Don’t follow me, follow your intuition.

There will be no followers on my platform.

I am making a site by and for artists, aspirants, and investors to meet, create, manage, and finance creative team projects and share/buy/sell artwork.

I envision a healthy world as that where people can work creatively unfettered without fear and to make that experience more accessible, easier, and prosperous for more people. What would you do if you allowed yourself the permission to create?

Let’s leave behind the feudalistic model of celebrity where capital is accumulated and concentrated in a few individuals for ease of financial management. Blockchain opens up technological doors to eliminate gatekeepers, to reduce the use of lawyers, agents and other sources of friction, but will it happen? Let’s create that model without the controllers.

I love my privacy, my anonymity, I cherish it actually, but am willing to sacrifice it for this project to be of service to the blessings of the creative act.

What I am reading now: Own It (D. von Furstenberg), Voices from the Valley (Tarnoff and Weigel), Year of the Monkey (P. Smith), Venture Deals (Feld and Mendelson)

Fav song of the moment: Clap! Clap! - Ode to the Pleiades - (Black Acre)
