Music NFTs are flourishing [primer here if you have no idea what this means] Music as a genre is severely under-monetised with artists capturing piddling portions of the value they create. This twitter thread captures an indication as to why this is so important in continuing to inspire development, growth, and progression of such a pivotal aspect of our lives. Gaming is a $130bn industry - this drives investment and innovation to the space at an incredible pace. The music industry is current...

As the clock ticks down to the start of my next Bright Moments experience, wherever or whenever that might be, I can’t help but think it will be filled with wonder. With so much creative firepower that seems pretty much a given! Such is the level of doe-eyed fondness and respect they’ve built with me over the course of just four very special interactions. Rather incredible considering this is a collective I only heard about just over a month ago at the Proof Of People NFT festival. Then, as n...

Our mission to release art across blockchains got underway with a custom visual series on tezos called narcissus (collectors received a poetry book airdrop), however got shortly put on hiatus given:The complexities of trustlessly enforcing splitsA seeming marketwide backtrack on NFT royalties: respected by some marketplaces but not others - to the benefit of tr...

Album: Legacy Song: fed up Art: Flourish Team: anatu, Yin, shoshin, Papa I’m Fed Up! And this is my therapy. What a gift and honour to have this medium to share the maelstrom of emotions we encounter through art. Here we go again with another written homage to the music we so love to make. This time it is centred around the third song in the Legacy album “fed up” which isn’t actually in sequential order from the last post but you don’t mind - do you? The Legacy album is the second by me - Pap...

The human brain is capable of remembering 7 items, plus or minus 2 on average. Domain names serve a crucial function as mnemonics for our highly volatile short memories to retain. Heuristics (shortcuts) like the teledotcom [e.g. 1–800-FLOWERS] are game-changers as easily memorable means of resolving intricate number strings into usable formats.
