I'm going to look at the comments right now.
It's kind of nice when there's not hundreds.
I could look through 58 comments right now, I could look through 58 comments right now and buy
So, that's what I'm going to do.
I see you, I see you, I see you.
A lot of friends in here.
I see Mike, Ryan, Wick, I-Ry.
I don't know if you'll just have them running out and in.
Talking deadly sin with Mrs. Baby.
I don't understand why she hit them like, like, like.
Oh, my friends, feel as though I'm pointed to that.
Oh, they keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me, but my answer, it won't let
And I want to spread the news that if it feels it's a good getting use, oh, you just keep
All right, the first NFT I collected was from Stroke Driven, and it's called Blaze the Firing
It's like this cute little ram.
I picked the ram because I was like, oh, ram's strong.
It can, like, you know, battle ram into shit.
So, anyways, I want to support you, Stroke Driven.
It's been a while since I've collected from you, but, yeah, I'm glad you're still here.
I'm glad you're still creating art.
And, yeah, you're also a positive, good person in the space.
So, happy that you're here.
So, okay, that's the first one.
I'm going to start buying, like, a couple because, yeah, the quote is high.
Yeah, but when I talk to you, hey, I said, brother, if you only knew, you'd wish that
you were in my shoes, you'd just keep on using me, until you use me up, until you use
me up, until you use me up.
And, yeah, you know, sometimes, it's true, you really do abuse me, that you get me among
your high-class friends, and then you got real rude to me.
It's called Lavender by Bari, B-A-R-I, capital.
And, yeah, it's pretty cool.
Reminds me of the Lakers, kind of.
Anyways, that's the second one.
Probably going to purchase another from him.
I like the minimal abstraction type art.
And it's stuff that you want to, like, hang in my house.
Not you want to hang in my house.
I would want to hang out in my house.
But, yeah, there's the second one.
Bari, thanks for being here, bro.
The next has to be Vasikoska.
I haven't collected in a little bit.
One of them is called The Last Smile.
She's always supported me, and she's amazing.
So I'm going to collect one from her right now.
Let's make sure it confirms, because a couple times I was trying to go too fast, and I went
off the page, didn't confirm, and then later on, people said, look, you said you bought
And I said, oh, well, pardon me.
Let's go ahead and remedy that.
Anyways, your purchase was successful.
So Vasikoska, another sale.
We'll have her up in a little bit.
And Lyra, I see you down there, Lyra.
And I love her work, and she moved from, she was on ETH for a bit, and she did well on
ETH, and then she moved over to Tez.
So, you know, it just kind of widened her collectors, and, you know, I'm sure her creativity
went up a little bit, just kind of, like, figuring things out.
Oh, I should probably pin these people up that I'm collecting from, yeah?
I'll start pinning the people up that I just collected from.
And if you guys could, retweet the space, use the hashtag, and then pin up your art.
I don't know why I'm making that voice.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I just, like, start to take on this random, weird personality when I'm talking to myself.
Finally, say the only words I know that you love.
Say the only words I know that you love.
This ain't something real good to you, so.
Everywhere this little girl goes, she'd pick up and love my obstacle.
I don't know the tribe or the fault.
I thought she was an idiot.
She be sliding bags like a civilian.
I want to make it in the end.
Girl, it ain't something real good to my soul.
Everywhere this little girl goes, she took up another obstacle.
I don't know the tribe or the fault.
Collecting from you right now.
I want to make it in the end.
I want to make it in the end.
I want to make it in the end.
I want to make it in the end.
your purchase was successful. Johnny boy art. Yeah.
It has some cool stuff. Portrait of the legendary John Lee hooker.
And he's playing like, it looks like an acoustic guitar.
It looks like a kind of reminds me of Johnny cash,
even though this gentleman is he's black, not white. So it's nothing.
I mean, it doesn't look like Johnny cash, but yeah,
people of African descent, they play better music in my opinion.
I'm going to buy another one called crawling King snake portrait of legendary
John Lee hooker again. All right, let's get two of these, two of these.
You got soul. All right. All right. All right.
What is this sexual healing? No, that's a little too much right now.
Don't want to get behind here.
Let me pin up some of your stuff right now.
I think she's the first person I collected from.
And she retweeted the space.
Her cosmic journey with her Astro Critters.
She's been doing this for a little bit now.
So definitely support her.
Give her a bunch of likes.
Likes don't cost anything, you know?
She's putting artists in here.
They did with the stained glass and I got a couple of different peace signs out there.
And this is a bright orange.
I got a red one out there and a blue one.
But, yeah, I really like how this one came out.
So, yeah, I hope you guys like it.
How to grab an apple real quick.
I got to finish this wrong route.
Captain Futon, thank you.
Thank you for coming up and hanging out.
We're going to collect from you, too.
I got to bring up the people that I just collected from.
But I wanted to say, what up to you?
I just saw you pop up quick.
I was like, oh, let's bring him up.
I don't ever have a chance to talk to him one on one.
Yeah, dude, I hope that you had a good time on your little
the Las Vegas convention or whatever went on this weekend.
That looked like a lot of fun.
A lot of good music, huh?
I saw Violetta play in person.
And then I think Cristiano as well.
It was a lot funner than I thought, to be honest.
Because, you know, with everything being down so bad, I thought it was going to be
But, no, it was pretty good.
I mean, I had a good time.
I met a lot of cool people.
I met some locals here in Vegas.
So I was like, oh, this was like a productive thing.
And that's really cool to, like, get to know, like, to find, like, a little local.
I mean, like, you didn't even have to get on a plane or go far at all.
And you found, like, a pretty cool little vibe just in your neighborhood.
I'm like, when I'm here in Vegas and there's NFT conventions going through,
like, I almost have to go, like, hang out.
And sometimes you get, like, you know, stoned and antisocial.
I don't get up, like, I'm tired.
I just want to chill at home.
But I definitely forced myself to go out and hang out.
But I think I'm going to go down to Vegas.
I'm hoping by the end of the year there's, like, there's an NBA game that I want to go to.
And then there's also, you know, that fucking NASCAR or something is going to take over.
My nephew really wants me to go during that time.
Might be taking a trip down there.
They have the F1 races in November.
So, and that's, like, it's not NASCAR, but it's, like, even faster, right?
Yeah, that's what I heard.
It's going to be some wild shit.
So, yeah, that might be worth taking the trip down there.
I'm, like, I say hell yeah a lot.
But, Jamie, how's it going?
Well, I have an NFT project that can turn back time.
That's, I want you to purchase it.
It's 1.69 ETH, and it's wrapped in cellophane.
So, you know, so you can protect your time.
Yeah, go ahead and just post it in the comments.
Yeah, I was wondering about that.
But, you know, you can get the unwrapped version for 0.69.
No, I appreciate that you're making special arrangements for me.
It's such a good price point right there.
If you buy one, I'll close the whole collection.
I pretty much have control.
Like, I'm basically buying an entire project.
A one-of-one project with one NFT.
How's Dave been doing today?
He shit on all my neighbor's lawns.
He was shitting on all their lawns and I forgot bags.
So, pretty much I shit on all these neighbor's lawns.
And I'm going to go back later and pick it up.
It's going to, like, dry up and then I'll just, you know, pick up the dust.
I was going to say, that shit will be dust, literally.
You always got a good story to get along with things.
I don't know who's worse.
You or him getting into trouble.
I think it's, like, we precede each other, you know.
Like, we feel each other, I guess.
You know why he does all this stuff?
No, he doesn't like weed.
He was a little pup and now he hates it.
Well, I'm going to get a black and white one soon, so.
What are you going to do?
Like, you just can't up and leave, can you?
Like, if you've got somewhere to go, how do you, who takes care of the dog?
My mom lives here in Vegas.
She lives on the other side of Vegas, so she just comes and stays in my house.
She has a dog, too, so it's just, like, a big dog party.
I miss having family members that are close or even alive, I should say.
So, I don't have much of a family right now.
They just try to call me.
Tell them you're in the middle of buying shit.
Yeah, I was trying to invite up the people I bought from, but they're, like, I don't know if they're unavailable.
Oh, yeah, they come to the space, and they just post, and then just hang out somewhere else.
Bari's in here, and Johnny Boy's in here.
I collected a couple from him.
Hey, where did you send your photography NFT?
I didn't send it anywhere.
You said you were sending me a piece.
When the fuck did I say that?
It was like a week and a half ago, maybe.
I don't know what to say.
I can't take responsibility.
I kept on refreshing my screen, and it never came.
You're making me feel bad now.
You're waiting your whole life for this NFT or something.
No, the thing was, I wanted a little bit of a piece of, instead of fighting you in
the octagon, I wanted a little piece of Keith Berry one way or another, and I thought
it was a nice suggestion that you said you were going to throw me that, and I love you
I would just hold you to your word.
He supported me as an artist.
He showed me so much love and too much attention.
You give me way too much attention.
No, I'm about to boo you.
I love her little brother.
Hey, I was trying to be nice the whole time, and you were being the heel, so I was like,
We got Johnny Boy up here.
But shush your cute doodle mouth, okay, Jamie?
I've seen you sniped one, by the way.
I sniped one this morning.
But Johnny Boy, Art, what up?
I'm from Montreal, Canada.
Do you hear the French-Canadian twang?
I really am a favorite to Canadians.
I really like them a lot.
They're always really nice.
My whole life, I've had good interactions with them, you know?
And they've been like, just like, I feel like I could trust them.
So, except you guys as president.
Yeah, he's too, yeah, he's too, there is something hokey about him.
But, I mean, like anywhere, there's some assholes.
But me, just personally, I've just had a lot of, I don't know, over life.
A lot of good interactions.
I've trained with a lot of, like, Canadian fighters, too, here in Vegas.
Yeah, a lot of them head out there, right?
A lot of them come to Vegas.
And, yeah, it's the fight capital of the world here, so it's easy for them.
But, yeah, man, let's talk a little bit about your art.
Let's post up some stuff.
And, kind of like, you've been in the space for a while.
I've seen you in here for a bit.
So, maybe just get, like, let's check in with you.
We've crossed paths a few times.
I've been following you for a while.
Yeah, no, I've been here for, like, just under two years.
Kind of just trying to carve out my little space in paradise, like everyone else, I guess.
And, yeah, I mean, most of my art, like, it's on a bunch of platforms.
And I'm kind of one of those artists that, like, for the most part, I'm just kind of,
I'm not looking for myself, but I keep changing styles.
The only thing that's consistent throughout is basically that I love irony.
I love, like, the ironies of life.
I like, I mean, I don't like politics, but I like commenting on them.
So, I, like, I find the absurd in everything.
