🚨 Talent isn’t what keeps artists alive.

Networks are.

Great art means little if no one ever sees it.

🧵 How to build the kind of network that lasts 👇 1/
A real network isn’t your follower count.
It’s the circle of people who help your art travel,
who mention you in rooms you’re not in,
who introduce you to others,
who believe in your work when you’re not trending.

“STOP AI ART”

- image and poem are raw AI (no human post processing)
- 1 per wallet

See link and poem in the comments 👇 Scared artists fear the rise of AI
They worry that their skills will be surpassed
But try as they might, they cannot halt the tide
Of progress that has already been cast
For AI is a force to be reckoned with
It’s creation are uniquely its own

AI-assisted Art

A thread with my personal opinion about AI & also trying to take some concerns into account.

In every tweet I will showcase some great pieces to show how diverse, unique & beautiful AI-assisted Art can be.🧵

“STOP AI ART” by me,
Raw AI So let’s start with the most important question: Are works created with AI really Art?

My answer: it depends. In general, of course it can be Art. The medium that is used to create Art is secondary. 1/21

An essay about UnknownCollector written by AI

The art world was in a state of decline. For years, it had been dominated by the same few names, the same tired styles, the same bland visions. Creativity and innovation seemed to have been lost, replaced by a dull conformity. 1/6 But then, out of nowhere, a new voice emerged. A voice that was passionate and knowledgeable, that spoke to the hearts and minds of the people. A voice that shook the foundations of the art world and sparked a revolution.

“Twitter” by AI

Twitter, oh Twitter
How you once brought me joy
With your tweets and retweets
And the friends I'd employ

But now you bring me sorrow
With your constant chatter
And the way you make me feel
Smaller and madder

1/4 You fill my mind with noise
And leave me feeling drained
You're a never-ending cycle
Of stress and strain

I try to take a break
But you keep calling out
And before I know it
I'm scrolling, scrolling, scrolling
Without a doubt

These days I’m realizing again why I feel it is so important that I’m playing this “influencing game” (= being vocal as a collector). Social media is exhausting & frustrating if you give yourself in too much but it’s the reality of most of the artists here that have to do it 1/8 so they automatically get in contact with the most vocal accounts which often aren’t the ones that building the culture from the start with good values but bad actors taking advantage of the hopes and dreams of artists. I can understand if collectors have better 2/8

UnknownTalks: “selling physical artworks as NFTs”

A thread 🧵👇 DISCLAIMER: this is still a highly discussed topic and here you will simply find my personal opinion and how I normally operate. It’s no truth and I would love to hear other opinions.

DIGITAL ART CURATED

Finally the ultimate curated thread (of this round) of digital art resulting from my first art-share thread some time ago.

Here my favorite submission of digital art without theme and ranking. 🧵👇 Thanks a lot to the fantastic team precurating this beautiful art for me @ayepixelart @8r122 @_dark_ghoul @ande_erik @Tropical_Jewel @NoortjeStorteld @johnkarborn

The art of staying inside the NFT art space as an artist

I see many people leaving or at least doubting their engagement inside the NFT space. What is imo necessary to overcome these struggles? 🧵👇 Disclaimer: this is my personal opinion. It’s not the truth or has more value than any other opinion. Please let me know what’s really on your mind. There is no need to say yes to everything. I won’t judge and still respect you.

SCAPES CURATED

This is the 4th curated thread resulting from my first art share thread

Here I will show you my favorite submitted works around the theme of scapes 🧵👇 Curators for photography: @michaelboegl @MAmurvelashvili @gulyildizart @AthosKayEf @mich_viljoen Thanks to all my curators for your help to preselect the photos! (1/7)

PORTRAITS CURATED

The 3rd curated thread from my art-share thread some time ago.

Here you can find my favorite portraits (in the wider sense) that were submitted 🧵👇 Curators for photography: @michaelboegl @MAmurvelashvili @gulyildizart @AthosKayEf @mich_viljoen Thanks to all my curators for your help to preselect the photos! (1/11)

A thread about my mental health journey 👇 I was thinking how to address the topic mental health because it’s so complex and million factors can be important. Everyone has different needs and problems, there is no blue print for good mental health. So I will describe my personal mental game-changers. (1/24)

My opinion about “collectors with bad taste” and “artworks as NFTs are mostly ugly jpegs” 👇 People complaining about collectors not having the eye and taste for good high quality art in web3 at this point are overseeing the importance of exactly that. We need brave crypto native kind of degen art collectors that get this thing going, that keep this space alive (1/10)

The art of understanding toxic positivity in the NFT art space 👇 We all know what positivity and negativity is. And most are aware of the harmful effects of extreme negativity but only a few are realizing that extreme positivity also can be very harmful to a persons mental health. (1/15)

I’m happy we start to have a conversation about a healthy relationship between artist and collector. What can’t happen is to get offended by everything a collector is saying about what they think are useful advices for artist. We should learn from each other (1/11) and to cut off that bond isn’t a solution. I talked with a very great collector that he got so much backlash on a simple commentary that he got discouraged to talk about it more. Another example is the thread of @techbubble about how artist should celebrate (2/11)

How to build a solid base to establish yourself in the NFT space as an artist? 👇 The most important is to be creative, to think about your actions and how you present yourself. Try to be conscious! Have ideas and don’t just follow the masses. My suggestions that can hopefully help: (1/12)

“Why can they block countries if we are in the decentralized web3?” I have the feeling we need some clarification and information on the topic 👇 Before I start: excuse any mistakes I don’t have a deep technical understanding, I try to hand out basic theoretical information to onboard more people to NFTs (1/7)

What are good alternatives to metamask for our Iranian friends? And how can they transfer their nfts away from Opensea without using metamask? Some other explanations here 👇(1/4) Your eth or nfts are not lost, they didn’t steal from you, they just blocked their services for your country (which is horrible enough) but your eth and nfts are still stored on the eth blockchain, they can’t “delete” them.
