just took a stroll through @club/fuckurjpeg and reposted my favourites from the last two weeks. was fun/funny getting put on the spot to explain the meaning of the club to a room full of people the other night at the @lens/lens night out in tokyo 😝 there was one time in particular i was out to dinner with a friend who was making fun of NFTs. i tried explaining how beneficial it had been for me but i could tell he still wouldn’t take it seriously. (we’re talking about a very successful director of marketing here who had worked with various high level ad agencies, a smart guy) he goes to the restroom and i get a text from him while he’s gone - a screenshot of a punk. says “this is worth 1 million dollars, now you have it too” as i shake my head and think all that is in his brain is “fuck your jpeg” that was a major source of inspiration for taking the sentiment and owning it (:
2015 1/1 4000x3200 10,000 $BONSAI reserve 5,000 minimum bid increments 10 minute extension from last bid 24h into the storm and around the bend, unsure what’d be waiting at the end. the beginning of something fresh and new, but not without question of what she’d do. most go to the desert for peace. we went for mayhem. all warnings unheeded. brutal wind potential with no cover. micro bullets pounding exposed skin from every direction. pouring grains out of clothing for 3 days. sacrificing all camera equipment for the shot. a scene hollywood can’t make without a mad max budget. likely the most non-recreatable image i’ve ever formed. all for a project from the heart with a dear friend who rented a van & covered hotels. 0 pay. of course this is how it goes most of the time for freelance creatives working on the “cool” stuff. 2,142 miles of a loop journey all at the beginning of a new chapter in my life wading into unfamiliar waters with a relationship but inspired & fired up creatively while exploring the craziest places on earth that were once under the ocean during the dinosaur age. watch the short film here, FORBIDDEN STRUCTURES: https://vimeo.com/539991920 @lens @orb @hey @ornaart @buttrfly @pinsta @phaver @bonsai @creators @photographers #gramsdidit Collect on Orna: https://orna.art/link?mintGuid=c2aab179-e183-4831-a1dd-2e96059f50bd