I think a lot of artists do that.
Artists and comedians, I think we have that in common.
Like, we look at life through a slightly warped lens, or at least in an angle that I think other people don't really look at life through.
So, yeah, I use that in a lot of my art.
Like, I use old magazine clippings.
I use news stories to get inspired.
I'm, like, a multi, I'm, like, classically trained.
But, yeah, like, with time constraints and stuff like that, I've been mixing a lot of mediums.
So, there's a lot of AI mixed with photography, mixed with photo montage.
And then I kind of get annoyed by all the, like, I haven't adopted all the crazy, quirky things that AI do yet, like, the mutated, you know, like, weird faces and the fingers.
That stuff's getting better, but I always go in and I paint over that, like, digitally.
So, a lot of my art is, like, I source my images through magazines, the web, and AI, and then I kind of assemble it all.
So, depending on the platform, like, some of my stuff's super political, pisses people off.
And then I got some really light collections, like what you collected today is, like, just kind of inspired off the Zodiac signs and an old novel by H.G. Wells, The Island of Dr. Moreau.
So, I kind of throw that all in together.
Like, I'm an 80s kid, so I'm also inspired a lot by the 80s and the colors and all that bright, crazy shit.
So, that's me in a nutshell, I guess.
I kind of got a little mix.
I got the John Lee hooker and the portraits you had, and then I also had, what was the other one you had?
It was, like, the Scorpio thing, because I'm a Scorpio.
So, I was like, oh, this looks pretty cool.
I'll collect this and then I'll read this later.
Yeah, I really appreciate it.
Are you really into, like, horoscopes and all that astrology?
I actually, I have friends who are really into it, but I like the kind of, for me, it's like mythology.
And, for me, kind of tied in with that, and I didn't want to go classic kind of Greek mythology with these things I was mixing together.
And I thought it was fun to bring a really new twist to horoscopes because I see them all the time and they're kind of always the same.
So, I guess I like the lore behind it, but I'm not, I don't follow astrology, like your moon, like your sign is in Venus and all that stuff.
I don't, I don't really know them particularly.
I kind of brushed up on it to do the collection, but it was more about the imagery and mixing it with that classic novel.
So, you're just looking at it, like, from a purely, like, outward perspective.
I do like the Greek mythology and all that stuff, too, and, like, Hercules and all that.
I like the goddess of war.
And I think people dog on, like, all the superhero stuff, like, they have superhero fatigue, but I think that's just, like, modern mythology.
I mean, like, as much as people in the ancient times, they followed, like, all these, you know, this whole plethora of gods and all these systems that, you know, like, you know, it was, like, less, you know, like, mono-religion.
But I think now, I mean, that's what it is.
People don't pray to, like, superhero films, but I think it's the same appeal.
We love all these complicated, like, interactions between these ultra-powerful beings, and I think that's what people dig about it.
And it's fun to just, I think it's fun to see the rise and the fall of the heroes in these stories and stuff, even though sometimes you kind of know the good guy's going to win.
But they have some that, like, the bad guy wins, you know.
Sometimes the bad guy almost is kind of, like, the good guy in a way.
Like, he's real bad, but then when it comes down to it, he's going to, like, do the right thing at the very end.
They have a couple, like, bad good guys, if that makes any sense.
When I was a kid, like, the good guys were, like, absolutely good, and the bad guys were beyond evil, and it was less gray, but now it's, like, everything's, you start by hating a character, and you kind of latch on to who you think is the protagonist, and, like, halfway through it, especially HBO do this shit all the time, right, where you get attached to a character, and then you find out he's, you find out halfway he's a prick, and then you're, like, shit, and you have to kind of latch on to someone else.
And then you finally realize none of these characters are moral, and they're all just different shades of gray, which is probably closer to real life, actually.
No, you're completely right.
That's kind of crazy to think about, honestly.
I was like, oh, yeah, interesting.
But, yeah, it kind of makes me feel like it's more realistic now that I just thought about it like that.
How long have you been in the space for now?
I think it's, like, in October, it's going to be two years.
So, that's, like, time flies.
And have you taken any breaks?
And, like, what's your overall over those last two years?
Is there any pointers for aspiring artists?
There's a lot of new artists that, you know, ask me a lot of questions a lot.
But you have a lot of experience already, and you're in it.
You're in the trenches, as they say, you know.
Well, I'm in the trenches, but I don't have the luxury of not, like, I'm not earning a living off of it.
This is, like, a side hustle for me that I totally enjoy.
And I probably invest just as many hours in it as, like, my actual nine-to-five job.
But, so, yeah, I mean, like, I can give advice, but, I mean, like, those guys, those OGs are really, like, living off NFTs.
And, like, there are, like, 100%.
Like, I can't really, like, give those guys tips because those guys are completely different.
Like, they're in the stratosphere for me.
And I'm just, like, I feel like I'm there hustling every day and grinding, just like a lot of those guys.
But, you know, it's, like, a different reality for me.
And there's, I guess there's not as much pressure.
But, yeah, I guess it's a cliche now.
But I guess the tip is to just keep doing your thing and just keep throwing it out there.
And the truth of the matter is, I think, eventually, if you do it with ultimate confidence, people gravitate towards you.
And they kind of start vibing with what you're doing.
And even those collectors that I think, like, at first, they were just, like, not off-put by your stuff, but they didn't get it.
I think, eventually, as they see it more and more and they kind of, like, start feeling where you're going with it, they kind of align with that stuff.
So I think my best advice is just to not change for – or to try to figure out who your audience is.
And other people kind of gravitate and they start walking the same path with you.
Just never try to – I just never try to market towards an audience.
I just do my thing and then the audience comes to you.
And I think that's the most important thing about Web3.
I mean, you don't want to be oblivious to what people are saying.
You want to take positive criticism, but, like, to really realign because you think something is more marketable, I think, kind of defeats the purpose in Web3.
So that would be my tip from two years of being here.
No, I completely agree with you, too.
And, yeah, you've got to do you and do what you want to do and your style.
Your audience is going to come to you.
And then when your audience comes to you, you can kind of, like, curate it a little bit.
Like, you know, even focus in even more on your audience and what they like and dislike on people that all kind of already like you.
But you can kind of, you know, you know what I'm trying to say.
I'm trying to curate more, I guess.
Happy to talk to you again.
And I know it's probably been a little while since we've actually spoken and engaged personally.
But you know how the DMs get.
DMs get crazy for everyone.
No, they're hard to manage.
It's almost easier just to catch up on a space.
You just can't talk to everyone at once.
So everyone, you know, there's a lot going on.
But no, no, I appreciate you, man.
And I'm happy I got some of your stuff.
And then hopefully, you know, some other people will collect some of yours as well,
give you some good sales today.
And even if it's not, it's just your hobby.
That's actually better, honestly, sometimes you create because you don't have the pressure
of having to make bills and stuff.
And sometimes artists come on here and they're like, oh, I'm behind on my electric.
And I'm like, man, you shouldn't have got this far.
That's kind of like, I don't know.
It's like, you should create art and have freedom.
I mean, if you're creating, I mean, I think you could create your best art with a gun
But I mean, at the same time, like creating under duress, I mean, it can kind of skew
It's going to bleed out for sure.
It's not sustainable, you know?
But thanks for having me, man.
Thanks for picking up those pieces.
Now it's good talking to you.
We're going to talk to some more people on stage and bring some people up and yeah,
collect some Tezos NFTs here today.
And I was trying to bring up some other people that I collected from, but it was hard to
You were the first person up, I think.
So I appreciate you being available.
I didn't collect from you.
Oh, she's not doing good.
Oh, Fassi Koska collected from, oh, she's co-host.
Oh, she hacked the system.
The co-host doing the most.
That piece that you have as your PFP.
I think I collected that one.
Let's pin it up, actually.
Pin up some of your artwork.
I'm a big fan of your artwork and everything you do.
You did a tweet about it, too.
Like, good evening to you.
Hello, dear speakers and dear listeners.
And thank you very much for buying this piece.
And actually, one piece left on primary.
And the collection has almost sold out.
Oh, someone's going to snipe it.
But there's only one more.
It's really affordable, too.
That thing is going to be gone.
But go ahead, Fassi Koska.
I want to know everything about you.
I want to know everything about you from age zero to now.
So, I met St. Petersburg, finally.
So, you pretty much met a celebrity in my mind.
I know that you are a big fan of her and me, too.
I wanted to hear how you're jealous.
I'm just hanging out here in Vegas.
I'm about to go do some sparring soon.
It's been a little bit since I collected.
I really do like your artwork a lot.
And I like the vibes of it.
It almost makes me think about when I've done Acid a couple times.
But, I really like that feeling.
So, I like to collect your art.
And it kind of gives me some weird nostalgic feelings.
Even though that's nothing to do with why you created it or anything.
And I appreciate that you like this collection.
This bloody collection, too.
Because it was experimental for me.
I am a big fan of dark art.
But I don't draw dark art.
Some Tarantino film swipe.
You are a big supporter of my art.
Kit, if I have such opportunity.
Can I tell listeners about my raffle?
Tell us about what you're doing.
I want to, like, support you a little extra, you know.
Let's hear about the raffle.
And how you can get involved in the raffle.
So, thank you for this opportunity.
I have a limited edition on Manifold.
And I decided to make a raffle about this.
The first is $100 among all the people who collect, who minted one or more.
And the second prize is 1-1 art on foundation.
It will be new art with a juicy butt.
And the third prize is artwork on object.
So, 10 edition minted already and 10 edition left.
So, please give me some support.
Maybe like, retweet to make it more visible.
Because it is a very generous raffle for me.
I'm going to retweet this and DM you back.
See what you got going on.
I'm going to do some dark red hearts.
Because your art is dark red and dope.
Go like her shit right now, Jamie.
Peer pressure you to like her art.
Just, you don't even have to.
If you look at it, you should like it.
What's not to like, though?
Point out something negative.
I'll call you daddy-o then.
Instead of calling you daddy.
Yeah, daddy-o sounds a little like chiller.
That's like, that's like old hip kind of talk.
Something Tony would say.
Listen, the train's coming.
Yeah, it's dropping Tezos.
Are you buying Tezos right now?
I had to crack open the Tez vault.
They're bringing it from Fort Knox, though.
You know, this train whistle is like obnoxious.
I'm 75 feet away from the tracks.
And it's louder in my house than my alarm clock in the morning.
So you imagine this 24-7.
But the run is great, though.
You know, there's always ups and downs about your living situation, you know?
Who do we want to talk to, Jamie?
Maybe she's available to say hi?
