The Confused Optimist
I’m excited to announce the upcoming release of ‘The Harbinger’ phygital prints. Initial availability will be through the XRPL and FLR:
XRP Marketplace: xrpcafe
FLR Marketplace: SparklesNFT
It’s been a really long road, with a massive 3rd party obstacle that put the release to a halt for 3 months. I wanted to release way back in end of November. So that has been frustrating and economically damaging.
And despite spending a lot of money on prints & paintings to ensure that my NFTs are backed by physical assets prior to release and being basically broke I’m still here like an absolute madman.
My girlfriend keeps telling me why I don’t target audiences outside of crypto. My gut makes me continue on, but logically at times my head doesn’t feel aligned.
I’m kind of addicted to the newness of everything. I like the excitement and the communities.
But I do find myself extremely confused at times. When communities call for usage of a blockchain. To build, to use it in order to give it value etc. To see big influencers (300k – 1M followers) say that digital art is the future of NFTs. And yet, when I put out (legit no ego here, but honestly what I believe is my best work to date) artwork and costly prints that are unique in the printing technique I get less than 5 likes. However, it’s ok!
I’m not crying about it. I’m simply confused. I know that I have been gaining subscribers through my website, and that to me is a more accurate sign of interest.
I remain an optimist. A confused one! But an optimist nonetheless.
The Harbinger LTD ED Phygital Prints are going to go live soon!
