Rare Dinner with MakersPlace

On a recent trip to San Francisco, I had the honor of sharing a meal with the core team of MakersPlace. They are an incredibly wise team running a very easy to use marketplace for rare digital art; in fact they might be the most user friendly of them all, since art collectors can purchase digital art using a credit card or Ethereum. Plus their minimal gallery design helps collectors focus solely on the art--without any unnecessary bells and whistles.

Throughout this special night, the food, co...

As a new ecosystem to release, catalog, sell and collect digital art, the growing field of rare digital art is fascinating for a number of reasons. For the first time ever, digital art can be coded to be entirely rare, sales could happen instantly and internationally through new monetary sy...

Tokenization: The Final Frontier

This animated sci-fi image will soon be available as rare digital art on the Grand pixEOS Art Gallery. I drew it first as a quick sketch on my big old Samsung Galaxy Note 3. That's an over-sized phone that came with stylus and I have used it as a mini drawing pad reliably for almost 6 years. It seems fitting that a somewhat space-age handheld device was used to create this art inspired by space-age classic science fiction themes. Old shows such as Star Trek and others have become famous for i...

Global Art Market Data and It's Relation to Rare Digital Art

This rare digital art, which can be purchased on MakersPlace, is titled "Big Appetite for Nuts."
Perhaps you can guess why? As a long time cartoonist, it is hard to resist making lighthearted jokes about the art experience. Such things can be seen in this satirical comic about the art market. It is a cartoon also influenced by my real life appreciation for nuts. I eat them every day.

While poking fun at the art market is pretty easy, this sector is actually no laughing matter; it's big business...

Women in Blockchain in Pixels

I started drawing this art on the pixEOS Paint app, with a concept in mind to depict a respectful view of women in the blockchain space. I continue to have a good deal of artistic gaming fun using pixEOS Paint. If a person took a community graffiti wall, MS Paint, digital real estate, gambling, cryptocurrency, and put them all in an online blender, the result would be pixEOS Paint--no joke.
While I felt that the still image of these women was pretty cool, I chose to experiment further. After a...

My Animated Friend Edgar

I made an animated portrait of my very talented friend Edgar Arceneaux. This digital painting originated while I sat in on an artist talk he was giving to a class of young art students in Southern California. Edgar is a fellow family man, artist, dad, and teacher. I am so grateful for our friendship!

This piece has been issued as rare digital art on MakersPlace. There it can be purchased using Ethereum or a credit card. It is a crypto collectible item with only 50 limited editions available.

How to Become a Crypto Artist

It started as a simple black and white ink drawing on this ancient flat stuff called paper. Then what began as a quick sketch from life of my son (drawn in typical Silly Daddy Comic style) was revised and meticulously ran through a number of space-age computers. So now this creation has become a full color educational piece of rare digital art, showing the world the secrets of blockchain success. Viewers of this fine artwork can now discover exactly how anyone--with hardly any skills whatsoev...
