- Just came back from Athens. I will upload more photos of the Acropolis and sunset a bit later. I'm so impatient with this piece and probably making a mistake by sharing it in this form, but it's been about a month of on-and-off work. The colors will be slightly brighter in the final version.
Can you tell whose fan art this is supposed to be?
(By the way, Kuku sleeping while I paint)
- “Feed Me” is our first single ever!!
Hope you enjoy the punk vibes. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
- Lens/Apps thoughts from my POV and a Few others.
This shall be the last “free game” put out.
1. UI on many apps is lacking. It’s too backend heavy and not appeasing to onboarding an everyday web2 user. Design is necessary. (Orb and Tape show this is achievable)
2. Community though thriving I don’t see many community managers if at all with the apps. Having community managers will assist not only the apps but lens it’s self. You need front people not the devs that can and will assist and continue pushing the community forward.
3. Too many apps have an unclear purpose. As well as too many apps being similar with subtle changes I feel forces could be merged to allow for better performance and interface. If I can’t tell what you’re doing in 1-3 minutes max it’s too confusing
4. Onboarding thought clear on lens.xyz seems to be lacking clarity on the apps them selves. I recent seen someone question how to get their lens handle after they already had gotten one on orb and how to locate it to go on other apps.
5. There was a creator lead twitter space yesterday that also allow other to come and talk and ask questions. I feel this is a missed opportunity from the lens team and apps. To have creators be the “host” of a space weekly of some sort.
6. There should be a cheaper way for post with media attached are creator owned contracts. This will allow for metadata updates and so on if ever needed. (Also allows for easier searching for users)
I had more but forget them currently.
These thoughts were left short for dialogue

- ‘Toro’s Perspective’ (2023)
This is the follow up piece to ‘Toro’s Perception’, the 1/1 that sold to @lens/princetiwari yesterday.
I’ve had this sitting around as I initially was just going to airdrop it to the collector of Toro’s Perception, but I wanted to experiment with something.
The proceeds from Toro’s Perspective will be split 50/50 between me and @lens/princetiwari. This is even more fitting given how supportive prince has been to all the creators here on Lens.
I’ve always loved art within art, and thought it only made sense as both pieces revolve around the intricacies of perception vs perspective.

Yes, we are united and connected, transcending visible limits.
My vocals and @lens/andresbriceno guitars are the echo of this truth. Resonating with melancholy, longing to get closer to the positive essence of existence. Wishing to create a joint work with nature, this is a call to introspection, to explore our soul and to make the conscious effort to unite in a deeper bond. In every chord and melody, lies the invitation to transcend the limitations of the individual self and embrace unity.

There's a feeling I get sometimes
Do I call it a sign, or what?
And if you get what I say
You must know as well
That we're all united
Aren't we all divided?
(Divided right now...)
Aren't we all united???
Now I know that we're all UNITED

- Gonna start doing Lensday (Wednesday) spaces on Twitter (maybe some buttrfly)
Goals:
Onboarding/ Questions.
Open conversation from users about their experience and what they would like.
Creator highlights.(creator interview style)
A weekly discussion for new users to have a place to ask questions that may not have been answered.
Town halls for new updates / upcoming things in the ecosystem
(Hopefully get app based weeks also to highlight apps and again allow questions)
(Obviously all won’t be in the same space some can be specific topics)
Side note: it’s potentially 2 spaces each Wednesday
————————————————————————————
If you would like to be apart of this let me know.
Also if you wanna tune it out some times that you would like to see (let’s go with EST timing)

The pain you feel from losing someone you love is from mourning the death of all the agreements you co-created with them. The shared safe space, is now a ghost town inhabited by only you…the most tragic loss 🪷

- How funny it is that the road of travel sometimes looks more like a carousel! Sometimes it spins quickly, sometimes it stops suddenly, and sometimes it just rolls in a circle. But in the end, all the stops and turns are worth the incredible moments we encounter along the way. The main thing is not to forget to bring funny stories and a little patience with you!🎠✈️
- $electric / @lens/pointless price is really attractive atm.
- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [✨PERMISSIONLESS✨ update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 *updated* - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point. (new this month: @lens/pointless )
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: https://inlens.xyz (*) (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lens/hey . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @lens/orbapp and @lens/buttrfly are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lens/hey ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money or have $POINTLESS fun on lens.
one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments.
It is quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. A few approaches to get more visibility:
[1] @lens/animators started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://hey.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks I’ve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @lens/animators ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
[2] consider joining communities on @lens/orbapp .
[3] consider contributing content to the weekly @lens/thisweekon highlight series ( https://hey.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x44 ) or other content threads like @lens/trustmebro .
[4] consider participating in campaigns / events on lens or create an event (maybe check out #OPENLENS for reference). (If you plan to create something please feel free to reach out 🤍)
[5] consider joining lens spaces on @lens/buttrfly .
[6] @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.

- What is EigenLayer ? | Block Bytes
#crypto #blockchain #ethereum
Can the massive economy and security that
Ethereum enjoys extend to other chains or
projects?
EigenLayer is a project that does exactly that.
Powered by the economic guarantees and security that the ETH token brings to Ethereum, liquid staked versions of ETH can be re-used to extend this security cover to those chains/projects outside Ethereum.
In this video, I explain the basics of EigenLayer and the concept of re-staking along with the risks that accompany re-staking.

TL/DR; this piece was inspired by early memories of 1980s nature documentaries that might have influenced Boards of Canada’s sound…
Growing up in Canada, we used to have these short nature documentaries air on local tv. They were produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB for short); a publicly funded film producer that made documentaries and experimental films. It was called *Hinterland’s Who’s Who,* a 60-second PSA, profiling Canadian animals.
Side note: there are so many NFB films that I adore, such as Norman McLaren’s *Dots (*an animation from 1949 in which both sound and visuals were created entirely by drawing directly upon the film), and the apocalyptic cartoon *The Big Snit* by Richard Condie. I'll include links to these in the comments.
The thing about *Hinterland’s Who’s Who* was its theme song - a 10-second solo flute piece, where the combination of vibrato and the wow and flutter of the tape recording produce this distinct, memorable sound. Now, I can’t quite confirm this, but if you're familiar with the Scottish band Boards of Canada, you’d recognize this warbling, pitch-bent, tape emulation that often appears in their music. Were they originally inspired by the *Hinterland’s Who’s Who* theme song?! 🤯
When I created this piece, the flute-like arpeggiated synth reminded me of the Hinterland theme. I added some tape flutter (thank you Abbey Road Vinyl) and suddenly it was giving me some serious BOC vibes.
So, here it is. A little homage to the NFB, Boards of Canada and those little hinterland animals that kept me company when I was a little boy.
