we fight back. I’m teaming up with @beeple, @UNFKearth and YOU to deliver 100,000 signatures to the SEC, demanding they keep their hands off our JPEGs And Beeple will immortalize it in an Everyday 🖼️ 🫵 STAND 4 ARTISTS HERE: UNFK.com/action 🫵 ## BACKGROUND - AN ASSAULT ON CRYPTO ART ## Since 2016, creatives around the world have made a living selling original art via NFTs. On Aug. 28, 2024, Gensler sent a Wells notice to @opensea saying he views these artworks as securities. x.com/dfinzer/status/1828791… If Gary isn’t stopped, thousands of artists who make a living from NFTs will no longer be able to support their families. That includes artists you and I love and support. It may even include you. Mark my words: If Gary gets what he wants, digital art ends as we know it. And if NFTs are securities, then what's next? Beanie Babies? Baseball cards? The funny thing is, only a short while ago, Gary said most tokens were not securities. Now, he carries the water for corrupt bankers and politicians threatened by crypto's rise. And with this latest action against NFTs, he is doubling down against crypto art. We speak for all when we say: we are fed up. Now, we fight. Here’s the game plan and how YOU can help... THE CAMPAIGN: 1) Sign the "NFTs are not securities" petition, to let them know we’re ready for a fight Do it anon or doxed. We’re gathering 100,000 signatures to demand the SEC stop the investigation into OpenSea, and make it clear NFTs are NOT securities. 2) Put Gary in the hot seat by reporting him to the anonymous SEC Employee hotline We think it's time to report Gary to HR once and for all. You can make a 100% anonymous complaint against Gary on the petition page we've made Write how you feel about Gary (can be funny or serious, but CAN'T use violent or racist language). UNFK will have the funniest complaints read in Gary's voice at his office in DC (yes, you read that right) And in this fight for freedom of arts, we’re deploying the most potent weapon we have: Art itself. The gran maestro @beeple will be monitoring the complaints you write to Gary Gensler. And has offered to put the funniest into an Everyday. That’s right… your words could be immortalized… as we call out Gary for harassing hardworking artists. 3) Share this post and campaign to spread the word Once you’re done, come back here and blast this post to EVERYONE. Actually, do it right now. Repost it. Comment. Text it to your grandma. Let’s take the fight to Gary Gensler and the SEC. Scroll up, sign the petition now, and let’s get to work.
OpenSea has received a Wells notice from the SEC threatening to sue us because they believe NFTs on our platform are securities. We're shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists. But we're ready to stand up and fight. Cryptocurrencies have long been in the crosshairs of the SEC, and companies like @coinbase, @Uniswap, @RobinhoodApp, @krakenfx, and @Consensys have been fighting against the SEC's single-track approach of "regulation by enforcement." But this is a move into uncharted territory. By targeting NFTs, the SEC would stifle innovation on an even broader scale: hundreds of thousands of online artists and creatives are at risk, and many do not have the resources to defend themselves. NFTs are fundamentally creative goods: art, collectibles, video game items, domain names, event tickets, and more. We should not regulate digital art in the same way we regulate collateralized debt obligations. As we've built OpenSea, we've heard so many stories about the impact of NFTs on people’s lives, including: • Student artists finding full-time careers in selling their digital art • Indie game developers instantly enabling open markets for their in-game items, without having to build marketplaces from scratch • Passionate collectors from different corners of the world joining new communities, all centered around shared digital ownership It would be a terrible outcome if creators stopped making digital art because of regulatory saber-rattling. Take, for example, the suit filed against the SEC by the musician @songadaymann and conceptual artist @brianlfrye, which describes their fear that the sale of their art and music could be deemed unregistered securities offerings. In addition to standing our own ground, we're pledging $5M to help cover legal fees for NFT creators and devs that receive a Wells notice. Every creator, big or small, should be able to innovate without fear. I hope the SEC will come to its senses sooner rather than later, and that they'll listen with an open mind. Until then, we'll stand up and fight for our industry. Onwards 🌊⛵️

The best part of building this community is the genuine connections and bonds that form along the way. @AkogareOfficial is quietly laying down the foundation for something bigger, with our early supporters like you leading the charge. It’s exciting to know that when we launch, those who believed in us from the start will be the first to showcase what we’ve built together. @websky_gg - Your support and patience mean everything 🙇‍♂️. It’s been an honor to build alongside you, and I’m so glad you’re loving your new PFP. Let’s keep pushing forward and make this journey unforgettable🫡

Stumbled across my old oil paintings and felt a wave of nostalgia. It reminded me of the charm of traditional mediums, away from the screen. This weekend, I'm planning a day in nature to reconnect with the tangible. Remember to take breaks and prioritize your health. ♥️
