obxium is art onchain since 2018.
I began my cryptoart journey with CounterParty XCP, Bitcoin, and the Rare Pepe Project. I was fortunate to have the scientists approve PEPEGIANT as series 36, card 12. Only 100 were issued and at least 20 are irretrievable due to lost private keys. Current floor price is 10 ETH.
I moved on from XCP and grafittiing up Bitcoin, to emjoi driven pop art released on Ethereum. This was a fun phase punctuated by some of my personal favorite works. This is GLYPHONE released on SuperRare in 2019.
For a little while, I learned to compose and render 3D art. This was a super intense creative period, and I had some really cool collaborations with others. My highest priced sale also occurred during this era.
Brands as art? Sure, why not? My project THERE WILL BE BRANDS captures crypyoart, artists, and others as tokenized parody brand names.
I can add a touch of crashed out whimsy or rage-bait filled fervor to your project to birth a brand from the depths of /dev/null that your customers will never forget.
It is pronounced ob-zee-uhm.
I was fortunate to discover Gavin Andresen's original Bitcoin faucet, and I saved my wallet.dat file on a floppy disk, which I then went on to later lose. I never found the disk or the BTC again, though so I lost interest in blockchain for a few years.
I 100% blame Jason Bailey aka artnome and his early articles on cryptoart. There was also quite literally a podcast named Art on the Blockchain. *boisterous DJ air horn noises*
I started graffitiing up the Bitcoin blockchain through CounterParty (XCP) and Rare Pepes. I created the certified rare PEPEGIANT (series 36, card 12), and was also open to trying many blockchains and platforms after that.
Non, I am 100% Américain.
I can only give thoughts on this topic through the lens of cryptoart, so whether you're referring to the masters of early GAN art like Robby Barrat or Quasimondo, or popular artists who readily adapt it through their journey like Jen Stark, AI art is here and you either adapt to use it in ways that benefit your artistic vision or risk being on the wrong side of history for going against a technological advancement. Yes, the training on artists' outputs sucks, but it happened, these tools are the results, and human artists are using them in ways that still let their artistic voices come through.
Early on in 2018, I created the awesome-cryptoart-list repository on GitHub in the format of an awesome list, and I added hundreds of resources representing early artists, platforms, and more. I eventually moved the list to my GitLab account, where it resides today. I don't maintain the list any longer, but it'd be pretty damned huge now if I did. I also gave the space the term 'blonkchain'.
SYNTHWAVE.
8 L1 chains along with a bunch of L2s.