So if Vassie Koska wants to say hi to any of her friends that are up here already, so, yeah, let me know.
Hey, how are you guys doing today?
I'm, yeah, I'm learning still.
But I'm going to go and do a talk this Thursday about what I've been learning so far about NFTs.
And I'm presenting two photographs.
And I'm hoping to put this whole New England images together and do a nice NFT show.
I don't know if that's what you call it, but that's what I want to do.
Do you have any lingering questions since you're up here and we can talk voice to voice?
Yeah, I'm a little confused.
I said to the guy that's helping me, I said, maybe I should buy some NFTs first before I produce my own
so that I kind of, you know, can get into the game here.
And he asked me what kind of wallets I had so far.
And that made me, like, stop and think a bit because I didn't really understand.
Are the wallets are different, almost like different stores that you go to to buy different art?
I'm not, I'm a little confused as to why I need so many wallets.
Yeah, well, different wallets have, are usually like MetaMask is for like Binance Smart Chain, for Ethereum, for Polygon.
So most people have MetaMask.
But if you, if you're collecting like on TezArt, I collect on my computer, it's on Temple.
So it has a Temple wallet.
But the wallets, they store your crypto and your NFTs.
But you could also, you know, go on, like, basically use a link in there to go on the internet in that platform.
And then go on OpenSea or go on Rarible, go on different, you know, NFT platforms that you can buy or sell NFTs on.
So you use kind of your wallet a lot.
But usually it's MetaMask.
You probably want to buy, I would suggest you buy like affordable Ethereum NFT for maybe under 60 bucks.
You just buy one and you find a community that you can kind of watch and kind of see how it works.
But just buying an NFT, it's going to be an easy process.
You go click buy and, you know, transaction goes through.
You wait a couple minutes.
You can see your, you could view your OpenSea or you could view your NFT through like OpenSea or through a platform that's connected to your wallet.
But definitely download a MetaMask if you haven't already.
Yeah, you could just go on your app store.
Go on your app store and just type in MetaMask and then just download it.
And from there, you know, you hold your crypto in your MetaMask, which is a wallet.
And you could use platforms in the browser inside the MetaMask.
I will check MetaMask out.
I did get the one that you mentioned.
Temple for your Tezos NFTs.
And MetaMask is like that fox.
What about, um, what is Phantom?
Yeah, Phantom is the Solana wallet.
It's a nice, easy to use wallet.
I'm, and I think Solana is like, Solana was actually, actually, if you really want to learn
and kind of like mess around a little bit and it being really affordable, Solana isn't a
bad choice because you could use the Phantom wallet.
You could view your NFTs in there.
You can kind of trade a little bit.
If you buy one for 10 bucks, maybe you could flip it for 20.
I don't know if you want to even get into flipping or any of that, but Solana is cheaper than
Ethereum, but, you know, sales aren't as, the volume isn't as big, you know, but Ethereum,
I mean, volume's down everywhere, but Ethereum is definitely more than Solana.
So, but, uh, Solana, how do you spell that?
Solana, it's S O L A N A Solana.
I haven't spilled anything in so long.
I'm like, it's like the easiest thing to spell in the world.
Like my, my Australian friend's like, dude, how's your salami doing?
And I'm like, bro, shut up.
But, uh, anyways, you're learning in front of us.
You're, I'm going to send you a video.
It'll talk a little more deeply into the MetaMask and I'll, it'll kind of let you know how to like
utilize the, the browser and the different tools and the MetaMask to, you know, find out
more about NFTs for beginners and stuff.
And, uh, yeah, don't click any links on anything in your DMS.
Always, if someone says something about something, just go research it in a separate tab and
you'll see if it's legit, but never click on anything.
Just like stay away from that.
Unless it's somebody, you know, if it's your brother sending you something, Hey, click on
Like it's a little different, right?
He's not trying to fish you, but definitely be careful because scammers are back.
Cause NFTs could be doing real well in the next couple of months and, uh, people get
bored during the winter and everyone's going to be chilling.
And, you know, there might be like, I don't, I wouldn't say there's going to be a lockdown,
but you know, people might get sick, you know, when the winter comes, people are going to
So, uh, yeah, it could be a good time.
Hey Keith, the other great thing, Rick, for anybody that's new, you know, whenever you come
into spaces, um, definitely follow, uh, people that you'd like to hear from and also keep
maybe a tablet and a pen or pencil next to, you know, next to you when you're in space,
because it's like, even with the learning curve, you have to write this stuff down because if
you don't write it down, you're going to forget, like you can write down MetaMask and then
you can write down the different cryptocurrencies that are in MetaMask.
Then you can do the same thing with, you know, like your phantom wallet or, you know,
just, you know, it's easier to reference materials that are in front of you.
And, you know, you, you've learned a lot already and I'm impressed because I was in the space
when you first arrived and, you know, I do see your growth and, you know, I wish you luck
as an artist. I'm glad that, you know, I'd like to learn about your art, you know, tell
me about your history and tell me, I want to invest in people first, artwork second, but
I always want to, as an investor and a lover of art, I'd love to know more about the artist
and that's what leads me to buy, you know, if I can trust you as a person that you're,
you know, putting in the hard work and, you know, doing this for the, for the good instead
of just, you know, everybody's out there to make a buck, but, you know, you want to make
friends in the space and that's what it's really about. It's about connecting, you know,
with other people in here and, you know, you can support other artists, not just by buying
their work, but following them, retweet, you know, follow, retweet and give likes, you know,
and that's a huge thing because it keeps on, you know, popping up the algorithm and you're
going to start seeing some of your friends that are trending and a lot more people get
to see their work and thanks to you guys for doing that for me because, you know, I
appreciate it because I would have never sold 50 pieces in 50 days. So thanks to Keith, thanks
to Phoenix, thanks to Tony and thanks to everybody, you know, like you guys for helping me out and
achieving that goal and, you know, I love you guys for it and I'm so honored to be a co-host
too, by the way. This is, this is definitely, you know, it's back to being co-host and host
and it's fun. I thank, I thank you, Keith.
I know you, I trust you, you're a good guy, you're not going to say anything crazy. Sometimes
you do and it's kind of funny. I know, but it's not like, you know, it's not bad. It's
not that bad. It's all good.
All right, back to Vassie Koska. How are you doing?
I'm drawing a juicy butt.
Oh, well, we're flapping our gabs. She's creating art.
Yes, right now. And listening in your space, what can I say? It's very interesting to hear
about what J.C.Z. said about it's very important to know artists as a person, firstly. I think
the same, it works a lot. Because it's really important to make your personal brand here and
You're fine. You're fine. But Vassie Koska, I do want you to, you have to recommend who we're
talking to next. One of your friends or your pick, your co-hosts here, we gotta, you know,
Okay. What person can I recommend, uh, here? Uh, she's in the listeners and, uh, she's Anna
Shee. Um, I love her as an artist. She is very professional artist and, uh, her personality
is very interesting because, uh, she make not only art, she make, um, um, she draw what
she thinks about, she, she know English better than, than me. So I, I think she can tell about
her art. I think maybe she's ragging. Um, yeah. We had collaboration, uh, with her and, uh, the
collaboration had, uh, fast sold out. And, um, she also liked to draw anatomy, but not only.
She has collections about some problems involved. So, it's very interesting to put attention at
Yeah, maybe she got rugged for a second. I'll try to have her back up. She was up here
for a second. Let me see if we could bring her back up.
Okay. I don't see her in the room. Okay. Well, let's say, let's say hi to Moses because
he's the first one I see him. Hi. Okay. Hi, Kukid. Hi. Um, hi, everyone. DXZ, Vascoz. I see
so many wonderful, wonderful people here. Um, it's really cool to be here and just listen
to everyone, share your wonderful, amazing arts. And, um, thank you so much for giving
me the opportunity to speak here. Hi, Kukid, you're raising your hand in your own room.
All right. So, um, yeah, uh, I'm an artist, a professional artist, by the way. And, uh, I
create with oil paints on canvases. So my works are, you know, physical, physically made
and then I take pictures of them, which I have as NFTs. I'm just going to share one,
which is on, uh, Texas. So guys check out, uh, light in time. It was made with oil paints
on canvas and, uh, is available as an, uh, as an, an NFT on, uh, Texas object. And, uh,
you'll see a lot of my other works, which are on foundation and I have videos on my media
of you see me painting. Uh, it's really exciting. If you follow me, you'll see more of my works.
You know, I keep posting, I keep sharing and I love arts generally. So I, um, I am, I think
it's, I don't want to call it an obsession, but art is my addiction. It's something I love
to do. I'm a very expressive person. So I, you know, put all my emotion, my thoughts into
my work. I try to express myself to the best I can and say those things I can say with words,
with my art. So, uh, my works are very expressive, uh, as much as I can, you know, express myself
with my work set. So guys, thank you so much. Cause I know that you're, you're looking at
my works right now. You're seeing, you know, the things I created and checking it out. So
thank you so much for checking it out. And, uh, yeah, thank you. Thank you, man, for giving
me the opportunity to speak here and talk about my work and, you know, listen to other
artists too. Uh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much, bro.
Yeah. It only has six likes and there's like over a hundred people in here. So we definitely
got to give them some love guys, give them some likes, check them out. And, uh, it's an
original painting. It's made with oil paintings on canvas now available on objects. So he's
shilling his Tezos. Let's support him. Let's give him some likes. If you don't have any Tezos
to spare, but, uh, definitely want to support you, bro. Thanks for coming up and hanging out
with us. I like your PFP too. It's really cool. It's different. Yeah. Thank you. I
did that. It's time conscious. So that's the title of the piece. Uh, the one I have
as my PFP is time conscious. It's just, you know, as I said, I try to express my thoughts
with my work and, uh, you know, how I feel about time and how, uh, the message I want to
say about, you know, time, how you should use time because time is life and it's part of
the, this piece as my PFP is also the same series with the one I shared that is an object.
So it's still on the time series. Uh, the, the, the one I shared is time lights and time.
So yeah, it's mostly, I, I have a lot of words in a different series, but this ones are about
time. So, you know, time is very important. Yeah. Time is life. So yeah. Yeah. Thank you.
