It's not the game.
Your taste in the rain.
Y'all is in someone.
We'll be changed.
Don't need a little breath.
Got this way, stick on the top.
Got to.
Hey, buddy, used to be.
Just had to blame you, shoot the tree.
We watched as far as you could see.
It's not the game.
Alright, there's not that many comments.
There's not much art to buy.
So I just found Lexi's profile.
I'm going to buy from Lexi.
She's a big Tezos artist.
She's always out here supporting.
But good morning, Dead Ducks.
Let me say what's up to you real quick.
What's up, buddy?
How you doing, man?
Buying spring.
How's it going?
Not too bad. I had a little bit of a bummer of a day.
I don't know if you ever had that where you woke up and you realized you forgot to buy coffee. And so I'm without my coffee
right now and I'm struggling to wake up. So I have a Starbucks delivery coming. It's going to be
knocking on the door any minute. I need to get caffeinated. I get it. I get it. Even though I haven't had any caffeine, I'm smoking
a joint. So I guess we're totally opposite in that sense, actually. But I do get it. I love
caffeine. I love coffee. Do you like what you do? Cut out coffee for good? Like what's the reason
you don't do caffeine? It's just I work out a lot in the morning. So it kind of gives me upset
stomachs like I get indigestion. So I have, like, worse runs, you know.
I don't run as hard.
So I just don't have coffee until, like, later in the day when I'm, like,
I need, like, a real pick-me-up when I've already had some food.
I do, like, intermittent fasting, so I don't eat until, like, 1 or 2 p.m. usually.
So it's a whole thing.
Yeah, I do the same thing.
So my coffee is usually black, no cream, no sugar until at least noon.
And then you start adding cream and sugar.
But I love coffee.
Coffee to me is, I feel like it's a gift from the gods.
The smell of coffee, the taste of coffee, I love it.
Do I need my coffee? Yeah yeah i can agree with that don't worry we're gonna play some more music and i'm gonna buy some art i'm getting some from lexi i don't know if you've
ever supported uh tezza's art i know you're a big artist as well and uh we're gonna talk about the
dead ducks and you guys are minting you You had a huge mint bounty right now.
It's huge.
I mean, if someone hits that in this room could really help them out, you know,
but, but yeah, do you know how to, I think I sent you a co-host.
Can you, you want to accept that?
Just so you can invite people up as well.
Yeah.
Can you talk?
Oh, here it is.
I just got it.
Okay, cool.
Cool. Oh, here it is. I just got it. Okay, cool.
Alright, I'm going to toggle with this.
Lexi, your art's getting bought right now.
That's it. Everyone, drop the Tezos art in the comments. Share with
any artists here this morning.
And give Dead Ducks a follow. We're going to
do a fun little giveaway in a little bit with them as well.
And that's it.
Good morning. Good morning. I have a great, great,, one day, one day, one day, one day. boom i did it i bought the first nft from lexi let's go all right look through the comments
i want to support some artists here today and check out dead ducks their page i mean
the art with them is sick so check it it out. I'll put it up to the top. Thank you. One day, this nation will rise, live out the true meaning of this free.
The true meaning of this dream, I have a dream, that one day on the earth, sons of former slaves,
will they be able to sit down and have a table of brothers, I have a dream, one day.
Shit, you were ready. Thank you. Thank you. I'm gonna be a shelter in your gold blood In your gold
Alright, I just collected from Rayhan i think that's how you pronounce it but
if you want to come up here go ahead and come up here hang out with us
we're gonna stop stopping uh or start in a little bit we got to get this coffee
it's on the way i'm i'm tracking i started early anyway i just wanted to get the room going
and uh i just want to start it early.
So I didn't have to end it fast.
Because I do have a hard stop at a certain point.
But yeah, I appreciate you, man.
So this was my fault.
But we'll build up the room.
I'll collect art.
And we'll hang out listening to some music.
So no worries.
But if anyone's in here, you're an artist, you want to share the room, that'd be much appreciated.
And then if you have any Tezos art yourself, I'm collecting anything I see in the comments, literally everything and anything.
So Lexi didn't even post hers in the comments.
I just saw her in here.
I know she's a big Tezos artist.
So I wanted to collect from her.
Happy Tezos Tuesday.
