Daily drawing post
I’m going to do a daily drawing and blog post. This will be a continuation of what I started previously. I’m also going to try to generate a paper version of everything I do. This is because I no longer trust the digital world to preserve anything.
Crystallization
“Leave the mind of a lover to its natural movements for twenty-four hours, and this is what you will find. At the salt mines of Salzburg a branch stripped of its leaves by winter is thrown into the abandoned depths of the mine; taken out two or three months later it is covered with brilliant crystals; the smallest twigs, those no stouter than the leg of a sparrow, are arrayed with an infinity of sparkling, dazzling diamonds; it is impossible to recognise the original branch.”
— On Love by Stendhal
Perhaps I need a sockpuppet
Perhaps I need a sockpuppet. I could work him with my left hand and he would follow me around and sing praise whenever I open my mouth or post something online. I can’t shower *myself* with praise. No way! That would be gross. But a good sockpuppet? No one will know it’s me. And everyone will hear all the great things he says about me and will join right in. More and more people will pile on. The likes and hearts and follows will explode. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll be propelled to the winner-take-all circle! Yes! That’s it, a sockpuppet.
The Eagle & the Serpent NFT
This is now a Non-fungible Token (NFT) of an acrylic on canvas painting I created that was stolen from me in 1984. The original has not been recovered. This digital image is a copy of a photograph made before the theft, and I have edited and improved it myself with Photoshop, making the digital image unique. It has been stored on IPFS at ipfs/QmTgVWECtoYgLZj7m59LKgGST8sfqUdJ2Y9tJuGBPxfwDf/image.jpeg. The NFT was recorded on Ethereum at transaction 0x2b6559731eb9a4773af23aaf18de4743c20ee1be90c7e11c1489d13e2934ad77. The Rarible contract is 0x60f80121c31a0d46b5279700f9df786054aa5ee5 and the token ID is 966576.
