Which honestly makes a great deal of sense if you consider graphic design and visual choices in general, as expressions of ones underlying core values. AI generated imageries tendency to appear far grander and deeper at a glance than it is on close inspection, is an apt metaphor for the way fascist governments and groups present and conduct themselves. The choice of a medium with an outsized demand on resources compared with its end result, and an end result which is a facsim

No, not the "its 2026 and the rise of fascism has caused me to abuse substances" kind of breakdown (well okay, a bit of that kind). No, today I thought I'd write about my own work, providing both a technical and conceptual breakdown of the main processes I go through in creating a piece. So, lets make like a KOL in front of a pile of snow, and dive in. It starts with an idea, as simplistic and self evident as that sounds. Now sometimes theres only the kernel of an idea, som

Im sure many of you will know the term 'Easter Egg'. It is the name given to hidden messages, motifs, or even features in media, most commonly found in video games. This usage of the term was coined by Steve Wright, an Atari director in the 80s. But this moment of phrasing isn't the interesting part of the story. The interesting part is why Atari directors suddenly felt the need to to address, name, and define the presence of these hidden inclusions. You see, company policy a

Genuinely I had thought this discussion would long be over by now. 4 years ago most artists I spoke with already viewed the chain as secondary to the art. We made our choices based on accessibility, if the UX met our needs, not cultish allegiance. Yet it seems many of the “leading” curators/collectors in our space are still unable to fathom the idea of collecting art for the arts own sake. They simple will not take the time to explore, to talk to those who operate in differen

They will feed you an endless stream of effigies to keep the bonfires lit, just so they might sap the heat from you and it, for profit. I’d implore you to seriously look at the level of discourse that occurs nearly on everywhere online, but at this point you either must have seen it, or you aren’t the type of person to read a several paragraph post. The intensity of the vitriol poured out over the smallest thing. Reactionary outcries based on headlines not articles, a complet

Recently my feeds been awful, i mean more awful than it usually has been in the years since Cuck Rat took over. Now im not talking about the live streamed genocides and battlefields, that's awful but its an awful truth that bares witnessing. Im talking about all the other slop, such a ferocious tide of it that it seems to have swept aside near every bit of actual human creation and thought that we once enjoyed so thoroughly here. I know, i know "train your feed" and I had don

No post production VFX or AI models are needed to fool us, and despite all our self assured statements about how "we can always tell what's real" our egos cannot alter the path of light to our eyes. The moment our world is captured by a single lens it is translated in to 2 dimensions, and in that transformation our ability to tell what is real falters. This is because we rely on binocular vision to most accurately determine depth, the differing position between our two pupils

Wanna know how I know? Because you're on social media, and in 2025 it is nigh on impossible to partake in this particular online landscape without being surrounded by an abundance of these people. Now ill soften here and say not all of them are "cants" in fact this degradation of our online spaces has been ongoing for so long now that a number of them were simply born in to it. They're told and observe this is the path to success in this space, to approval. The morality, the

So I took a look over some of our "leading Light" accounts in the crypto art space. I scrolled back a few weeks, a month or 2 maybe, on each of them, and you know what I saw? Not a single post talking about the actual art. Oh sure there were threads describing artists rises (as documented by their first and last sales). There were "get to know this artist" articles, which may as well have been a plot graph of past sales decorated by the odd platitude. Exclamations of the art

We've all seen this, a stunningly rendered movie monster fills the screen, that shot cuts to the next where the actor stumbles back.... and it feels at total odds with the scene in which its placed, the cables on which you suspended you disbelief snap. In all honesty I could write this post on any from a huge list of films released in the last decade, but in this instance our case study be Jurassic World: Rebirth. (Partly because I've seen it recently), pertinently due to the
