Kicking off this newsletter again but with a broader lens as the NFT market moves very quickly. I will focus on my own personal work/journey as well as some finance, lifestyle, and some AMA ish corner with some other artist in the space.
Creative Corner
It's been a couple months now since i've minted a 1/1 on Eth or Tez. And yeah, market conditions doesn't make it too enticing but mostly i've just been focusing on collecting this bear but also just reassessing where I go with my creative energy. Random thoughts like burning some of my work and thinking of ways to create a bigger universe for my creative outlets.
After some time off on vacation, I finally thought of a project or body of work that I feel will push me in the right direction. And it is making me excited to go out and take pictures and go further into my drawing. It will take some time to launch but I am excited for the collaborations i've locked down and to pursue this. And if it fails, well at least I will still be proud of my work.
Knowledge
Some knowledge I picked up this week that I thought could be useful for people to know. It seems that there is a nuclear power plant in Ukraine currently that is running on back up electricity (as if the situation needed to get worse). The last time this happened was in Japan and it did not end well when the cores could not be cooled.

Another thing I learned today was China actually owns less US debt than Japan (4%). It always seems based on media that China owns more debt from a foreign entity perspective as US Citizens/Funds actually own the bulk of the debt.

NFT Space
In the fast moving web3 space, things that stood out to me this past week was @Driftershoots is getting into film photography. And to be frank, if Drifter shot a picture of his on CineStill800 *insert Antonio Banderas gyf.
Just got back my first roll of film. I am hooked.
Speaking of Drifter, GrailsII revealed and featured Drifter with an epic shot. One that would have been perfect for Cinestill. Regardless, one that is now on my bucket list to own.
13. Dissociation
My other favorite ones from this season are from Luis Ponce #10 and #11 by Alpha Centauri Kid. Which ones are your favorite ones for this season?
Upcoming
Things I am looking forward to this week. Definitely scooping up my WL for "The Climb" by Amatoer and going to see if I can also get some more during the DA drop.
Another drop I am excited for now that I am following Fake Pepes is this drop. It's wild and the pricing doesn't seem too bad. Hoping I can hit on this one but we will see.
