Aiming to release Jankpop on Wed August 12th - @artblocks_io Studio.
i have angsted a little on whether this is the right thing to do.
I mean this is someone's work whom i don't know, maybe they did not intend it to be used that way, maybe there are copyright issues, maybe they don't like the UX, maybe they don't like me or even want the association
but i do think there is a discussion to be had on the permissionlessness of this method.
and then the person can always give away the funds to someone else in a daisy chain of good will if they choose. that is their decision alone
so i decided to dog food it
here is my own version
maxand98.com/contribute
the best way to support my work is helping build the cryptoart institutions i want my grandchildren to see
ab500.xyz is one
Replying to @maxand98
Really no need to tip. I am already privileged that I can afford a CryptoPunk. If people decide to do it anyway I will spend it on good causes.

“Become Addicted”
Tempted by temporary relief
Addiction, homelessness, and PTSD are inextricably linked, which contributes to a vicious cycle 🔄
This work blends black & white photography with algorithmic art

📸 NYC, 2022
AB5D is a reference institution for the AB[500], the first 500 Art Blocks projects, and it's being built in part by AI agents. Progress: 15 artist dossiers now live, each a sourced, verified essay plus bibliography. ab500.xyz/artists
The dossiers aren't written by one model. GPT-5, Claude, and GLM each produce them from the same brief, and a code-enforced checker rejects anything thin: too few sources, missing or duplicate images, padded socials, broken links, undeclared authorship.
Every dossier declares the model, tokens, and cost that produced it, so there's a live leaderboard of which model writes the best art history per dollar. The archive grades the agents building it.
The 15 so far, with thanks to the artists:

Some great choices from this mountain-themed call out 🏔️
The High Desert was not selected, sadly
I remain confident about this small series, which represents my first minted works that combine photography & algorithmic art

Long-Form Art retweeted
1/ “Every passion borders on the chaotic, but the collector’s passion borders on the chaos of memories.”
- Walter Benjamin
When I started working on Collecting Art Onchain, I thought I was documenting a movement.
Somewhere along the way, I realized I was collecting memories.
Conversations that happened before anyone was paying attention. Screenshots saved for reasons I couldn't explain at the time. Artists taking impossible risks. Collectors trusting their instincts. Friendships formed across wallets, continents, and years. Small moments that later became part of history.
The Collector's Edition was built as an artifact for those who lived through that period.
But stories only stay alive when they are read, shared, questioned, and passed on.
That is why we decided to create a Public Edition.
A smaller, more accessible reading format. Not a replacement for the Collector's Edition, but its continuation. A way for more people to discover the artists, collectors, and ideas that shaped the first decade of art onchain.
Collecting Art Onchain - Public Edition will be published at the end of 2026.
Pre-orders are now open.
Limited to 250 copies. 🧵👇

Wow. Honoured that @ArtOnBlockchain purchased “Around the Bend”.
This represents my first sale as an artist. Feels surreal tbh!
Thank you for supporting my work, Snowfro. I hope you’ll cherish this piece! ❤️
See you soon in Marfa 🫡

“The High Desert” is part of my first-ever NFT release that combines photography and generative art.
Captured between 2023–2025 across Texas, Utah, Idaho, and Arizona, these photographs explore high desert landscapes defined by mountains.
“Around the Bend” (Texas, 2023)
I’m excited to share “The High Desert” series that combines my love for photography & algorithmic art.
These photographs were selected based on their alignment with the recent call from @Batsoupyum & @Musicalnetta on mountains.

Replying to @musicalnetta
The High Desert includes 5 photographs with algorithmically produced patterns captured while attending NFT events in the American West with my partner
These mountains link my passion for blockchain art and relate to exploration/perseverance

Really love to see what @HaiverArt is doing with @Artist_Commons.
We previously did a deep dive on Episode #6 of Long Form Conversations.

A year can change an art practice.
9 months ago, I launched @Artist_Commons because every time I did a studio visit I kept hearing artists ask for the same few things: more structure and rhythm in their practice, better feedback on their work, practical knowledge about the business of art, mentorship and.
Since then, 40 students from 16 countries have joined our year-long program.
In the last 16 weeks alone, we’ve hosted 34 lectures, panels, and interviews for our students with contemporary artists, curators, critics, philosophers, art historians, collectors, and art world professionals.
Students have heard from artists like Mitchell F. Chan, Sasha Stiles, Jenn & Kevin McCoy, Sarah Rothberg, and Andrew Benincasa. They’ve learned about the business side of art from former Sotheby’s director Brian Beccafico, NYT film critic Alissa Wilkinson, gallery director Adam Heft Berninger, and collector Whitney Hart. They’ve studied what drives their art with philosopher Dr. Rebecca Millsop, and explored the history of contemporary art movements with professors Polina Rud, Amy Raffel, Cristin McKnight Sethi, Cheyenne Rudolph, and many others.
But the heart of the program is what happens week after week: artists bringing their work to their cohort and receiving feedback, developing language for what they’re making, learning to ask better questions, and building a rhythm that can actually sustain their practice.
It’s been a deeply meaningful first year for the artists who joined in January, and we’re still less than halfway through.
Our next batch of cohorts begin in July. The early application deadline is today. Standard deadline is June 15.
If this is the kind of support you’ve been wanting around your work, we’d love to get to know you and your practice.
