Dr. Tina Rivers Ryan

When I had heard that one of our guest speakers was a professional when it comes to NFTs I was instantly interested. To be honest, I did not expect Dr. Ryan to dive into how many people tried to sell NFTs and barely made any money. Knowing the market a little, I knew that you had to join the community and really grind your way to get noticed by the Whales (big crypto/nft holders). 


Even though the chances are extremely slim to make a big sale in NFTs, it brings me back to our first guest speaker, Dina Brodsky. Dina told us that building up a community on IG isn't going to hurt us, it can only help us in so many ways. Similar to NFTs, the stronger your presence, the more exposure you give yourself by putting yourself out there.


I think NFTs and Cryptocurrency is here to stay in the long run but will I be investing all my time and money into it? NFTs, probably not. With the community growing as quickly as it is, the top 1% will continue to grow and make money because a single Whale can single-handedly moon and tank any project. I will be uploading my project to Opensea for the hell of it, as well as IG, to see where it goes.

Lee refers to her "black hole or voids" as a way to bring you into her world of science fiction. The art work below main focus, for me, is the center circular object. I am torn between a part of a spacecraft and the center of a universe that she has created. In my last post, Sean Tucker talked about embracing the shadows and I feel that Bontecou pieces speaks to me in the same way.

Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon

Steal Like An Artist An artist is someone who demands your time and attention, and got it. In that sense, Austin Kleon’s “Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative” is a work of art in the first half. The second half is forgettable and overall, the book had helped me realized a few important ingredients I am missing in my pot.   The first part of the book is a work of art. It is exhilarating to see someone extol the virtue of stealing. I have always felt my works is derivative, and have always tried to come up with some original ideas, unsuccessfully. Reading the first part of the book reassured me of my short comings and renewed my hope for better things to come.   Then the book gets repetitive and most of the latter advices the author had to offer at the end is very mundane and obvious. The latter part of the book resembles any typical self-help book. It feels likes the author had to filled a certain quota of text, like his editor is nagging him to...
