I have an old and unhappy laptop, but (with patience and the occasional restart) I was able to do something that FAR exceeds the capabilities of my ancient machine. I (FINALLY) put together a gallery of cryptoart for people to visit. There are only about 50 or so pieces in the space (at the moment), and they are all from Tezos platforms, but I enjoy ALL of these pieces. Feel free to visit!

Now that we are in a crypto winter / bear market / blood in the streets situation, I suppose a lot of people will lose interest in cryptoart and other fun stuff - but not me! I'm still going to be out there EVERYDAY making new stuff!!! (I WISH I had a bunch of cash to throw at buying some crypto...then I could buy more of OTHER PEOPLE's art! Right now, though, we are in the middle of moving, plus there's a recession, PLUS the semester is over at the college where I work, so my extra income has dried up! Talk about perfect timing!!! Ha!)

"Chester (and His Contacts)"
[Digital drawing created with my phone.] Chester knows the score...and if there's something that he DOESN'T know, he knows how to find out!

"Minky-Buudl"
[Digital drawing created in MS Paint on my crappy, old laptop! Ha!] Minky was a demon-imp. He was kind of a shithead as a child (for the first 300 years or so of his life), but now he volunteers at a soup kitchen on the weekends and he tries not to eat TOO MANY humans!

"Old Skool Trash (Glitched)"

"Egg Man Takes the Stairs"
[Ballpoint pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Egg Man does a lot of walking, although his world has a greater number of dimensions than ours does. It looks, to us, like he's walking sideways across these stairs...and that's exactly what's happening. Neat! Right?

"Birds"
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color removal!] Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane... It's... No, wait... It IS a bird. False alarm!

What in the world... What should I do now? I could make more artwork, but I wouldn't want to "oversaturate the market!" (Ha!) Maybe I'll just lay around and chill...
Later!
