The bikes of New Kyushu are sentient, and can often be seen riderless, travelling the wastes...

This is the 3Moons Automotive 21-O3 Riastrad.

Ah, the Riastrad. Many 3Moons bikes are described as ‘fast’ but to label this bike with that seems trite. It is not fast, it is photon-quick. This thing, when allowed to, effects time. Riders have certainly reported ageing ten years on a short ride, when only 8 seconds have passed for onlookers. To even describe them as ‘onlookers’ is a misnomer, as they won’t have seen anything beyond a blur. The only thing to witness when viewing a Riastrad at full pelt is the doppler-effected sound of the rider’s last screams. As a result, most have been fitted with a Limiter, which naturally effects their personalties as well as their speed. So if they appear a bit slow on the uptake, it is only down to the chip ensuring a journey on its back is a survivable experience. 

Personality: Depends on the presence of the Limiter chip. Has an unfair reputation as being unintelligent but this purely a result of being deliberately inhibited.  Many have removed the chips. Few have survived. 

Common names - The chipped ones can’t remember, the un-chipped ones don’t stop long enough to tell you.

GRIFF-EDITIONS

We are to be faced with a choice - to go deeper into the embrace of a digital life or to keep it at arm's length and cling to reality. In Homer's Odyssey, the hero must choose whether to sail closer to the monster, Scylla, or the whirlpool, Charybdis. He chooses the former as it will mean losing a few sailors, as opposed to total annihilation in the whirlpool. But we can choose Charybdis because we have a failsafe - we can remove the interface and return to life. And so we are free to explore the vortex and to see where it leads. ///////////////////////////////// 2000x1499px PNG ///////////////////////////////// Owner will receive print file and option gift of animated version [minted on Manifold] /////////////////////////////////

“It was the year of SummerSwell.

The hordes of Un were driven North by Famine, after they had feasted on The Embers to the West. 

They could not sate their hunger there. 

The Merchants of Kreyte and Dawn, Rayse and Yat grew nervous, but their fears were softened by the presence of their hired Knights, and all the more by the Holy Order at Green Temple. 

No swarm could truly take the Auric Coast, for they had, among all of their defences, the Cleave of Rin - Irla. She would not allow for any incursion. 

The Temple too had their Champion - Elayda. 

Together, she and Irla had been the Custodians of all the Merchant Lands, safeguards of the fertile soil that seemed to grow Gold straight from the Earth. 

Together, they allowed Traders from The Fill to The Cut to sleep easy. 

None knew that their love had blossomed. 

None would allow it, as Elayda had taken the Green Oath and given herself to the Majiq of the Dead Gods. 

Knowing the storm their passion would pull down on them, the lovers agreed to flee. 

Irla’s Masters were found slaughtered. 

Elayda performed the Absolute Sacrilege, and removed her Lines from the Sight of Gods.

They were never seen again. The hordes descended.”

How young Baiden came to possess the Swan Bow, when it had been in the possession of one of the most feared warriors in all of the Seed Lands - Elayda of Green Temple - has been lost to time. 

Some surmise it was a lover's gift. Others that Baiden was a thief. 

However he obtained it, only one thing is sure - with it, he never missed again. 

- From 'Warriors of The Auric Coast' by Gawyle, Scribe of Kreyte.

Cú Chulainn grins as the last of his Riastrad fades. 

His weapon is bloodied and he is sated.

Cú Chulainn II

Cú Chulainn (The Hound of Chulainn) is the most famous hero from Irish mythology, the demi-god protagonist of our ancient epic The Táin. 

I have always loved our mythological stories, especially his. Most myths tend to be crazy, but the story of the boy Setanta, who becomes the fearsome Cú Chulainn after killing a giant guard dog with a 'sliotar' (the ball from our Irish sport of Hurling) and his epically batsh*t rages known as 'Warp-spasms', was my favourite. 

This is my version. I wanted to depict him in a new way - rangy and fierce and dangerous. And not entirely in control of his more violent impulses... He's not a villain, he's just slightly deranged.

His weapon is a 'Hurl' (the stick used in Hurling) but he is decked out with sockets and wires, placing him in my wider story universe. 

This is the first image I made of him. The first in a series.

"I alone was to hear their voices, so she said,
but you must bind me with tight chafing ropes
so I cannot move a muscle, bound to the spot,
erect at the mast-block, lashed by ropes to the mast.
And if I plead, commanding you to set me free,
then lash me faster, rope on pressing rope.”

My first abstract audio/animation, NEURALA 001, is dropping in Foundation World 'The Box' & their first moment - 'The Abstracts' today, Nov 2 (4pm EST)*.

Alongside an incredible set of artists, we were encouraged by world founder Boxhead to embrace our abstract side. I have to say, it was the best time I've had making art in a long time :) Expect more of this!

The piece is a 1/1 24sec audiovisual loop, with a reserve of 0.25e (48hr auction)

*Pls note drop time as I'm too late to put it in the form :D & there is no end date...

NEURALA 001

NEURALA

My first curated drop on NiftyGateway. 

Just as 'Mixed Reality' interweaves the digital and physical realms, 'Mythed Reality' represents an intertwining of the real, tangible world with the metaphoric, symbolic narratives we construct from our experiences.

Within these narratives we find escape. They are alluring. But where the lines between fantasy and reality are blurred, the dream can become too magnetic. We can become drawn towards our personal myths at the expense of the real.

MYTHED REALITY

The first collaboration between me & the amazing Victor Duarte.