No, I agree. I agree. A hundred percent time is life. You gotta be careful where you spend
your time. So, but I do want to rewind back. Yeah. My blinkers on. I wanted to rewind back
to Ann and she and say hi. She got rugged earlier. So I wanted to see if she could say hi and talk
and, uh, Jamie, yeah, I'm fucking driving on my blinker on going left, bro. I'm calling,
I'm calling your insurance company because I'm sure that vehicle you're driving is not cheap
to insure. I'm calling Geico. The doc's going to show up. He's going to show up on your passenger's
side. What's insurance? Oh, that's right. You're self-insured. I forgot. Some of us have
to get insurance. No, no, I'm just joking. Um, like getting me off topic. And she, are you
there? Save me, Anna She? I'm going to give her a heart emoji. Hello, hello. Oh, hi. How
are you? Hello, hello. I'm very, very good. And, uh, how are you today? I guess it's, uh,
it's the middle of the day for you. Yeah, I'm doing great. I'm with my friend Richie and, uh,
he's, uh, he's going to be in the UFC soon. We're training, we're training him for the UFC.
Uh, we're going to, to spar right now at Extreme Couture. So we're doing great. I feel like I have
a good amount of energy. Had a coffee this morning. I had some cannabis, some devil's lettuce,
some pot, some Mary Jane, whatever you want to say. Had some of that. So I'm, I'm doing great.
Thanks for asking. I think, uh, after all the stuff, uh, you will feel super great tonight.
Ready for, for the night. Um, so, um, if you bring me up, can I tell about my art a little bit?
If you don't mind. Yes, you were, you came highly recommended by Vassie Koska, my co-host up here.
She said you were absolutely wonderful and amazing. And we're going to be blown away by your art and
your charisma. She said you spoke really good English too, and better than her. So, I mean,
a lot has been spoken about you. So we're just, I think we're all kind of waiting on the edge of our
seats to hear more and see your art. You're, you're welcome to pin it to the top.
Oh, you are so generous, dear Marie. I don't know what, what, uh, is, uh, more appropriate
for this case. I love dear. And, uh, thank you dear Kate and, uh, thank you JSC. Um, so let me share
one of my arts. Um, actually I'm a digital artist. I'm from Belarus, but now I'm living in Georgia
and, uh, this art, uh, calls I already, and it's about control. And, uh, you know, sometimes we feel
like, uh, all the world is under our control and we can do everything, but in reality, our life is
like a big bubble. It can be birthed in just one moment by a needle of somebody else. And this art is
about this. So are you ready to be without any control? And are you ready to behave yourself in, uh, just, uh,
chaos around you? So that's all about, uh, this art and, um, can I share something else if it's not
very, I don't know? No, no, no. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. Share whatever you want to show us. I gotta go up
there and GM you back right now.
One moment. I will, uh, pin my, uh, one of my recent arts and, uh, uh, I have a little story behind that.
Mmm. This art calls, uh, Tic Tac Toy. It's, uh, you know, uh, the game for, for small
children, usually, uh, small kids, uh, and, uh, in, in my version of this, uh, game, uh, there are two
characters, um, and, and the dragonfly. And, uh, in my childhood, I, uh, uh, had not only fairy tales, but
also I had, uh, uh, fables, you know, this kind of stories when you have a moral in the end. And one of
them was called, uh, the end and the dragonfly. And the plot describes, uh, how during the summer,
uh, the aunt worked so hard while dragonfly just had fun and did nothing. Um, uh, but, uh, in autumn,
uh, when the food finished, uh, the dragonfly came to the end and, uh, say, could you help me please?
And give me some food. But the aunt denied her and say, oh my God, just enjoy the summer. Just, uh,
go and keep on dancing. And the moral of the story was that, uh, your safety, our safety depends on
our hard work and regular activity and, you know, kind of, uh, limited entertainments. Uh, and, uh,
the son teach us to delay all happenings around us and, uh, just, um, work, work, work. And,
you know, it was a very popular idea for the post-Soviet people who are my parents and they
teach me all this stuff. Like I have to work and one week of vacation in here and then work,
work, work. And it, uh, you know, I, I trust them. I trust in this fable. Uh, but a couple
of months ago in May 36th. Yes. So they understand, oh my God, uh, I can be the dragonfly. I don't
want to be this, uh, fucking aunt. I want to have some fun. I want to be artist. I want
to wake up at, uh, I don't know, 2 PM and just draw and do something very cool for me and nice
and I can enjoy my life. And, uh, you know, the, uh, the sense of this art for me is, uh,
that every person, uh, has to choose, uh, his or her own, uh, way to behave, uh, his or her
own, uh, um, strategy. And for somebody, uh, the aunt's strategy is good. It's okay. It's
very useful and, uh, comfortable, but for some of them, uh, something different is good.
And, uh, you know, everybody should, uh, listen to his or her own heart and, uh, just, uh,
laugh, uh, what is inside and, uh, be yourself, listen to yourself. So, uh, that's all. Thank
you, Kate, for your attention. And thank you, everybody, guys, uh, uh, who are in speakers or
in listeners. Thank you very much. Hey, Anna. Anna, tell us, tell us a little bit about
your journey that started out your, uh, artwork. I want to know more about you. I've been following
you for a bit. I just want to know a little bit more about you. Um, uh, well, um, I'm drawing
maybe four or five years and three of them, uh, uh, drawing digital using Procreate. And,
uh, here in Unity Space, I'm from March, I think. Uh, and, um, in general, uh, I have a collection
on foundation and object, but recently I switched to the object and I have two main, uh, direction
on my object collections. Uh, uh, uh, this, um, one of them is, uh, calls on walls. And,
uh, uh, I, uh, um, pin examples of this, uh, collection, which are like, uh, small concepts
which comes to my head. I want to share with some people. And, uh, another part, uh, of this
collection, uh, of the, of my object collection, sorry, uh, it's portraits and I had some
awesome collaborations, uh, with artists because I think it's very important to make portraits
of artists because sometimes we see their, uh, the arts, but we even don't know their faces. And
it's very interesting sometimes to learn them and see their inner light, you know, I like it. I love.
And, uh, uh, uh, we had with Marie Vesikowska, uh, wonderful, super wonderful collaborative
collection. Maybe, um, you can check it. Uh, it's, uh, in, uh, colors of, uh, in, uh, in beloved colors
of Marie, uh, red and blue, but in, uh, the arts are in my style kind of, they're made with
heart strokes and, uh, with, uh, minimum details, but, uh, I, I try to make them very expressive.
So that's all about me. I don't know if I, uh, answer your question or maybe I answer something else.
No, I love it. I love, I love that how she bears her soul through artwork, you know, like guys,
it's a big step for some people to bear their soul when it comes to, you know, creating and doing
like the self portraits, I think are big. And I just love the style of yourself.
Love. It sort of reminds me of, uh, I wish Phoenix could explain it to me because she's so great with
art history, just the style. It's like an Italian painting style of your, uh, self portraits.
It's not, I love it. I love your style.
Thank you. Thank you very much. And yes, it was very, very challenging to make myself portrait
because, uh, you know, uh, you always see the beauty in, uh, other people, but, uh, it's
very hard to, uh, make your portrait by yourself because you say, oh my God, I don't like this
leg. I don't like this, uh, or wrinkle. So I don't like this hair, but I, I did it.
Yeah. And the other thing is it's, it's, it is bearing your soul. So, I mean, what is hidden
leads the eye to more. And that's the other thing. And the way your legs make an X, I think is,
it's pretty wild. Just, you know, just, it's, it almost says that you're unavailable and it speaks
to me. So I thank you. I, and I look forward to seeing some more of your work.
Oh, thank you. Thank you for your words. Um, I will try to do my best to draw more and more.
Um, I love to be here in an empty space.
And guys, and a very important thing is getting outside of your box, you know, in order to create
something amazing, you don't do something that's comfortable. And, you know, I can attest to that
as a photographer, you know, learning new things, um, even, you know, try doing something left-handed
if you're a right-hander, you know, just try something different. And the more you do things
different and outside of the box, the more comfortable you get. And your artwork will
definitely show the progression. And that's what I look forward to, you know, getting to know new
artists. I like to see them grow. And I do follow a lot of artists and, you know, and I do follow your
stories and I do take notes. That's one of the few things people do is take notes about other
artists. You know, I'm a collector first and I do put pieces of artwork up on my walls and,
you know, certain pieces just speak to me and, you know, just keep on telling your story. And
that's what I love. And for each and every one of you, you know, we'll be there for you if
you are there for us. So we love you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you so much for your words. It's very kind. And thank you for your attention
and for the possibility for me to be here. Thank you.
Who do we want next? That's the big question. Who is next up? Next up? Who's next? Who wants
it more than anybody else? Just speak up. If you want it, speak up and you'll get it.
Hey, everybody. Here we go. Hey, hey, everybody. Hey, kid. Hey, Jimmy. Am I right? Your name
is Jimmy? Yes, sir. Oh, that's great. And I love that you mentioned you would be no artist
personality. And I will mention that this is really challenging for artists to share their
personality because sometimes it's too hard to choose what the topic you want to share with
people. It's the first time. It's the first time you see them. And maybe I can't talk about
my art. Maybe I can't talk about aliens and their music. Yeah. And I think artists can have
the power to share something that is close to their soul. And I will first start with singing.
And this is kind of changing your vibe and bring good change and good vibe in this space and get a
flow state of this great space with you guys. And yeah, it's if you are ready and I'm ready to sing it.
Are you ready? Yeah. Let's see some art, guys. Oh, that's great. So let's go.
I had a dream. Then when I woke up, you will find leader. And I believe that all the hours turn to
minutes. It's not fair. When I turn to look at where you should have been, I started drifting.
Try to stir to your eyes and realize that there was something missing. And if I stay, I couldn't help
but lie away. Cause it's not you. It's just a dream. It's only fair. Just gotta leave. I gotta leave.
Turn the key. Turn the key. I try, try to drive away into the night. Try to keep. I try to keep between the lines and out of sight.
And when I look up beside me where you should have been, I start drifting. I try to stir in your eyes and realize that there was something missing.
And if I stay, I can't help but lie away. Cause it's not you. It's just a dream. It's only fair. Just gotta leave. I gotta leave.
Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for listening, man. That was amazing to share with you.
Thank you, brother. Thanks for entertaining us. Love it, man.
Thank you so much. And I will be here and share with you also if I have time.
Yeah. You know, uh, how long have you been, uh, actually singing? Like when did, uh, were you, were you a child prodigy and just, you know, started at age two or three and just started going through or you, uh, you know, trained, uh, throughout high school or college, you know, tell us a little bit about your education.
Um, my education, our singing, uh, my education is, uh, not important to sing here because, uh, I just, uh, learned, uh, paint.
Sorry. I think I rocked. Did I rock or did he rock?
But I hear you just see the...
Oh, yeah. I seen him disconnect there. I know.
And of course, everybody's internet has been going up and down, so it's always lovely.
We'll get him back up here then.
Oh, I got a heart from Human Z. I love Human Z.
Dude, you gotta come up here.
