My 2022 recap megapost! Art, Music and NFTs!

WELL IT'S ALREADY 2023, DANG, THAT WENT BY MEGA FAST! I'M LOOKING BACK AT THE ART AND MUSIC I MADE OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR AND WHILE I DIDN'T ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING I WANTED TO I WAS PRETTY PRODUCTIVE! HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE CREATIONS:

IT'S ALL IN THE EYES... LIGHT/DARK VERSIONS
MINTED ON NFTSR!

LIGHT: https://nftshowroom.com/gallery/juliakponsford_alien-honey-inc_its-all-in-the-eyes-light-self-portrait
DARK: https://nftshowroom.com/gallery/juliakponsford_alien-honey-inc_its-all-in-the-eyes-dark-self-portrait

I also created ALIEN BLESSINGS which is a thank you NFT for my NFT Showroom collectors! There is just 1 edition left, I will need to make a new one :)

My first mint of the year on SuperRare was SHE LIVES IN A FORMLESS VOID:

The rest of the series:

One of my personal faves was DAYMARES, miinted on NFTSR and still has editions available:

At this point I moved and there was a big gap in creating, moving is really exhausting LOL, this was the first collage I made after arriving here, GUN TO YOUR HEAD:

Next up I made a guitar video! At that point I had been learning for about 6 months.

FAR AWAY FROM WHERE I WAS

The final piece in my SuperRare series was SCARECROW ROYALTY:

At this point I started playng heavily with AI stuff (I've almost always used a bit of AI in my collages, at least since 2018, but this is where tech started exploding, wow! Disco diffusion and wombo were out around that time...

This is a self portrait I ran through wombo a bunch of times and made a GIF, THE FLOWERS ARE HUNGRY

This was a fun ALIEN piece, PLANETARY FLORAL ARRANGEMENT

I guess the market started crashing in MAY when I made this, interesting how I can use my art as a diary of sorts. FEELING A BIT BEARISH:

ZYGOATS was an AI assisted collage that was featured at Hive account@hivefest !

Here i made some more music! I'd love to do a studio recording of this one with some additional instrumentation, coming maybe this year???

Up next is another guitar track with some effects, minted on NFTSR, Internal Flora:

In order to motivate myself to songwrite more I decided to participate in Hive account@hiveopenmic, I wanted to try to enter every week or at least as much as possible and that was a flop! I always ran out of time, I did end up with a bunch of half written songs though so at least I have material to continue working on. This song was called Hold Me Down and the theme was humility/modesty:

This art called headlines was made while I was part of the DALLE artist support program, it's a collage / video made with some AI generated elements, listen here as it has music as well!

MYCODREAMIUM was a full length music video I made, original music and art generated in DALLE for the visuals:

I don't love doing cover songs all that much but some are so fun to play and sing I make the exception, this one is called ALL THE BLACK by Cat Clyde:

I created this for the NFT Showroom Halloween show in Cryptovoxels!

I'LL SEE YOU THERE: https://nftshowroom.com/gallery/juliakponsford_alien-collage_ill-see-you-there

This one is still in a state of limbo! II have 2 different versions and wanted to perhaps add music, another coming s00n....

Spirit Guide / WIP

Here i did another cover song: Prepare for Disappointment by Matt Elliott
This one is pretty easy too fingerpick!

Here I dd another Original Song, it's about that moment in the morning when you first wake up and start to forget your dreams, LOST FOREVER:

SOMBER THOUGHTS was minted on NFT SHOWROOM: https://nftshowroom.com/gallery/juliakponsford_alien-collage_somber-thoughts

ASTRAL FAMILY REUNION was a full length music video collab with Hive account@vachemorte that is minted on SuperRare, you can watch the full vid n this tweet:

I also did some collab around this time with Hive account@elgeko, it was live art creation in the MOCA discord but remains unfinished, I have this on my 2023 TO DO list!

The very last NFT of the year II minted was on NFT Showroom, The Monarch!

I've omitted a few things for the sake of brevity (LOL this post s soooo long!) Here's to being creative in 2023! I want to finish by thanking everyone who's left me supportive comments on HIVE, collected my art and collabed with me <3 Love you all!