I haven't done this in a couple of weeks.
So I want to do it show some love
the artists in the space and also talk about dead ducks and their big art community and man
the comments are popping with the the army the dead ducks army man people are going ham ham in
the comments so i love that kind of support you know that that's awesome i love when people
raid and go hard for their community showing all their dead ducks show them show me all of them
show me everything videos i want to see it all all right i appreciate everyone being here that
go ahead yeah it's kind of cool like seeing uh all the community art like they're doing like
ai stuff with their dead ducks um there's there's
some really cool stuff that people are doing it that's one of the things i've always liked about
just these nft projects is how they connect with people because our art is so subjective in fact i
was going to ask you about like tezos nfts like what do you look for when when you're looking
for an nft project what are you specifically looking for to support that what what do you
connect with
uh well right now i've just been kind of collecting everything and we're in the space trying to support so i just kind of grabbed everything but here look i'll find something
more that i really like and that i would just collect anyway and i'll kind of explain more but
i mean i like a kind of a wide variety of artistic styles sometimes calligraphy type of
things sometimes it could be like oil type of paintings or something like that or they could
have just a great meaning it could be something really simple but it's too like a big cause or
meaning in their life or something and it's meaningful so I vibe with that you know I like
that as well and yeah i think there's
a couple different factors that come into play but i'll collect some and then i'll explain as we go
and that'll be uh i think that'll be good yeah that's awesome and uh my coffee just got here so
i'm going to be a little more awake here in a few minutes whoa let's go. Let to go to anywhere I floor. I can't fly high, I can't go low, today I got a million I believe that time's national.
I can fly high.
I can go low.
Today I got a million
tomorrow.
I don't know. Thank you. I'm going to be like a phone, you think about the show, we're all playing the same game, waiting
on the phone, I'm going to know, especially when I call, it will make you call, shoot
the phone, make me feel the wrong, make me feel the the cold It's written in a story, it's written on the wall
This means a call, it's about to be called
Dancing in the moonlight, don't get it on so I Tomorrow I don't know Make me feel the warmth Make me feel the cold
It's written in a song
It's written on the board
This is a call
Your eyes can fall
Dancing in the moonlight
Don't get along All right, Jessica, I'm buying from you.
That's it. all right as I buy another piece from Jessica we're not here for a long time we're here for
a good time so share the room share it out here we're gonna buy some art I'm gonna talk about dead ducks
and their art behind what they're doing get a huge bounty going on so check it
out I think I reposted it on my page but I think we've collected four pieces on
Tezza so far gonna keep collecting I see some in the comments. So I'm collecting from Jessica
right now. I collected from
Rayhan. I think she was up here.
She might have dropped.
But yeah, welcome everyone
up here. Appreciate it.
My guy over here, I think
he got his coffee.
I sure did.
How you doing? Actually, let's
say good morning. I think we're good. We played enough music. We collected a bunch I sure did. I'll smoke the weed, and we're good. Yeah, I got my coffee.
The black, it's kind of nice.
My wife felt bad.
I was texting her going, oh, man, we don't have coffee.
Can you pick some up?
And then she's all, go check the front door.
And there was coffee waiting there at the front door.
So it's nice when you got a good woman taking care of you.
She had coffee, like multiple coffees waiting for me at the front door.
So I'm doing good now. I'm going to start waking up here in a second.
Let's go.
That's what I like to hear.
So, my
brother, tell me a little bit about your art
journey. I mean, we're supporting
artists here today on Tezos.
We're obviously talking about the Dead Ducks as well. This space is sponsored by the Dead Ducks here today. So we're supporting artists here today on Tezos. We're obviously talking about the dead ducks as well
The space is sponsored by the dead ducks here today
So we're gonna talk about the bounty and you're you're you're all about art, too
So this is a perfect space to do this kind of intro my community to yours have some fun buy some art
You know no pressure have some have some good. I almost said drinks, but I'm smoking weed, so it's all good.
But a lot of artists don't even smoke weed, so respect to them.
Yeah, as far as journey goes, it's kind of interesting.
I don't feel like the crypto journey is part of it.
feel like the crypto journey is part of it.
Like getting into Bitcoin last bull cycle,
like getting into Ethereum,
casually watching NFTs.