Yeah, I wanna, I wanna hear something from, uh, Super Z or Super, yeah, Super Y.
Hi. I'm Super Z, so you're Super Y.
What do you got for us today?
Hi. Hi. Yes, um, I actually pinned his tweet up here, Eddie's tweet, um, cause I know he lives in Iran and, uh, well, our internet has not been fun.
Um, I have lost completely, um, the Wi-Fi today. Completely. I'm not incapable of using the Wi-Fi, so I'm using data and, um, it's, like, you know, connecting and disconnecting every, every second.
Um, so, I just wanted to let you guys know about that and his situation, so if you guys can share some love to speak into it, I guess that's, that's the way to just let him know that we're here for him and we have his back and it's gonna be fine, you know, rainbows and everything.
But, um, cause, cause we'll live in Iran, we know that it's not gonna be fine and, actually, the internet is gonna get worse.
But, uh, please, just support any Persian artists that you get to see and, um, listen to them, you know, I just, that's, I guess, everything, uh, we appreciate all the love and all the support and, uh, it makes us, like, you know, keep coming back and do the best that we can do.
Yeah, thank you. I mean, it's pretty amazing how each one of you are, uh, lifting each other up.
And, uh, and that's what it's about, you know, as artists, life isn't easy, especially if you're a full-time artist, I would not want to be in your shoes because, you know, you have to sell every day and it's a lot of pressure.
When you do something part-time, you can, uh, you know, it's, that's where you dedicate time and, you know, and I think that's where the love and passion comes.
When you do it as a full-time business, you just, it's work and, you know, I love seeing that you guys are creating and, you know, even getting out of your box, like I said, and I can, I can just see certain people in the crowd here that I've followed for the longest time.
And just see them bloom into beautiful flowers.
So, each one of you are a flower.
I don't care if you're a guy or a girl, you know, you're flowers, you're blooming.
This is your season as artists.
And, you know, we believe in you, so you should believe in you.
And keep on creating, keep on loving, keep on sharing, keep on following each other, you know, talk about each other's work.
You know, that's another great thing to do.
Have us go in a space and just talk about, you know, somebody that you admire, what you admire about their work and what it means to you.
You know, I love to hear, you know, people have told me about my photography, how it speaks to them.
It tells a story, you know, I think that's a really important thing to learn about when you're creating.
You're telling your story, and you're telling it through brush strokes.
You're, you know, telling it through, you know, a song.
You're telling it through, you know, whatever medium that you're putting out there.
You know, you are the product first.
You know, you're selling you first.
And that's what, you know, we need to do is sell ourselves first.
And, you know, the artwork is always second in my eyes, especially as a collector.
I will buy, you know, different types of work.
And, you know, I've seen amazing work out there from complete assholes.
And I will, I refuse to buy the work.
And I know I could flip it and make money on it, but I won't because, you know, I don't like them as, you know, certain people.
There's what we call art snobs.
You know, there's photography snobs.
I fell into that crowd at one time.
And I was like, I didn't feel, you know, I was part of it.
But I'm glad to be part of this community because, you know, each of you respect, you know, each other's work and talk, you know, lift each other up.
Super Z, thank you for sharing your story with us.
I actually wanted to know if that's possible for me to share mine with you.
Is, yeah, because I guess it's a fun, interesting story.
So, if it's okay, I would love to do that and share my art as well.
Some people in the space might not know me as well, but I see so many familiar friends here as well.
So, I'm super white and I'm from Euron.
I have been painting since I was five.
And basically, every week, every month, every year, I go through this phase of questioning everything about myself because that's kind of what art does.
It makes you question some stuff about yourself.
It makes you face things about yourself.
You know, every single flaw that you have, every imperfection and how you try to hide it and how you try to skip it.
But, you know, it's not definitely easy.
And today, actually, I had to face that I am basically nothing without my art.
And without being an artist, I do not have any other character.
And I absolutely love that about myself, you know?
It's just like, I identify myself as an artist.
And without it, without art, I'm like basically nothing.
And I'd rather die than not being able to create art.
And it's a really, really beautiful process.
And I went through this phase of just having to let art go and go find a job and work.
I have nothing against people or working and they're doing their art.
But for me, personally, I felt like it's just taking my soul away.
And I was not getting paid enough as well.
I was getting like paid for like a hundred bucks a month, which was nothing.
Even in my own money, it was definitely nothing.
I was like, I'm doing all this work.
I'm going to work from like eight to five and I'm still making no money.
And I just like, it was like a moment for me that I was like, I don't want to do this
because I didn't have the time to create my art as well.
So I was like, you know what?
I guess this is time for me to quit.
This is time for me to let work go and just focus on my art fully.
Because if I'm not going to be able to make money,
I'd rather do that while I'm creating art.
I'd rather do that while I'm happy and I have my soul and I'm creative.
And I'm just doing what I was meant to do for life.
So being an artist and being able to make money out of your art is definitely not easy.
But when you do it with love and when you do it with passion,
it's something else and it's going to help you grow.
So I'm here every day and I'm trying to make a sell.
And I don't end up making a sell a day or a few days or a few weeks.
And I'm okay with that because some other days I get to be blessed.
Like today with self-words and everything.
And I guess that's the beauty about art.
Sometimes you're low, but sometimes you're high.
And I know that, you know,
Kit is high as well, but not that kind of high.
But it's just, it's going to be all right.
So for everyone, if you're struggling, it's going to be all right.
We all go through it as artists, but just keep creating.
Don't let anyone or anything ever stop you from creating.
And thank you for listening to me ramble about my art, my story,
Okay, I like how super, super...
Repeat, please, your name.
You can just call me super, it's okay.
I like how you told that we need to create with love
to stay here for a long time.
And for me, I see this is the main that makes me to create and be still here.
Because my main goal is art, you know, to create.
And it was hard to me to realize that I am a creator.
Because I was a sportsman, went in professional sport,
but all my life I created.
And I'm happy that people here move with love.
It touched my heart, your words.
And, you know, I can tell that when I look at your work,
I can tell that you create with love.
And I can say that everyone else sees that as well.
Now, the other thing about art, it's therapy.
I think, you know, creating frees your mind of the daily troubles.
It frees you from the chains that hold you back in life.
And I love seeing each one of you break through these chains.
And, you know, it's really tough as an artist to talk about your work.
A lot of times, great artists aren't the best people to market their own work.
So when you guys come up and you actually talk about your work,
even though there's sometimes a language barrier or, you know, a disability or whatever,
anything that you would think that holds you back is not holding you back.
The only thing that holds you back from success is you.
And I want you guys to really think about that.
You know, are you holding yourself back today by not opening up and blooming as a flower?
You know, are you doing the best artwork that you can?
Is your artwork healing you from past wounds, you know?
I think all of us have been through a tough breakup or, you know, family situations that haven't been good
or tragedy has struck you.
And you can express a lot through artwork.
And just for me, the therapeutic value of art has helped me through this life.
And it's made it so much better.
And, you know, let's create, baby.
I just wanted to stay on board with you 100%.
I was going to say, does anybody know how long Keith trains work?
Maybe he already forgot about his hair and space.
We're going to change the name of this.
We'll change up the name and everything.
It'll be like he was never even here.
Who would you like to hear from next?
I would like to hear Dress and Draw.
She's a long time waiting.
And I want to hear her positive voice.
Give me a second, please.
Okay, I'm here, I'm here.
Just my daughter is sleeping, so I'm running in another room and try to be as quiet as I can.
And Vasikovsky, you discuss such an important topic right now, and I became serious, and now you ask me to be positive.
I want to talk about my depressive heart.
You're expressing yourself.
That's what we want you to do.
It's not always positive.
It can be, you know, do it, woman.
I was listening to you all, and it's related to me so much because I was working in office for 14 years.
And I decided to quit because I wanted to be an artist because I was so inspired to be here in the NFT space.
So now I have literally nothing on my bank account, but I feel much better because I can create something.
I can talk with people who are artists, too.
It's more valuable than working in office, and you live only once, and life is short.
So let's keep going and be artists, everyone who wants.
As you say, dear, show us your art.
I already pinned it, if you can see.
Not now, maybe, in one minute.
I usually introduce myself as a fashion photographer or fashion illustrator, but this art is something different.
I created it when I created it when I was very sad.
And fake smile, it's what we're doing every day.
Every day people ask me, how are you?
And I say, I'm fine, thanks for asking, but look at this art.
She, this girl, is definitely not fine.
She's not okay, but she keep being positive and say, I'm fine.
Because if even you wanted to say how you really are, how difficult your life, how you're tired, and something else, people don't want to listen.
Because they want to just smoke talk.
Here's a little expression.
It's called the art of profanity.
And sometimes you've got to just yell, fuck.
Sometimes you've got to yell, shit.
Sometimes you've got to yell, you know, to get it out of your system.
And you know what you do?
That anger, that sadness that you guys have, just roll up in a ball and throw it out.
And, you know, create more art.
And that's what you're doing.
You're, everybody's beating back depression.
Everybody's, you know, all great artists have a dark passenger, I call it.
I call it, it's your dark story.
He has his dark passenger too.
It's, you know, it's the story of your past.
It's the story of your failures.
It's the story of something that you're hiding.
It's the story that, you know, when you start to love someone, they start peeling back those layers and, you know, revealing who the true person is.
And you can do this with artwork.
You can, you can tell a slow story and let it expand the whole way through different collections.
And I think darkness doesn't have to be a negative thing.
I think, I think learning from failures, I think learning from tragedy, I think learning from your mistakes leads you to a better person.
You know, they always say there's a, there's a silver lining and something that's tragic.
And I think it gives us hope.
And, you know, by you guys creating your art gives us hope as a community, as artists.
I mean, throughout history, artists have been stoned.
They have been killed because of expression.
They have been, you know, we've been put on the back burner for way too long.
And I think now is our time that we shine, no matter which country you live in, which state you live in, you know, wherever you live, your art is your freedom.
It's your voice when you don't have one.
And, you know, that's what I love.
Dress is definitely showing us her voice.
And this is the way it's done, you know.
Show us your anger, you know.
Create some angry pieces of artwork, you know.
So, let me say, the art is a therapy sometimes when you're creating and sharing your feelings.
And then other people say that they feel the same, healing you again, second time.
It's important sometimes.
Yes, I always say that you don't have bad or good emotions.
And let them live not to make yourself burn out.
So, I think if Kit would be here, he would like to hear somebody else.
Who is for a long time in speakers here?
Jamie, Vyarika, Rima, Dress and Roe, Vasikovska, Anna.
Happy to be here on this panel and talking with you.
As I said, I'm a photographer.
