Welcome! I'm an Australian photographer and artist creatively engaged as a first responder to the bleeding hourglass. Minting since April 2021, this is a selection of my work. Please reach out to say hi! I'm @articulate on Warpcast or @art_icu_late on X.
Trilogies are a classic form of storytelling and I love them. "Sentiment, 2024" is a photography collection, lightly edited with Affinity Photo and without AI. It describes our collective experience in the first 3/4 of 2024, starting with Sentiment I: I still believe in NFTs"
"Sentiment, 2024" has been minted on Base L2 (parts I and II), and Shape L2 (part III). I consider this fragmentation of the trilogy the ultimate expression of the sentiment this year.
Sentiment II: the friends we made along the way
Sentiment III: The future is calling
"Persistent Ideas". Nature, Exploration, Community. We all crave permanence, in this volatile space created by people with a shared love of immutable ledgers. Each image is a photograph, heavily edited with Affinity Photo but without AI.
The Pepe Trilogy. This is a short story about the escape by Pepe from a Meme Card into the world, and what he finds there. It is a crossover between "Memes Outside" and Pepe. Made with DALLE-3 and Affinity Photo.
"Sydney 2023: Surviving the Storm".
One of my earliest minted collections was "Sydney 2021", five 1/1 photos minted on the original Foundation contract in 2021.
That collection described the experience of living in Sydney during the first wave of the pandemic by looking at the space around the Sydney Opera House.
In 2022 and again in 2023 I continued to revisit the Opera House.
This image was made in August 2023 as the light fell during the first minutes of an evening winter storm.
While the height of the pandemic has passed, the clouds remain and so do we.
This is my first 1/1 photograph on Base Layer 2.
"This is How I See the World" invites AI to generatively expand the frame of real photos, without prompts. This project reveals the way different AI algorithms imagine the world in which we live.

Memes Outside.
Perhaps the first photography project to link NFTs about CC0 digital art with street art, culminating in a CC0 photobook available at cost price (no margin) for about $10 on Amazon.com, with provenance backed by an ERC-721 NFT.
Memes Outside: The Poster is a cheap ($5) way to support the project at a reasonable price.
Memes Outside: The 1155 NFTs. These NFTs, made over 12 months in Sydney Australia, are the heart of the collection.
Memes Outside: The 721 NFTs. There are only 3 ERC-721 images as part of this collection, and of those only two are 1/1s. The other image is "6529 Operations Support SQ" which was a limited run of 42 numbered editions.
"Sydney 2021". My representation of Sydney during the pandemic lockdowns as experienced through the Opera House. Inspired in part by Katsushika Hokusai's "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" (1830-1832).
Articulate 1/1s
The best of the 1/1 art I have minted on my own contract that does not fit into a specific collection.