But as far as art journey goes,
that's like roots down to like childhood,
like early memories of me and my two brothers.
My older brother was super good at drawing,
loved drawing comics,
loved drawing all that kind of stuff.
And so we would entertain ourselves.
We'd just sit around drawing and drawing X-Men, drawing Spider-Man, drawing all this stuff.
And so art has always been just part of my life and not knowing.
It's kind of like I didn't choose to do artistic stuff.
It's just kind of always been there.
And so even in my in real life work, I do architectural design. I do 3D modeling for
custom homes. And like I've taken photography classes. I've always been looking into digital
art methods, drawing in MS Paint when MS Paint first came out. And art has always been there.
out and um art has always been there um but just it's i having artistic people around me i don't
like i would never consider myself an artist uh i've always just loved art and so i've always been
into art so coming into nft spaces and uh seeing projects the reality was like i I love all NFTs. Like I love Pudgies. I love Azuki.
I love seeing these artists putting their work on into NFTs.
And so just last year, I was like, I wanted to be part of it.
I thought I had something to offer.
I got wrecked in the trenches.
I got into crypto trading and got wrecked in the trenches with PumpFun and with all of that stuff.
And I was like, man, what am I doing, like trying to be a trader?
And I kind of took a step back after being wrecked.
It was like, what am I doing?
What do I do well?
What do I like?
And I looked at NFTs and I was like, I love NFTs.
I've always loved NFTs.
And I've always loved cool design and cool cultures and subcultures and like underground collections and bootleg comics and all that kind of stuff.
And so that's kind of what the start of Dead Ducks really was.
It's almost like my love letter to NFTs, my love letter to CryptoPunks, my love letter to Azuki's and Bored Apes and Pudgy's and all of these other projects.
But it was also like so much more. It's kind of like my love letter to music, to comics, to I love sci-fi.
I love fantasy. I love all of these things.
And so if you look at the collection, it's like this hodgepodge of everything that I like from those things.
So it's like post-apocalyptic art
the dead ducks were resurrected in the future they came to life um and and you and they they've taken
on all of these personality traits of stuff that i like they love they're wearing crypto shirts
ethereum and bitcoin shirts that they wear they uh they wear rock shirts. They have mohawks. They're pretty
aggressive feeling, which is kind of ironic because I'm not an aggressive guy in any way.
But the dead ducks are these just aggressive underdogs that are not meant to be alive,
that were discarded and thrown away and yet have come back fighting. And so it's been a fun project.
The project has taken on so many multiple layers for me personally.
When you think about when you go through life and something beats you down,
something you're kind of like left for dead after a tragedy in your life
or after a devastating circumstances has happened in your life.
And then it takes a certain type of person to get back up and learn from it
and smile and dust yourself off and face another day. And to me, that's what the dead ducks have
always been about. And I just, I love my ducks. I put so much time drawing every trait, put so much
time into the background, so much time into everything. And so this has been a little
underdog story and it's cool just to see people connect
with it and uh and to want to be part of it so it's been awesome that was perfect timing
just collected from samantha she she was up here on stage but try to collect a bunch here today
awesome man awesome and have you collected
on tezos before no i was actually going to ask you maybe like for the novice you can let people
know how to get an nft on tezos uh what kind of platforms or wallets they can use and uh get them
started yeah yeah it's easy you can go in the app store. You could download the temple wallets the easiest one basically, it'll connect so like
Object is like the open sea of tezos, right? So objects so you go on object
And you use that platform to buy these nfts
And then um, you hold them in your your temple wallet and tezos
It's really easy for iranians for you know people in sweden people in
spain people all over the world so where it's sometimes open sea or some of these other magic
eden or some of these other platforms are harder for people and i i just feel like tezos is like
a very art focused blockchain and uh that's like all like that's how i know about tezos so i feel like that's their
biggest utility and um yeah yeah there's a lot of good tezos artists in here right now so but yeah
if you want to if you want to check it out download the temple wallet i have some tezos i could send
you to too if you want to buy some yourself and kind of get started it'd be kind of fun just to
experiment but and that's been the thing. I love supporting projects.
Most people don't know what goes into these projects, the time and effort.
And, I mean, you think it's just something that they're just throwing out there.