And I'm more than one and a half year in the NFT community.
And during this beautiful journey for me, I started doing not only photography, also arts.
And for now, I am creating a collaboration between photography and arts.
I just added some sketches above my photos.
And today, I just dropped a new one.
It's called, like, Thoughts from the Abyss.
You know, it's a cave near the sea here in Cyprus.
And I was thinking about, when I saw them, that maybe there are some creatures.
You know, these very strange creatures that are hiding in this darkness.
But it also reminds me about our thoughts that are inside our head.
And they are also, like, you know, in this darkness.
And there can be these octopus and other creatures that can eat your brain.
And you just need to hear them.
And this is, like, the first art with such meaning for me.
About, you know, a little bit dark.
And I hope you will get it and understand the meaning that I put in it.
Thank you for listening to me.
I'm curious to listen about your, you know, opinion about my dark art.
You are, like, this dark art guru.
Space захвачен, я чувствую.
Okay, about this, your art.
I just checked out your collection.
And I wonder how this idea came to your mind to use photos and to draw on it.
Because, you know, I saw, um, uh, I saw how a lot of people do this, like, um, wait, I забыла.
Okay, uh, how people try to do this.
But your, uh, art, uh, your photo with, uh, art sketches or some things you draw look so, um,
so common, so common, so perfect.
And this piece with dark, um, who, who it is?
Uh, it's, like, you know, krakens, octopuses, and different creatures, crazy creatures from the sea.
And, uh, you make these photos yourself?
Yes, I'm a photographer, and first of all, I take my camera when I go from the home, because a photo, for me, is my, my therapy from depression.
Yeah, I take photos everywhere when I can, but I prefer doing them on my camera, not on iPhone.
And that's why I do photos, and then just draw above it in Photoshop.
And the idea comes to me when, you know, I was thinking about magic.
Um, I told to my daughter about these Harry Potter books, and I'm telling her this magical story.
And I remember that, uh, when I was a young girl, I loved magic, I loved mystery, and, uh, for me, it's, like, a little bit of magic to, to add, add, uh, to reality.
Thank you, Sikoska for it.
Um, how long time are you in NFT, and do you have collections on ETH?
Yeah, I'm more than one and a half year, and I've got, uh, collections on OpenSea, on Foundation, on Knoll Region, got some sold-outs, and most of all, I started as one-on-one artist on ETH.
But, um, like, in June, I think, July, I started creating these thesis arts, and sketches, and drop editions, like, 10 of 10 for 10 tethers.
Okay, I got it, uh, if you want, you can go to our Russian, uh, to, um, spaces, where we talk about how to go back to ETH, and we will have it in, tomorrow, tomorrow.
Oh, okay, yeah, I will try to find these, uh, spaces in Twitter, because, no, I, I didn't saw this, uh, announcement.
Anna, what do you want to see?
Uh, thank you, thank you for, for the possibility to, um, tell some words about Phoenix Jones' artwork, uh, because, uh, uh, it's the first time I see this, uh, new artwork, uh, and, uh, earlier I, uh, I saw, um, her art, art, uh, photography, plus, uh, uh, drawing, and I was, uh, amazed, because it, it was so,
witty, and, uh, uh, you know, harmonious, all together, and, uh, today, first time, uh, see this artwork with octopuses, and, you know, I'm just falling in love with it, it's beautiful, absolutely beautiful, how you could, uh, include them in the reality of this, uh, sea, uh, landscape, uh, it's just amazing, and, you know, I remind the, uh, Japanese stories, because, you know,
they have a lot of myths about, um, octopuses, and their relationships, uh, with, um, people, and, uh, you know, it makes me, uh, you know, a little bit excited, because, uh, uh, um, it's kind of a little bit scary,
and mysterious, and, uh, but, uh, at the same time, it's very interesting to learn the story, and maybe, uh, to, uh, create the story in my mind, so,
it's just, uh, like, a feed for my brain, and, uh, it's, uh, just beautiful, awesome artwork, thank you very much, uh, that you've demonstrated now,
because I didn't see it before, thank you.
Thank you, Anna, your words are very important for me,
and, uh, that you feel it, uh,
Welcome back, thank you, thank you for calling.
This is why I don't do photography full-time.
One less thing to worry about.
I don't have to worry about my bells not getting paid, because I didn't sell any of my artwork.
But God love you for guys that do this full-time.
It's not easy, and I know that.
So, that's why I love collecting from the full-timers.
Yeah, especially wedding photographers, they had these horrible days.
What is next, and where are we going?
Call him, Daddy, maybe he will hear you.
Maybe we should all whisper sweet nothings to him.
And I'll be like, oh my God, somebody's thinking about me.
Have we heard from Ginger yet?
No, brother, I was not talking before, and I'm happy to be here.
Oh, good, brother, just chilling out and prepare for switching the town.
After three days, I'm going to the other town and gonna switch it and gonna live there.
So, just preparing, you know, and I'm chilling here with our other artists, awesome, and awesome people here.
Just listening and, you know, get the vibe.
Oh, wow, so you're having like your own little party there.
It's like a listening party.
And, yeah, for you guys that don't know me, I'm Lil Ginger.
I'm 23 or so artist from Bulgaria.
And can I show some of my last works?
I'm just kidding, Ginger.
You got to throw out what you're expected sometimes in order to give a little bit of shock.
It's really cool to be here.
Like, this is my last pieces.
One of these pieces is actually sold out with the hand, with all the social media in here, in the hand.
But the other pieces is still up.
And it's like five tests.
One of them is called Overting.
The other piece is called Black Mirror.
And the last piece is called Pain.
And this is the heart with the seven arrows in it.
And, yeah, it's a really nice piece for me.
I think they're left, like, three piece for five tests, something like that.
And, yeah, I got a lot of pieces in my object.
So, if you guys are interested, you can go and take a look.
I will be really happy and I will appreciate everyone.
Ginger, we're going to do a call to action.
Tell them they need to buy this before they get sold out.
These are going like hotcakes.
You have to get this piece of art before they sell out really quick, guys.
And you have to buy these.
Yeah, actually, a lot of my pieces is sold out in my object profile.
And I don't lift that much.
And when I mint piece, I mint it for, like, five editions, not more.
And, yeah, it's with an affordable price for a good edition.
So, I think in the future, I will be getting better.
And maybe after the bear market, I can up a little bit my floor.
So, yeah, guys, I will appreciate everyone that support.
I'm going to look at your stuff here again because I want to know what the magic sauce is.
How are you selling all of these?
I see $5, $5, $5, $5, $5, Taz.
If you're selling out pretty quickly, maybe you increase it to maybe 7.5, Taz.
I mean, if we're selling out of this artwork pretty quickly, I think that may say that, you know, you might want to increase just a little bit.
But try it out with another piece, you know, try to create another series of five and see how 7.5 Taz works out for you.
I'm a true believer in pricing your artwork to – I think you should show value in your artwork.
But sometimes when we misprice things or, you know, when you believe in yourself, sometimes you will overprice your stuff.
I did that when I first got in NFTs.
In NFTs, I tried to charge between 1 and 4 Taz for my photography, and I think they laughed me out of the building.
And, you know, there will be a day where I will charge 1 ETH for a piece.
It's not going to be tomorrow.
It's not going to be next week.
But, yeah, just, you know, you do have some really good drawings here.
And I would, you know, how long does it normally take you to do a piece?
Actually, from these pieces that I minted an object, it takes me like a day for a piece, something like that.
And when I'm in the mood for sketching, for drawing, and, yeah, you know, my most – my other pieces that it's on ETH, it takes me a lot more time.
And there is a piece that is like 1-1 editions, and some of, like, a piece that is pinned to my – it's my pin to it.
It takes me like more than 10 hours.
And, yeah, I make it like four or five days, and it takes me so much time to make it.
Like, and I was trying to get more in detail, and, yeah, because I hear, like, ETH is, you know, for ETH, I can't put, like, I think I can't post my sketches, sketches that I made in for ETH.
And I do it on object, you know, I'm trying to make, like, sketches on object, and main pieces on OpenSea, foundation, and, yeah.
Yeah, you do have some nice work, but when it's taking you a day to create something, if you can create, like, a time-lapse video of you doing your artwork,
and then, you know, kind of wrap it up with a little note to say, you know, how many hours it took you to do a piece,
I think that may help add to the price tag, which I would.
Guys, I couldn't – honestly, I give it to you.
I couldn't spend a whole day editing one piece of photography.
I just couldn't – I don't have the patience to do it.
You know, I give big shots out to the painters and the people that draw and, you know, that just use raw materials.
I think it says a lot when you can actually sit there and work on a piece for a whole day or a whole week or a whole month.
I mean, you can't give it away, and I think you're giving these away for a price that you think is comfortable right now.
I think I would bump up your price, and guys, if you don't believe me, watch.
Watch what happens to Ginger.
Ginger's going to bump his price up a little bit, and he's going to bump it up again in a couple months,
and you're just going to start to see his work go faster and faster.
As soon as people understand what you put into your artwork, you'll never get out of your artwork what –
when it comes to dollars and cents, what you think it's worth.
I think some of my photography is priceless, and I do put a price tag on it, and it's not, you know, it's not sellable because we add a monetary value.
I think, you know, your time is worth money, but creating something that's as beautiful as this, I would increase prices.
And, you know, let's see where that goes.
And, guys, right now, if you don't jump on this, you know, these collections, you may be missing out on something that's really great.
So I commend you for all that you're doing, and, you know, the time that you're putting into this artwork, it shows.
You know, I'd love to, you know, I'd love to see on your timeline where you've started at from, like, your earlier pieces until, you know, show me the progress of your work.
Give me a post that shows, you know, something from a year ago, something from three years ago, something from five years ago.
You know, show me your progression as an artist, and, you know, and I'll follow your story, and, you know, I will be a collector.
Today, I'm not collecting because I have to pay bills.
But don't throw stones at me today.
But, no, keep it up, Ginger, you know, keep on doing what you're doing, and, you know, we love and support you.
And, you know, you keep on coming into these spaces, and you're getting love.
And, you know, that's what we do.
We love the people that, you know, pour their heart and soul into artwork.
So thanks again for coming up.
Yeah, the honor is for me, and I appreciate it.
And, yeah, from, like, two years before I started making NFTs, my progress like an artist, it's a lot more.
And I see how I improve my skills, how I get better, how, and, yeah, it takes me a lot of time, but I'm full ready to give all of my time for art, you know.
I just want to live for art, and I think I want to make this, and I want to pay my bills with my artworks, and, like, this is a little dream, and this is my motivation to get better and learn more.
And, yeah, I appreciate the awesome comments, and, yeah, thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to talk.
