hi

LANDINGS: CHRYSOPOEIA

transit this again,

scribbling a hard point

into the amaranth of everything

you want to build sextants

you want to herd bridges into the sea

the houses you haven’t been in yet

surround you still

One thing I tell artists a lot is it’s important to sustain and have any sort of success without completely loosing our mind is to separate out ART BUSINESS vs ART CREATION.

Our sense of self worth needs to be gained through the fact we create otherwise our moods and will to create will ebb and flow with sales which a lot of times is something out of our control. Again a common trait I see in most successful artists is to be able to separate these two.

What I think I see happening here and forming here in a social scale or at least ideally would like to see is:

Twitter = Art Business

Tumblr = Art Creation

This isn’t to say there isn’t overlaps, or not to use this robust features of here to link your work but I think this is a clear boundary to try to hold. Does it feed us as artists? If not, don’t give it attention so it can’t grow.

In traditional art market, when I’m in my studio creating or co-creating with friends, I don’t have random reply guys, shills, engagement farms, tell me your favorite xyz artist, show me your work and all that other stuff going on.

Cignaroli. (1/1) is the genesis mint of my new collection Pareidolia. A surreal collection of work using AI, inspired by great artists in the public domain. In this case Giambettino Cignaroli, no other artists were used in any prompting.

pareidolia (noun): the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern

Can you see why this is the name of the collection? Here is a hint.