But there's so much to it and so much passion and so much behind a project.
So I love supporting because everyone's projects if you really spent
to spend the time to get to know the artists and get to know some of the
things that they're putting out it's amazing and so like yeah for sure send
them
let's go all right well let's say let's say what's up to Mun, his hand up. Let's get Samantha up here.
Say what's up to Samantha.
Okay, good afternoon, everyone.
Yeah, okay, Mun, also known as Oliver Mun,
spacing from Nigeria, yeah?
So I just want to ask a question, if you remember.
Do you remember your first black and white um dead duck poster from 2020
i didn't release anything in 2020 it was uh not till 2024 2020 or beginning of this year
that i started releasing stuff okay okay okay because I remember back then, I think it was just on Discord then, there was just a little design, it was just black and white, I don't know, you know, just by the dead dogs by the cemetery, a kind of old poster, you know, it was quite crafty and well, you know, monochrome, you know.
I just wanted to know if you guys, you know,ochrome you know i just wanted to know if you if uh if you guys you
know remember it's that that's just all yeah so i know that there is a couple other dead duck
projects out there but mine started uh the origin of it was december of last year and then i really
didn't start marketing it until january uh in spaces and posting and uh shilling it and talking
about it and then like the drawing actually started in January
where I started actually producing everything.
Okay, okay.
The reason why I actually brought it up
was the fact that, you know, I think in 2020 then, yeah,
I was on Discord and I was big on the project
with the contributors then, yeah.
But like you said, you said you said sometimes you know
life take a toil you know on the person's life and you know it's graceful for us to even have
the moment in which we have you know and at the same time you know the NFT project you know
resonates with the with our struggles you know of having to come up from the dark side, coming up to the bright side
with an open guidance.
I believe that is what this NFT was suggesting then.
And what's this suggestion now, right?
Because I remember then I was quite a bit of the contributor there.
I was known as Moonlight there.
But at the same time, ever since then, I had an L-term decline.
They lasted for four years.
It's just my 13-day year back on X, tweeting my first post. And I'm really glad to be back here.
And I'm glad to see that Dead Duck did so much growth, did so much growth, did so much progress, you know.
Kudos, shout out to everyone.
Shout out to the team.
Shout out to all the contributors here.
Take care, yeah.
Thank you, man.
Yeah, yeah, that's one of the things that's been amazing about this project is just seeing it start.
It started so small.
I was literally hanging out, A-Shock's over here on stage, but him and a few other people were a bunch of crypto traders in like the pump fund trenches.
I was literally hanging out.
They were tracking wallets, getting into projects, and the dead ducks, I was drawing them.
That's why I say they're born in the trenches, because I was literally drawing while traders were like tracking wallets, were trying to see what projects to get into.
Monkey was advising people on projects that they should invest in.
And a lot of that kind of feeling of these DGens who were just here trading and tracking wallets and checking out liquidity pools and bots and all of these things is where the ducks were born.
We really started from the bottom, started with just a few followers.
Man, I remember the day I came over and I told my wife,
hey, we got our first follower.
Hey, we're up to five followers.
It's all been organic.
It's all been really cool just seeing the support.
So thank you, man.
Oh, shit. just seeing the support so thank you man oh shit we got got mexi in here mexi's a big tezos collector a big supporter mexi's my favorite person ever so let's say hi to mexi real quick let me throw mexi a co-host invite if she's willing
to accept it say what's up mexi good morning to you what's up how
you doing i started a little early excuse me but yeah i started the space a little early
but good morning good morning how you doing good morning keith i fucking love you i'm so happy to
be here with you all of you motherfuckers better share this room out showcase some love he's always showing up for
every single person doesn't matter who you are how big or small he really does he's in he's in
everyone's corner so we fucking love you Keith I'm doing good I'm doing good I'm doing better
now that I'm here um glad to be doing this you know I love Tezza's Tuesday and I also really
love the Dead Ducks art um in their community. I've got to talk to the artist and support him a little bit.
It's been awesome.
So I'm really happy to see the collab you have going on
and to see all the homies up in the room.
How are you feeling?
Doing good.
And you had the comic book background, right?
Were you the ones that I talked to that had been to?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I work Comic Cons. Yeah, that's right. That's right. And so that's one of the things I to like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I were Comic-Cons.
