Inspired by anime and mech, but done up in 3D gamer style... these guys are badasses.

For now, this collection will only be available on AreaX NFT site and sold in TELOS.  For those who don't know $TLOS and don't want to bother with swapping... the next minting will be multichain and on OpenSea.  #NFT #TELOS #Blockchain #Angels

Digital Art - NFT & Me

 My Art...

As many of you know.  I have been into visual art for a long time.  I didn't always have time for it, and it took a backseat to music production, international DJing, and, of course, Water Charity.  But I never gave it up.  I switched to mostly digital artwork a long time ago... I did fractals, flames, 3D recursive stuff, AI and more.  It relaxes me, so I crank them out.  

I will share a few pieces here, but the real push for me now is minting these pieces as NFTs.

I won't get into what NFTs are here.  Just think of it as crypto-blockchain provenance for digital art.  If that only confused you further... talk to me and I will sort you out.

Mostly this just means that people can buy and trade (and retrade ad infinitum) artwork as a digital commodity.  Ask me about all of this in 6 months.  Meanwhile, enjoy this "drop."

Best We Can Do?

The Best We Can Do?

Are we doing the best we can?

Has anyone... ever?

If you know me, and some of you do, you may have heard me go off on this topic before.  But it keeps coming up and is worth exploring.

Let me elucidate.

Healing

“As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.” 

― Martin Luther King Jr.

“Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.” 

― Alan Wilson Watts

What does it mean to be healthy?

A No Party System

The 2 party system is ridiculous.  

Gratitude

Gratitude is not a feeling reserved for certain times of year... or when someone gives you what you want.

Gratitude is a constant recognition that you should have at ALL times.  Every single aspect of our lives is a gift.

Acceleration

Change in Velocity divided by Duration (Change in Time)

Acceleration noun
    əkˌseləˈreɪʃn
1  an increase in how fast something happens
2  the rate at which a vehicle increases speed
3  the rate at which the velocity (= speed in a particular direction) of an object changes


I am certainly not alone in noticing that this year has been mind-blowing. If you, reading this, have not experienced this frenetic sense of change coupled with a consistent, unrelenting pressure from both inner and external alchemical processes... pressure which has driven a good number of people to the brink of losing their minds, and resulted in a reality that seems absurd to the point of ridiculousness most of the time (when you're not too overwhelmed with the process to pay attention), I don't know if we live on the same planet.  :-)

It is not just that things are moving quickly.  Things have been moving quickly.  Things are accelerating.

March To Sanity

This post was written in March, and should have been "published" at that time. Naturally, it was far more timely back during March Madness, and while the current events mentioned were... well, current.  People are still crazy though, and this is worth reading  😎  :

March To Sanity

Times have gotten rather strange of late.

The level of absurdity has reached dream levels.

Autumn & Wasting Time

Third (& final) Installment of my Autumn & Time postings...

The final weeks of Autumn are falling away.

We made it through the "super" Super Moon, the interminable elections, and a dozen other inexplicable and seemingly endless things.

The days are getting really short, and time seems more fleeting and precious than ever.  With so few hours of sunlight, we tend to become aware of the ease with which Time is WASTED.

Somehow, there never seems to be enough time.
