Using comics as blockchain narratives and storytelling!

Still surviving, and I’ll say thriving with a cautiously lowercase “t”, here in quarantine. I’m pretty much being consumed by art and creative energy from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep. Even more so than when all of this started. Thank you for all the love here lately. It’s continuing to fuel my output and reaffirm that this a worthy use of my time. Today, I’ve been finishing work on a big, big project. It’s comic related and most of you know, that’s where my heart truly is. I’m going to ask to temper any tribalism you may have, because I’m very proud of how this turned out.

As I’ve mentioned, I’m leading the art and marketing initiative at Hive account@eos.detroit. Really, the only project that turns my stomach is TRON, but there are a few I’m especially enamored with. HIVE, and EOS, at the top. Hive account@robrigo handed me the reigns of Hive account@eos.detroit’s visual art strategy and I’ve been running for it since. To his credit, the crazy idea of branding ourselves as the “graphic novel” block producer was a huge leap of faith, but he’s had complete trust in me, so I’m trying to deliver that this may work at getting up some attention, and votes.

This “clans” idea is something I came up with about two months ago. A lot has happened since then. We have a Q1 Proxy Prospectus release coming up at the end of this month, and this was the most ambitious of several pages of comic book art I’ve produced since signing on with Hive account@eos.detroit. The premise is, EOSIO, the overarching blockchain software, is the creator and giver of life to all these clans; a metaphor for the projects and sister chains running alongside EOS. The rest of the narrative is self explanatory, I think.

I made a VLOG a couple days ago about realizing what my role in all of this should be. I want to be an ambassador for the artists that exist in the blockchain space. We have HIVE, and a few other social blockchain networks, but I want to see our art reach farther and start telling the stories behind the technological feats that are often explained in white papers and medium posts. This was a really cool project. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Thanks for checking it out, and have a great night.
