The internet has changed and blogs are largely dead as old timers like me think of them – places where you could post an idea or thought or photo and then have conversations about it with strangers who would possibly become friends. This blog used to be a place like that but gradually, like…
First of all – I’ve put together a couple of online galleries in the metaverse that showcase the work I’ve been doing the past couple of months: This is the best of the art that I’ve created since coming into the NFTverse https://oncyber.io/vagobond This is the collective work of the Bald Jesus Collective which I’m…