Yeah, that's right. That's right. And so like, that's one of the things I love,
like it's such a cool community, like for years going to Comic-Con and never,
never been part of it. The hope is one day I'm going to have a dead ducks booth
there at Comic-Con. You guys will see some dead ducks comic books or anime or
something going on. I think, I think that'd be, that's,
that's the dream for me having been somebody who's been attending those things for years.
Yeah, it's, yeah, I remember we talked about that.
I've been working Comic Cons for the past about 10 years, and a lot of people don't
realize, like, exactly what it is, or, like, that it's not just, like, nerd culture.
It's very much pop culture mixed culture uh mixed in with like art
and all the other different stuff and i think i really think like comic-con is the way to like
push some of these projects and uh it's gonna be interesting to see that wave hit hit the comic-con
floor um maybe dead ducks can lead that that'll be dope yeah i know it's really cool because uh
that that culture has caught on.
Like when I was going years ago, this is how long it may go in the first Iron Man movie.
I saw Robert Downey Jr. and the whole crew from the first Iron Man movie when I went to Comic-Con, my first con.
And like people not knowing what was coming, but that whole culture, that whole group of people saw what was coming
before everybody else.
So it's really cool.
You're kind of at the forefront of that sci-fi,
of that cool culture that a lot of people
eventually will get into.
Yeah, for sure.
I appreciate that.
I love the work you guys are doing in the art. Glad guys linked up with keith are we buying tezos today keith are we gonna buy some tezos art
yeah i bought some from samantha bought some from some people up here already uh but yeah let's say
hi to samantha real quick since uh she's up here she's an artist from Tezos hanging out with us hello hello Maxi hello NFT kid
dead dog all of my dear friends here thank you for having me happy Tezos Tuesday you know to be
honest I really don't believe in Tezos Tuesday but happy this day to all of you. And thank you for having me.
May I share my art with you and with description?
Yeah, yeah.
Share the one that I collected earlier.
Thank you for purchasing my art.
I want to, first of all, all I wanna introduce myself to all of
you I'm Samantha I'm a Persian calligrapher I've been painting since I was a
child and about calligraphy I doing calligraphy about six years and the
Persian calligraphy with digital and physical one as you see in this work in WIP you can see the process
and it's a physical and I did it by a traditional pen and ink traditional Persian ink actually, and about the contest that's a perspect test and
I wanted to say a thousand of lines and words emerge. For me they made from one image and for you perhaps something different.
And it's, you know, the perspective is more than a visual.
And neither is right or wrong. They are simply a reflection of where we stand and the vision that we have and yes that's it
and if you have any comments any feedback
I'll definitely check out that collection art, Samantha.
How long have you been doing your art, Samantha?
You've been doing that for a long time?
Yes, about six years.
I did calligraphy.
I've been doing calligraphy about six years.
And, you know, my voice turned to me i i got confused sorry i guess uh an
fd kid have some problem i just yeah i saw that too that's why i'm jumping in
Yeah, so with your...
I love that.
I was going to say one thing real quick to Samantha.
I've collected some of her pieces.
I really do appreciate collecting some of these independent artists, because in the end,
this is a great avenue for them to produce their art and their work.
And just kind of like the Web3 army and culture is like a really good community to
have behind your back.
And so like, that's why I enjoy doing the Tezos too, the spaces with Keith, you know,
like I'm not a huge Tezos person, but I understand like the marketplace and like its availability
and you know, global access for a lot.
So yeah, I'm glad Samantha's here today.
I appreciate you, Samantha. Thank you, I'm glad Samantha's here today. I appreciate you, Samantha.
Thank you, Mexi. Thank you, dear.
Really appreciate it, dear.
Yeah, it sounds like Keith is packing something over there.
We're inside of the bong right now. That's what's happening.
So Mexi, what was the last con you did, Mexi?
Keith, mute your shit, Keith.
You're hot-miking, Keith.
We hear all the echoes.
We hear your breath.
We hear it all.
Yeah, you're echoing.
Oh, man, you sounded like you should have been on, like, a Tron movie or something a second ago.
I cannot hear myself echo right now, Keith.
I can't do this shit. Get it together. Thank you.
