Cusp of Rebirth V1 Reveal

This year for my birthday I decided to start a new tradition to break my birthday curse once and for all in which I create an open call for art to put together a Metaverse gallery and party. The theme of this open call I decided should be centered around the astrological themes of my birthday ~ Cusp of Rebirth. Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, and Aries the first, so the transition period of March 17th - 23rd is referred to as the Cusp of Rebirth. All Zodiac signs inbetweens have cusps....

Flesh and Metal

I have been staring at this new piece that I created with Grok for hours now, her curves melting into that iridescent chrome exoskeleton while space cracks open like a glitchy orgasm all around them.

THE BIRTH OF DAMSELS

Originally written in July 2023 for a virtual gallery build on Oncyber with the Line project showcasing Damsels. Copied unedited for posterity. As an artist, I’ve always been fascinated by the human form, and it has been a consistent theme of mine through my trad art and crypto art career. Before Damsels the series, there were a lot of PROTO DAMSELS with my first works on OpenSea in Spring 2021, which I digitized, then glitched out of them. I’m still really proud of this series because it was...
