Photo taken June 28, 2024, at 7:52 PM in Phoenix, Arizona.

I edited this piece the following day, and it became a part of my Daily Muse project (Day 167 of 183).

The following month, the piece was accepted by The Builders DAO, in association with Artcrush, to be shown at the Gentse Festival Art Exhibition in Gent, Belgium from July 26-28, 2024.

This is the original artwork from Bear Market Blues (Desert Sunset) - released in November 2022 as an ERC-1155 open edition.

It has been enhanced from the original using GFP-GAN, an upscaling algorithm, and some light digital editing.

Once the original artwork was changed on 2/2/2023, this was minted as an ERC-721 1/1.

My first publicly available NFT, offered as a free Open Edition (November 2022).

Bear Market Blues (Groundhog Day)

This piece is inspired by Noh Huyn-soo's eating of a banana duct-taped to a wall at Seoul's Leeum Museum of Art in April 2023.

Alternatively, one could say this piece is inspired by Noh Huyn-soo's brave act of performance art in which he transformed Maurizio Cattelan's "Comedian" into something new in April 2023.

Per NPR, "Noh told the museum that he ate the art because he was hungry, according to Korean public broadcaster KBS."

Where Are You Going?

TheBenMeadows Editions (ERC-1155) is a collection of artwork by TheBenMeadows, minted via a personal Manifold contract as ERC-1155 tokens.

They might have utility in the future, but the primary utility is art.

All art is created using AI and Digital Manipulation (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Topaz Gigapixel AI, and/or Pixelmator Pro).

Inspired by my one-of-one piece, "Blue Tree."

This piece was created along with its complimentary sibling, "Dollar Tree," as a meditation on the "money-ness" of Bitcoin versus fiat currency.

It also plays on the phrase "money doesn't grow on trees."

TheBenMeadows On-Chain Editions

On a relatively cold February day (in Southern California), I looked up and was struck by two things:

1. The two security cameras watching me from such a great height.  
2. The contrast between the stark steel structure and the deep blue of the sky.

This photograph was also the first Bitcoin ordinal that I inscribed (#57395). 

The ordinal can be viewed here:

Additionally, the initial buyer of this piece is entitled to the Bitcoin ordinal.
