My art journal is a meaningful way to share my studies and behind-the-scenes moments, giving them a lasting place beyond the fleeting nature of social media. Unlike my regular blog posts, I update these entries more frequently—sometimes several times a week—offering a faster and more intimate glimpse into my process. Here, I’ll share my process first, creating a more curated and personal experience for those who take a deeper interest in my work and visit my website.

It’s been a deadline-heavy stretch, but I’m slowly returning to my regular rhythm. Sharing a new cloud collage today which I built from sky snapshots I took earlier this week. Always looking up.

From Grass Root to Tie Loot Sale

Happy announce that my piece From Grassroots to Tie Loot was collected yesterday. 

From Grass Root to Tie Loot examines the shifting dynamics of the crypto art space, particularly its (d)evolution from a grassroots movement to a venture capital-dominated landscape. What was once a decentralized dream has become a centralized system, where infrastructure acquisitions and corporate rules have replaced the open protocols and artist-driven ethos. VC-backed projects have cut off some artists—particularly in sanctioned regions—with the speed of a server reboot. The phrase, “I (V)C what you did there,” calls out the not-so-subtle trends as the space, now “trimmed and suited,” drifts further from its decentralized origins.

The price is based on March 11th, 2021, the day an NFT sold for $69m. This groundbreaking sale triggered a digital gold rush, drawing in artists, developers, speculators, venture capitalists and opportunists.

From Grass Root to Tie Loot was exhibited in collaboration with LaCollection and OBJKT during the Digital Art Fair Miami 2024.

2025 05 26 PAC Dollar Inflation 1

The Bitcoin Art Gallery will showcase a limited edition print series from The Art of Freedom collective, protesting inflation through the vision of over a dozen Bitcoin artists. The special exhibition will be held at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, NV later this month.

My generative visualization PAC: A Century of Charted Devaluation will be part of this exhibition and charts how the dollar lost value over a century. Each rectangle represents a year and shows the changing slope of inflation, offering a visual timeline of systemic monetary erosion.
