Art has to come from somewhere to go somewhere.

The truth is, the work that truly matters happens when no one is looking—it comes from the layers behind the smile and social media posts.

The unseen work that happens every day is what matters.

To create meaningful works of Art,
you have to live a meaningful life.

See, life as an Artist isn’t just about what you create—it’s about who you become in the process.

Just because you are tired, doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

Let’s be real—hustling, grinding, and showing up day after day is exhausting.

But tiredness is not failure—it’s feedback.

It’s a signal from your body and mind that you’re stretching, growing, and moving closer to something different.

Think about it.

Success isn’t found in the moments when everything feels easy.

It’s built in the times when you’re struggling to keep going despite the weight on your shoulders.

The truth is, feeling tired means you’re in the fight. You’re showing up. You’re doing the work. And sometimes, that’s enough.

Success isn’t about being unshakeable—it’s about resilience. It’s about honoring your effort, even when the results haven’t shown up yet.

So if you’re tired, take a moment. Rest, recalibrate, and get back to it.

The real failure? That’s in giving up when it gets tough.
And you’re tougher than you think.
We are all multifaceted beings.

Often, people latch onto the version of us they find most convenient or familiar,

and when we reveal the other dimensions of who we are, it disrupts their expectations.

But that discomfort isn’t ours to manage—don’t take how others respond as the standard of your worth.. it’s a reflection of their limited views of you.

Embracing our complexity is a quiet rebellion against being boxed in and a declaration of our right to be multidimensional and complex humans.

One of my first ai iterations from 2021

Like every child with a new toy, I was testing the limits on what it would let me do... 😏😏😏

@delta_sauce @0xMLow and @MutagenSamurai got me reminiscing on the last few years of creative growth the tech and I have had...

🛫I sold everything to chase a dream.
No plan. No guarantees.

Just a camera and the belief that Art can change how we see the world.

Terra Nova: Genesis began in 2019 - with the question:

Can photography reconnect us to the planet we’re losing touch with?

To answer it, I traveled to the furthest parts of the Earth—places few have seen, to capture things that might not exist tomorrow.

As Yoko Ono said: “Art is a way of survival.”

Terra Nova isn’t just art—it’s action.
This is Art that gives back.

For each image helps fund conservation work and education programs to bring the outside world in.

If I can inspire even just one person to see things differently, to connect with the natural world in a deeper way,

then it’s all worth it.

I have a dream to make high end Black Silk Hoodies, with vibrant splashes of colors inspired by my travels.

Silk because it's not bulky
Black because it's sexy

How do I make this happen?
My last moment on @Remx_xyz for a week.

It's a work in progress on an experimental series based on my travels in Asia this year.

tips are appreciated :)

The trees show us how beautiful it is to let things go.

GM gm frens!

In case no one told you today,
It’s time to start living the life you've always imagined.

In 2019, I was sitting in a dark cubicle with my supervisor telling me to stick to the script instead of talking to clients like a human... and it hit me:

I wasn’t climbing the corporate ladder to success —I was running on a treadmill in the trenches.

Here's the hard truth they don't want you to know:

Life isn’t about following someone else’s roadmap;
it’s about creating your own.
I got brutally bullied on the internet for this image.
It almost made me quit photography it got so bad.

Granted, it IS a horrible composite,
but in my defense I was a newbie, experimenting in photoshop on how to take a day shot to become a night shot.

At the time I was super excited by the result.
Now I cringe every time I look at it.

Maybe because it brings flashbacks of those internet trolls who didn’t care that I was doing the best I could with the skills I had.

It’s funny how quickly we forget that every successful person was once a beginner.

“In order to write about life, first you must live it.” —Hemingway

It’s the same with art. To create meaningful works of art, first I must experience this thing called life.

What an incredible time I’ve had with all of you today! Huge thanks to @bigdegenenergy.eth and the moderators for making this channel welcoming and fun💜

This space is more than just a community; it’s family.

I hope you’ll continue to join me on this journey by giving me a follow

But only if you’re into travel, photography, art, motivation, or building your creative business. 😉

Seriously, I wish I had more time to share about my love for penguins, snow, and food! 🥴

🥸 Like an onion, I have a lot of layers to my artistry. From my books on thriving as an artist to my talks at crypto events, I love to talk and engage with people over ideas and passions.

Thank you for making today so special 💋

Would you hike 20km to see this?

On 2 out of 8 trips to Iceland, I was able to see a volcano eruption!

Iceland is known as the land of 🔥 and ❄️
And what’s awful but also great is that these eruptions are not at the top of a mountain, they have been between mountains so it makes getting to them “safer”

There have been 11 eruptions in the past two years and although most of them aren’t safe for tourists, and have wrecked an entire village and is currently flowing over the infamous Blue Lagoon parking lot- this one in the video is from in 2022/2023

Thank god for the 7x camera on the DJI Pro 3 drone.

I was NOT close to that hotness 🥴😅
As I hope you all have noticed today, I really love the outdoors and exploring new places😅

This is a song I wrote about my life as a wandering artist

- you can see old pics of me before travel, and some of the places I have been to since quitting the office life in 2019

I have 4 free editions on Shape that represented the four elements that have shaped our world and my art career.

Whichever one has the most mints will determine where I go next in the world

It’s 3am here so what better time to do an AMA!

Ask me anything - I will respond to all questions 💋

A pic I took in Iceland, one of my favorite countries in the world.

I have been there 8 times, in all seasons.
Could probably cast 20 more posts about Iceland and not scratch my love for it, but I am just going to tease a few more today. 😎
I have been posting a lot of videos - but my forte is photographs 😅

For me, life isn’t about chasing money; if it were, I wouldn’t have chosen to be an artist. My career is about living a meaningful and extraordinary life, and a big part of living meaningful is giving back.

Proceeds from my collections have supported conservation projects worldwide.

This year, sales funded a documentary expedition to uncover the story of one of the planet’s most elusive creatures. It’s a project we’ll be sharing with schools, educational programs, and a masterclass to inspire the next generation.

Another example? My recent collection of 54 1/1s, which completely sold out, helped combat deforestation through One Tree—a cause close to my heart, especially given what I’ve witnessed firsthand on my travels.

Every location I visit has its own story.

Through the photos I create and sell, I can share those stories to generate the funds needed to write the next chapter.
