3/ I think artists collecting artists is super cool. It has always happened but will happen more in this field due to the vastly better distribution dynamics.
But being in an auction is kindof fun in its own right, a bit stressful, a bit fun.
4/ I wanted @lphaCentauriKid to have some of that fun, but I obviously did not want to run him out of a piece he wanted.
And if showed up as 6529 would probably terrify everyone.
So what to do?
I spun up an alt-to-my-alt and sent the middle piece in the series to auction
5/ That way he could worry that some anon might jump into his auction, but without me, well, actually jumping into his auction.
He won the first piece, I won the second.
A few days later, the 3rd piece was still outstanding so I picked it up so it wouldn't be lonely
6/ So now we have a win-win-win.
- @lphaCentauriKid has the piece he wanted
- The 6529 Museum has two interesting pieces from the series
- @klepikovadaria series is deservedly sold out
And everyone has a fun story too 🥳

This will be a relatively shorter thread. I do not claim to be an expert on this topic, but there are more projects and more people in DMs on this topic, so wanted to share some initial thoughts
2/ This thread is not directed at established NFT or offchain photographers.
They are fine, going to have massive audiences and distribution and will do very well.
This is for those trying to get established.
3/ Let's start with the general concept that NFTs and their ecosystem (OpenSea, Foundation, SuperRare) give photographers (as with all artists) a vastly vastly better distribution and demand aggregation system.
1/ OK, the Seize The Memes of Production contest winners have been picked. My algorithm was going down the list in chronological order, seeing if I laughed and seeing if I thought the person likely owned the copyright
2/ I am going to post each winner in the thread below. If you are the artist, please confirm in reply that: a) it is your work, b) you release under CC0) and c) your ETH address and 0.10ETH is coming your way.