Look forward to the next time I talk to you, and I look forward to you dropping some more artwork, you know.
But, yeah, give us some more about you on your timeline.
I'd love to see your progression here, and, you know, we'll be there at the finish line with you.
Who do we have next, folks?
I'm going to talk over everybody.
Let's do, like, an virus place.
Wake up people, you know.
Who will wake up early, we will make a speaking.
I can do a space and just talk about myself, you know.
I've become long-winded, and I have to learn the etiquette of spaces, you know.
I do speak from my heart, and my heart is so full of love.
And, you know, I speak from emotion.
I'm a ball of just a big ball of a mess sometimes.
So, but, yeah, as long as you guys are laughing, crying, sharing, you know, supporting each other, you know, that fills my heart even more.
So, Rem, Rem, Rem, Rem, Rem.
You know, you said, hello, guys, hello, hello, my lovely community, lovely fam, my cactus community, my crazy Russian community, lovely, lovely.
And, of course, I know the NFT kid, maybe now he's fighting, I don't know what he does, but it doesn't matter.
I know he's with us, with his soul.
And, guys, hello for everyone.
You know, my dear, you said really true about your love, your job, and your feelings.
When we do, we are artists, we do the same, and when we are speaking in the space, we believe that we can show our message, our goal for the people, you know, because sometimes when you do fantastic art, but when you don't enjoy the space, maybe it will be, you know, invisible for people.
Because, you know, it's true that the guys, the people, they are lazy, but only the space and discord, also the discussion, we can be close to you, we can understand how much is important for us, some art, some emotions, some things.
This is lovely, when you can listen to the voice, you can listen to your emotions, what do you feel.
And when you say that this is about your heart, about your emotions, it's amazing.
Because immediately, we are like inside you, we are with you, we are with your minds, you know, together.
You're inside me, get out.
We are inside your brain, totally.
You can block me now if you want.
Because when you speak, when you speak with us, and we love you, we start to love you, we start to understand you.
Because sometimes when people, they are silent, it's so difficult, you know, how it's the same like when alcoholics, you know, alcoholics, alcoholics, they invited some friends, and they said, if you will not drink with us, we will cancel your number.
Because we have to be the same.
We have to speak about, we have to be honest.
If you don't want to speak with us, it means, uh-huh, you have your secrets.
Does it mean you are a spy?
This is a little bit jokes, but okay.
What I wanted to show you guys today.
I want to say, uh, always, every, my art, uh, depends on my moon, because, uh, I am, I know, sensitive, sensitive, sensitive artist.
I am, uh, I am, I don't know what I have with the problem with my brain, but sometimes I'm so much happy.
I love everyone, but some, another day, I hate everyone.
I want to be under blanket.
I don't know how it calls.
Uh, I cannot say that I have a bipolar, but it's happened with me because I think it's happened with any artist.
So, uh, I like to do art, what I feel, and when, uh, I just do think about some problem inside my brain, I do.
So, uh, I just wanted to show you, because, uh, when I, uh, listened to some story of my close friend, uh, about the manipulation and her, her family,
I immediately, I recalled about my situation, about my second husband.
It was totally, I was, uh, totally marionette in, uh, that one, in my past life, I think.
So, I called like this, you know.
So, this is my art about toxic relationship.
This is, uh, my collection, mental health collection, and, uh, digital oil colors.
And always, I do, I do, I published my, uh, creativity process.
Usually, I like so much to watch the, uh, time-lapse video.
You cannot stop to watch the magic.
This is about toxic relationship.
Because, sometimes, it doesn't matter, there is the girl, marionette, and the puppeter is a man.
Sometimes, it's different.
Addiction is one type of the hurting life.
But, it's not possible to be addiction of love without pain, you know.
The love can be different.
But, and, when you, you are in the same toxic relationship, you can, you have to be, you will be destroyer.
And, you will get the painful.
And, uh, sometimes, the one person in this love, uh, starts to become to be, like, a puppet.
And, another one turns into, like, a puppeter.
But, uh, you know, when you lose, you lose yourself in the relationship, when you have a chance to be only, like, a puppet, puppet, every day starts to bring pain.
But, it comes like a how.
With, really, it's not more love.
It's a little, a little how.
So, I just wanted to show you guys how much, sometimes, we agree, how much, sometimes, we, you know, we just, uh, approve this relationship.
And, uh, we can find many reasons to say, no, because he loves me, because I love him.
No, he or she just ask me to do this because, just to show me how much I love you.
No, this is a fucking shit.
That moment, another person make, like, a control about you.
I don't want to stall in time, because I know you have my request.
It's my, my past pain, and I don't want, I want to people just to try to avoid this relationship like this.
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.
I love you, I'll go around the world for you.
I will take my coat and put it over a puddle for you.
Tell us how much you hate him.
Let's see the raw emotions.
If I get some, you know, some etalon to, to make a measure for this, I didn't find.
Still, my pain is huge, maybe.
I, but, when I do some art, when I made this, I really, I, my, I lost, also about depression.
When you do art, you lost after, you know, because art gives you, like, freedom after, like, a libertarian language.
Now, I'm happy, because now I'm happy in my, with my, this now, my life, with my husband.
It's totally different, opposite.
It's totally, I'm so much happier, because I am not more, and he doesn't, and me, no.
And, and, but, sometimes, you know, when I listen from another persona, my pain came back to me.
So, and, um, I hope you will avoid, guys, and I hope you, you enjoy this, my art.
And, and, I spend one week to create this, because, uh, it's, it, this big pain is not easy.
All right, guys, we're going to play a little game.
We're going to play a game, and each one of you are going to come up, and we're going to say one thing that we hate about our spouse.
That's getting outside of your box, guys.
You don't need to say it.
My spouse talks too much.
He will go on, and on, and on, and it's like, we don't even know what you're talking about anymore.
Because you have gone off in 20 tangents.
He's crazy, but I love him.
Oh, match made in heaven.
I'm single for a reason, ladies.
I want to concentrate on my photography and just loving my son.
I love being a full-time dad, 24-7, 365.
He does not clean his room.
He does not do the dishes on top.
He does not take out the trash sometimes for two days.
This is my flesh and blood.
Where did I go wrong, folks?
I'm not really kidding, but you know.
I keep on forgetting this.
And hopefully my son doesn't listen to this space.
Your words, you made me now cry.
You see how much it's important to speak.
Guys, go out and tell your spouse or your kids.
There's some days I love you.
And some days I just can't stand the shit out of you.
But today's a good day because I love you.
This space came so emotional.
And I'm so sorry, Rima, about that.
The bad period, you're right, Manu.
And I want to pin the picture in your honor.
That's what I think about all the bad boys who made us pain.
Don't go for the bad boys.
Go for the guys that are soft and cuddly, that weigh 300 pounds, that have good personalities, that make you laugh.
Don't go for the chiseled guy, you know.
Don't go for the alpha male, you know.
Give that artist a shot, you know.
Keep those tough guys at the gym.
I think that's where Keith's at right now.
Keith's with all the bad boys.
I think Keith is a very good boy.
But I found already my laugh.
And about your words, I don't have children now, but I know how it's important to say how we love them.
But I can tell how I love to my mother and to my dad.
And I try to remember not to forget to say them how I love them.
Yes, we have a really sweet face today.
I have to put on my screen, really, this picture.
But in my past life, because now it's totally different.
But you know why I love you.
I told you when I saw this picture, I said, I love you forever.
Because I was totally the same.
You just don't put stabbing hearts on your artwork or cut them in half.
You know, remember when you were a little kid and somebody broke your heart as a little kid and you just cut up a picture of them?
Maybe somebody should come out with a collection just called Cutting Hearts.
Because everybody has that.
Love and hate are equal in all honesty.
And I think negative and positive, I think hate sometimes is more powerful in art.
And I think it's a great way of expressing that anger and getting something to help.
And in order to find peace in the world, I think we have to, like my own personal story.
I know I keep on going back to me, me, me, me, me, me.
And sometimes I don't like to do that.
But I think it's relevant in this space.
When I was in this space, I had a person that was holding me back and didn't believe in me as an artist or, you know, they wanted me to themselves as, you know, a person that just would just cater to every single one of their needs.
And, you know, there's only so much you can do for a person like that.
But I had to escape that person.
And I escaped with a mattress.
And I moved out and I left everything.
And sometimes in order to start your life and to learn how to love yourself, you have to get rid of everything in order to start from the beginning.
And I think we all need second chances, third chances.
I think we all need to go back.
And, you know, if you're in a relationship that you don't like, start making an exit plan and, you know, get out of that situation.
If you don't like a job, start looking for another job.
If you don't like your artwork, start hanging out with people that do better artwork than you.
So, you know, start surrounding yourself with people that love.
And you'll never look back.
And, you know, I've grown tremendously in this two years of my—it's like a rebirth.
And, you know, I thank each and every one of you because you have a little piece of me that comes out.
And, you know, you guys are inspiring.
And, you know, that's what I love.
And I love to hear the comments.
I love to, you know, hear the honesty.
And, you know, some people in here, their artwork may not be great, but it's a reflection of, you know, them as trying something new or something that frees them.
You know, never judge people's artwork.
You know, don't throw stones at each other.
You can help somebody if it looks like they might need some help.
And, you know, buying a person's artwork that hasn't sold in months makes their day.
You know, if you fall in love with that person, that piece of artwork is just a piece of artwork sometimes.
And you don't—you know, you have an emotional connection to that person.
And to me, you know, I do have some pieces of artwork that I've bought because I love the person.
I truly didn't like the artwork, but I love the person.
And I eventually fell in love with their artwork because I could see them come through their artwork then.
So, just when, you know, when you're feeling down, go out and buy a pair of shoes, ladies.
Now, go out and buy an NFT, you know.
Tell somebody you love them.
Or tell somebody you just don't care for them.
You know, just be honest and love.
All right, guys, who's next?
You're too nice to yell at.
Can I ask, how old are you about?
Because you sound like you're—you said you're from the 80s, and I went to high school in the 80s.
So, I just like meeting artists who are in my age group.
And just because we can relate to a lot of things.
You know what I wanted to say that might be encouraging to some people listening is that I just had—I work as an artist, solely as an artist, and I don't have another job.
But it took me many, many, many, many years to do that.
And I work very hard, but I have a lot of commissions that come in, but I'm still learning all the time.
And one thing that I just did that was really awesome for me was I had a retrospective of my work.
And I had all of my work together of over 25 years of work on display.
And then, after that was done, I felt like it was a really good opportunity to switch things up and start learning new things.
I'm learning about NFTs now, so I love it.
