Lotus Blooms + RGBMTL Curator Debut + Emporium Printify Launch + GBM Update

BUSY WEEK ~!

Lotus Blooms


Lotus Blooms is now live on LunaLauncher and sitting right on the front page. It is a limited 13-edition ordinal paired with a physical print. I created the piece with Grok helping on the initial direction and then hand-painted the final version in Procreate while staying deep in Voluptechne themes. You mint the ordinal and can claim for extra the matching physical print at the same time. These will be the only physical prints that ever exist for this work.

Lotus Blooms

It feels good to have something new out in the world that lives on Bitcoin and in real space at once.

RGBMTL


I have been sitting on this one for a while and I am still a little stunned. I have been invited to both curate and exhibit at RGBMTL this year for the first time. RGBMTL is the Montréal nonprofit collective built on the idea of artists curating artists. Every year they gather a big group of creators for a free public exhibition of digital and blockchain work at the end of August. The 2026 edition is the fifth and runs August 28–29 in Montreal coinciding at the same time as Mutek. It is open to everyone.

I am also building the full virtual side of the event in Decentraland. I have been spending more and more time in world lately and it already feels like a second home, so extending the exhibition there so people who cannot travel to Montréal can still experience it just made sense. I am really looking forward to seeing what we can make together in that space.

For artists interested in exhbiting the open call is live right now with a deadline of June 15. Anyone can submit at rgbmtl.com/submissions.php.

The Emporium

The Printify pop-up shop is now live at emporium.empresstrash.com. I have been wanting to get more physical pieces out into the world for a long time and this felt like the right moment. The new 2026 collection is up with glitch art, iridescent details, and all the little chaotic kawaii things I love. It is nice to finally have a proper shop where people can grab something tangible that carries the same energy as the digital work.

GBM


Last week I deployed my own custom auction house on Ethereum mainnet through the GBM protocol. The first round just settled and every piece found a home. Thank you to everyone who bid and congratulations to the winners. It was a good first test and I am already thinking about what comes next.


This week has been full in the best way. New drops, new roles, new physical work, and new on-chain experiments all landing at once. I am grateful for all of it and for everyone who continues to show up and support the weird little multiverse I keep building.

I hope to see some of you in Decentraland soon.
