"Paradigm Shift" A digital surreal painting by yours truly from the OG NFT era of 2022 😝

big milestone: of all 344,637 tokens, we've been able to resolve tokenURI metadata for 343,194 tokens. for 1,443 tokens resolving the metadata failed. we'll attempt again in a month but for now we'll take that error rate. why is this important? the tokenURI itself is only the link to the ERC721 metadata. but we need to actually fetch and resolve the underlying metadata to get the IPFS hashes of the actual images / animations. that is now done. and we have 670,147 individual CIDs to pin (metadata and images are separate; some didn't have valid images set). next step i will compile a clean snapshot of all CIDs grouped by collection so others can more easily import subsets into their own IPFS nodes. also i think all this deserves a big shout out/celebration of the permissionless web. IPFS is beautiful tech that when used correctly enables anyone to keep data alive without relying the original publisher. that's special.

So let me get this straight: > Blackdove makes a deal to acquire Foundation, artists and collectors assume their history, works, and provenance will be preserved > Blackdove takes over accounts, tone feels off, disconnected from the community, something doesn’t sit right > nothing really happening besides lots of 404’s > no clear communication > behind the scenes they line up curators and artists for a drop, signaling business as usual > then the deal falls through without much public explanation after having full control already > messaging pivots to “our core business is strong” while the Foundation takeover no longer moves forward > platform gets shut down, no migration plan, no timeline, no clarity > announce their own marketplace coming soon while the situation around Foundation remains unresolved > original Foundation team had already handed over control, now they can’t step back in to stabilize anything > Blackdove says access and keys will be returned for transition > Foundation says they don’t have access, no way to manage or restore the platform > then Blackdove suddenly says the platform could be reactivated on their end anytime for a transition > so why shut it down abruptly in the first place, without any transition window or warning? > from the outside, artists and collectors appear left without clear care, support or direction > @visualizevalue steps in to preserve the history of Foundation regardless of what happens to the platform This is all satire and playing with the feelings of real people building in this space for years.

Me & my work

Adding the first layers of ink. I draw on both sides of a synthetic semi transparent paper. Finished work typically has 8- 12 layers of ink between line work and color glazes🐌. It’s a slow build even in monochrome 💙

Pens out agin tonight, building eyes, teeth and flesh takes time. It’s worth it though

Breaking my rule not to post art on Twitter anymore for this momentous occasion. Hand made art > AI slop, forever.

Some imperfect human made art in the making.

This is our line in the sand. DISCLAIMER: DON'T READ THIS COMIC IF YOU'RE NOT USED TO FLAWED, SKETCHY, AND ROUGH PENCIL ARTWORK THAT'S MADE BY IMPERFECT HUMANS.
