Welcome! :3

If you are here right now more than likely you are a Twitter crypto artist denizen who has heard me, @maxcapacity and probably many other shouting about Tumblr on Twitter. Why Tumblr? It is part nostalgia, part necromancy, part homage to the the Web3 greats who spent years here (some are still here), part rebellion, and part reminding artists to come together to help each other.

Twitter heavily favors text base tweets - it's just a fact. Here is not the case. Many of us are also maybe a little jaded on what is happening overall and feel ignored as artists. Discord is full of scams, twitter group chats are cliquey, but here we are free to roam, explore each others works, and create a visual digital identity we want to present.

Come play with us and remember why we are all here! For the art, to make friends, express ourselves, have a good time and build a better future for artists. Yes we all want to sell work too ofc - we have physical bodies to take care of and bills to pay - but what if we share with each other our wins and how we got them, and our failures and what we learned from them as artists so when we go back to the rest of the internet hellscape we can find more success? At the very least, make some friends here or rekindle connects that may have been lost to not feel so alone. For some of you this is a trip down memory lane, for others you have never been here before. Old or new a like I encourage you to check out who I am following to get started finding each other.

This isn't rocket science - if you can understand blockchain web3 stuff, I have faith you can understand this old beast of a social network. Love you all ~~~ <3

P.S. I'm writing this for specific purposes of a pinned post. It feels so good to be able to write more than 150 characters. Also here are multi gifs side by side -- for the culture.

EDIT: Because I can edit and also adding this - for the culture 🫡🚫

~We are here to focus on the art and building up artists and to build an open, non hierarchal structure to provide mutual support for each other while showcasing the hard work and dope art crypto artists do to try to shape the landscape of web3 to be more artist friendly for ALL artists from diverse backgrounds. ~ Here are some guidelines to foster a healthy community growth:

~ NO SHILL POST/ART SHARE POSTS - why? we want the focus to go back on the artist and deep thoughts, not engagement farming. Shilling/art share is a viable way on twitter to get your art out there because of how the social media is structured. Here - content is the focus. You can discover new artists a multitude of ways including searching hashtags, looking through your fav artists feed of who they are sharing or following, and generally just wandering around.

~ INDEPENDENT ARTIST FOCUS - 10k pfp projects are a part of the nft ecosystem, and thrive on twitter, but here we want to again have the focus stay on independent artists. A basic issue with these projects is to access a lot of their communities they are token gated, and a lot of artists just can't afford them. Also many feel we are drowning in the noise of a lot of the politics and drama that goes on between projects, and need a place again to share ourselves with each other for feedback, support and overall good times.

~ REPORT AND BLOCK THE HATERS / KILL WITH KIDNESS- anywhere on the internet hate is prevalent for lots of different reasons related to our content and not. Bullies are cowards, and to bully someone for a technology they use is boring. Tumblr also does not tolerate hate and harassment in any form. Maybe someone is having a bad day and if able extend kindness. For extreme comments, report them. For continual harassers, block them. This is your space to curate how you wish. We deserve to be here as artists as anyone else, and hope to on top of supporting each other showcase our dope af work we are doing within the crypto art ecosystems to show we aren't all scammers, just artists trying to build a better future.

A New Kind of King

Another work minted for hen reunion. I’ll tell ya one thing…. It’s really nice to post work on tumbler and not have to be on twitter all the time. That place legit steals my brain cells.

real human! real photo! real p5.js! real photoshop! real audio! real after effects render! totally unreal that i'm using this biological mass of a meat vessel that is slowly decaying on its way to inevitably becoming a compostable food source for some other organic lifeform on this rock hurtling through outer space at completely unreasonable speeds around a fucking constantly burning gaseous ball of flame in the depths of space, to express a tiny facet of human experience in 25 seconds.

er, nft drop tomorrow or something at makerplace weee

hello Tumblr.

i'm Alex, and I am a 3D artist and photographer. I have never had a Tumblr before, heck I even struggled with Twitter when I first started nfts.

After seeing the movement started by @theempresstrash & @maxcapacity alongside the influence of friends in the crypto artist scene (mainly @greycreates) telling me to hop on knowing that I will enjoy a quieter scene as compared to the buzzling side of things on twitter, I knew I had to come onboard.

so I am very excited to be apart of this takeover and I do hope we all get to bond over art and genuine connections while we embrace the slower side of things here. :)

Duality

I turn to you like a flower turns to the sun

The CC0llector. The edit and the original. Lining up all those gifs was fun 😂

What's the vibe like here?

Hey Tumblr! Infinitely long time, no see! As my first text post here I just wanna...you know... get the vibe of this place. Coming from Twitter, we've all been faced with the constant "BE POSITIVE OR OUR FUCKING ALGORITHM WILL DESTROY YOU" which has created a culture of toxic positivity and TBH, I've been having a pretty shitty year. I WANT to be able to vent somewhere about all the shit that's getting me down and no be shadowbanned for having an emotion other than rapturous happiness! As anybody who has ever met me would tell you, I'm a very positive person IRL, I'm helpful, positive and kind, that's why I make such dark art, it's a release, it's thereputic and honestly, I need to let this shit out otherwise that me that my friends know and loves... dies. So basically I'm just gonna see how this space goes to see if the community is responsive to the me that isn't so... happy. So... lemme know what you think.

Here's an art.

Since I can post multi gifs here is a story in 4 parts. Should I mint them or nah?