And I'm also learning about crypto, which I wanted to learn about anyway, and that's great.
And another thing that I just learned that I want to incorporate in my artwork is encaustics.
It's a really cool art medium where you use wax and oil paint together, and you create whatever you want with it.
But I want to incorporate my collage work with it.
And, yeah, that's something that I'm just getting into and hoping that it will be a success.
But I'm always learning, so always keep on learning.
It's imperative to your survival.
I love how you're trying something new, you know.
And, like I said, get out of your box, guys, you know.
And maybe that's what I should do.
Maybe I should go on a date instead of being dateless for the past year and a half.
But I've grown so much, though, being single.
So I don't know what to say.
I was single for a long time.
I was, my son was young, and I didn't want to date because he was young and impressionable.
And I went for almost, God, I don't even want to say.
But I went for a long time without dating.
And I think some of it was good for me and some of it was bad for me because I was kind of anti-social.
But I went through a rough time in my life.
And I've created some artwork that is really what I would consider kind of ugly artwork.
But it really helped me to relieve my stress from those situations.
I'm loving this conversation today.
And you guys thought you came here to get your NFT sold.
No, we're giving life lessons today.
And, you know, we're sharing common bonds.
And, you know, I think we can help each other grow.
And I think this is a different kind of space.
You know, Keith's going to come back like, what the heck happened?
Like, he just left us up here to co-host, you know.
We're going on emotions now, baby.
We're not going on dollar signs.
We're going on, you know, heartstrings.
We're going on, you know.
The space is growing, actually.
You know, it's nice to have an emotional contact with you guys.
And, you know, I couldn't.
I have a really small group of friends.
But I think these spaces cover a lot of my social needs when it comes to, you know, just learning and growing and becoming a better person.
I think, you know, we're pretty honest in this space.
And, you know, sometimes I have to be critical of somebody's artwork or just, you know, or of a person.
I've, you know, tried to I've seen artists that go off and start chasing coattails of other people and, you know, would want to lead to this artist because this artist is hot.
So I'm going to join with him and this other artist is hot and I'm going to, you know, go over to this space.
And they would just bounce from space to space.
And I said, as a collector, I was like, I have to call him out in the space.
And I said, you know, I'd love to see you concentrate on a certain piece of, you know, artwork.
I'd love you to work on your photography and, you know, it's tough when you've got to do some tough love and tell people that they're losing their way.
And I think we all need to speak up when we have somebody in our community that's going down the wrong path.
And, you know, it's OK to say, hey, you know what?
I love you and I want to see the best for you, but I don't think you're going through the right path.
And I think it's the way that we can discuss negative things and put a positive spin on it and say, you know, I'm not a yes man.
And, you know, in my early days, I would say if I had to say no to somebody, I would do it in a negative way.
And there's a way of positively saying negative things.
And I think, you know, sometimes it's called kid gloves.
So, but yeah, let's go into the next project.
Let's see who who wants it.
So nice to hear your conversations.
And I really love when space goes like this, you know, to make the space more warm.
And like we are real friends, family, but can speak about everything.
How is your mood right now?
We are all about love right now.
He's the one that has all the Ethan Tess today.
So we're two broke co-hosts trying to support a space the only way we know how to, by giving you guys emotional support and love and follows and likes.
Guys, thank you so much today.
I've had so many followers in this space.
And, you know, it means a lot to me.
And, you know, I want to thank you guys again for following me that haven't followed me.
And the followers that have been with me from the beginning, thank you.
You know, I'm almost at 5,000, which is a huge, huge milestone because I have curated most of my following.
So just because you send me a follow does not mean I will follow you guys.
And I hate to say that, and I'd love to follow, but sometimes you just don't have to follow everybody that wants to follow you, which is okay.
But, you know, but it's about the love today.
Two broke co-hosts, and the host with the most is not here right now.
And we are taking over the space.
You know, thank you, Keith, for giving us the opportunity to, you know, reach out and touch the artist community.
And, you know, we're going to share some more love.
So, Soj, Soj, how do you say that?
I'm terrible with names, guys.
And I've been in NFT community for a couple of months.
I'm so glad that I'm here tonight.
Actually, it's night in Iran with you.
I want to show you some of my works that I, you know, today I meant on object.
Actually, first of all, I have to explain some of my interesting photography.
I'm so, you know, I'm so passionate about natural environment.
And I'm a kind of environmentalist in my country.
So, always I try to take some shots that bring the beauty of nature.
And last days I have a, I had a trip to Northern Iran and I, you know, took some shots.
And I want to show you one of them that is actually a beautiful forest with, you know, so beautiful colors.
So, let me show you, yes, you see, actually, I was standing up in the middle of the river.
Also, I have a collection that is, that the name is Craft Collection.
Craft means a little garden.
All of them have a same, actually, theme with a black and dark background.
And then, I draw some kind of plants with delightful details.
And also, I really care about complementary colors and, you know, nice, you know, composition.
So, I hope you enjoy all of them.
I'd love to learn a little bit more about your light painting.
Like, whenever you're light painting, what's your thought process?
Like, do you go with a plan or do you just, you know, fly by night?
Just, you know, try and see what works.
You are talking about my Pinterest?
I was talking about the, yeah, the pin tweet.
Yeah, actually, I remember these photos belongs to many years ago.
I used to, you know, I used to spend my time on the top floor to, you know, to take some shots from night in Tehran.
Some shots from moon buildings.
Some shots from moon buildings.
And you see there is a famous landmark in Tehran, Mila Tower.
And I was so enthusiastic about taking shots by zooming and, you know, make some line, light line.
So, I set the shutter speed, I remember, set the shutter speed low and I zoomed by the lens.
So, the results, so you can see one of the photos.
Also, on another photo, I turned the camera on the tripod so you can find parallel line on the photo, you know.
I find it, like, it's experimental, which is kind of cool because you're thinking outside of the box.
I was, you know, I was taking lightning photos the other night and I kicked my tripod and, you know, it was wild, like, the picture that came up.
I was like, what happened?
I was like, oh my gosh, I kicked my tripod.
So, yeah, sometimes, like, some of the best artwork is when you go outside that box and try a different technique.
And, you know, with photography, there's so many different things that you can do that, you know, just experimenting and coming up with different ideas.
You know, I would always want to touch base with, like, I've tried macro photography.
I've tried street photography, landscapes, and I've done nude photography, which I've never shared with the world yet.
But maybe one of these days, because I just find beauty and black and white nude photography, it's, it's so, I don't know, it's, it's, it's so vulnerable, I guess.
So, it's, it's one of those things that are outside of my box, but, you know, just by learning landscape photography, you know, doing nudes probably would not, you know, it wouldn't really make me feel uncomfortable because I can visualize, you know, mountains and hills and valleys and just, you know, just tracing lines out.
And I think, you know, I think, you know, I like your work, I love it a lot.
So, guys, I wish I had about a million tests on me today because I've seen some amazing work.
And, you know, I just want to congratulate each and everybody that has come up.
But, yeah, thank you again for sharing.
That means a lot for me, actually.
And I'm totally agree with you because I strongly believe that the human body is so beautiful.
So, I'm a big fan of nude art.
So, I want to motivate you to present your works.
And thank you for your listening to me and this opportunity.
And, yes, it's beautiful art, beautiful photos.
But I think we interrupted Veorica.
She wanted to tell about your art too.
Thank you so much for back to me.
Oh, so let's speak about love.
So, I have some editions on my non-origin.
And here you can see two pieces and editions.
The first one is called See.
And it's inspired by the phrase that I heard sometimes.
It's what we look at with love.
So, if you have a lot of love in our hearts, we can see this beauty around us.
And I see in this piece I wanted to show that this beauty, even if around us is darkness,
we can create this light with the love and with the feeling of love in our hearts.
The second one is inspired by the NFT spaces.
You know, when we put the headphones and we can hear the voices from all around the world.
And we can feel all the spectrum of emotions, of feelings, of thoughts, of personalities.
It's so beautiful for me.
It's so relaxing, so inspiring.
And, yeah, it's just 0.008 Tezos.
It's less than $30, I guess.
So, only four editions left for the first one and three editions left for another one.
And this is my pieces on Ethereum and I want to also to share with you my piece on Tezos.
Then, there I made some animated pieces.
So, I have two collections.
Both of them are animated.
And this one is a cyberpunk collection.
It's like my vision of near future.
You know, we have a lot of possibilities and the world became more closer and accessible.
But we have a lot of fears and we don't know what can be in this future.
How this future can change.
And we will remain human or we will be like robots, I don't know, with all this development of technology.
So, all of these pieces are animated and tell a story.
So, this one especially is about connection, about being online every time, every moment to survive in this life.
Even children are online every time.
So, what kind of human we are when we live the life like this.
So, thank you so much for your attention.
It's all about the love today.
I want to add that in the first edition, so you can see in the comment that time lapse.
You said that you love to see time lapse.
So, you can see the process of the pictures, how I created.
As always, I love hearing from you.
You've been in the spaces for how many years?
You've been in spaces for what, two years now?
No, one year and a few months.
Well, we're aging as it gets.
I'm like, and I must feel like 10 years being in these spaces, even though it's been like two, two and a half years.
Love seeing your work, as always.
Like you said, it's all about the love.
All right, who do we got next, folks?
Thank you very much for you giving me a microphone again.
My space three times rocks, and it's not cool.
Hello, hello, hello, hello, everyone.
I'm glad to see you in this space.
GM Kitta, GM Vasi, GM JCZ, and all people in this space.
My name is Vladimir, and 76 in my nick.
It's a region of my country.
I'm creating art, creating video.
Today, Tether's Tuesday, and I share my two collections.
It's my first collection on object,
and it's a very big collection for me.
It's a collection of cute toy animals.
Because all people love toys,
and all people love animals.
And I compile it, and I compile it, and update this,
and you see results, and price for one item,
It's my first collection from object,
and after I share my second collection.
It's a collection about toy, too,
but it's toy not for children.
It's toy not for children.
It's toy for adults, people,
because it's a crazy and funny style
on musculate toys in style Tom of Finland.
Thank you, kid, for your space.
And thank you for giving me
a microphone three times.
Thank you very much, fam.
How long does it actually take you to,
you know, from start to finish,
to actually do one of these animations?
And I create video to Twitter
and for show very big my arts.
On object, just art, not animation.
Now, I was looking at your childhood memories.
and I'm creating and starting art
after I go and procreate it
and after I add art on runaway
and after I go and procreate video
your pricing's just a little low.
or pricing for childhood memories?
zero, zero, one, three, Ethereum.
I think you're giving it away
and that's the thing, guys.
