🌊 Swell Network Weekly Recap 🌊

I took some time off to travel and celebrate my birthday the past couple weeks.

We're back this week with a big recap - there is a lot to cover (as always!) in the world of @swellnetworkio. 🐋

Let's dive in 🤿

Arizona Twilight, 2024

This is only the second photograph I have minted this year.

Currently being shown at the Gentse Festival Art Exhibition in Gent, Belgium from July 26-28, 2024.

Day 183 #DailyMuse (The End?)

Six months of making art every day. This has been an incredibly rewarding experiment.

Today's piece looks deceptively simple, but is actually comprised of at least three overlays, plus multiple edits.

I also made an alternate version.

Day 182 #DailyMuse

This is a combination of a photograph overlaid with an AI generated image based on the same photograph.

The coloring comes from using an algorithm to highlight the differences between the two photos.

Day 181 #DailyMuse

I couldn't decide if I prefer the grayscale or color version: two very different aesthetics.

Which one is your favorite?

Day 180 #DailyMuse

Day 179 #DailyMuse

Today's piece is the original photo I used as reference for my largest fully on-chain piece (to date), "entropy."

It's interesting to see the two pieces side-by-side, as they each have their own unique feel, while still expressing the same basic concept.

Day 178 #DailyMuse

Playing with a little false color today.

Day 177 #DailyMuse

No grass in sight.

Throwback: #DailyMuse Day 4

January 18, 2024

I love the sense of scale in this piece: an airplane is in the upper left quadrant, while a person stands in the lower right.

Day 176 #DailyMuse

Don't forget to have fun creating art.

Today's piece was inspired by the recent meme coin frenzy, along with the absurdity of American politics.

"Donald Pepe Obama"

Created using multiple programs to generate, upscale, and edit the constituent images.

Day 175 #DailyMuse

Day 174 #DailyMuse

I had some fun with today's piece. Using multiple programs and algorithms, I combined a stylized version of yesterday's piece with a version of the UFO from my Solana edition, "Dark Tidings."
