Last year, during the bear market, I saw collectors on X (Twitter) telling artists to “just focus on creating”—as if we could ignore the market when sales are our lifeline. Most artists in Web3 don’t have the luxury of creating freely without financial worries. Many of us had to find other income sources—some even turned to trading meme coins just to survive.
This inspired me to create An Artist’s Life—a drop that doesn’t just showcase the creative process but invites collectors to be a part of it.
How It Works
🎨 Phase 1: The Genesis Sketch (Open Edition)
The journey starts here! Collectors of this sketch will have the exclusive chance to submit their input using Transient Labs’ Inscriptions feature. Your thoughts may influence the final masterpiece!

Phase 2: 1/1 Animated Detail Sketches
These unique artworks showcase three evolving phases—from black & white to color studies to refinement. As the collector, you get to "pin" your favorite phase, making it the final state of your piece.

🏆 Phase 3: The Final Masterpiece
After the journey of creation, the final artwork will be released as a 1/1 auction. This piece will embody the insights, evolution, and heart of the entire project.
Why This Matters
This drop is more than just art—it’s a conversation about what it means to be an artist in Web3. It’s a chance for collectors to step into the artist’s world and experience the challenges, decisions, and evolution behind a piece.
