A tender counting until days grow longer.

"Discover a world beyond our own with the Petrography Case." This artwork invites viewers to explore a plaster relief contained within, reminiscent of the rugged surface of the moon. The intricate texture and details of the relief draw the viewer in on a journey of discovery. The Petrography Case serves as a window into a world of imagination, a testament to the power of art to transport us to new and exciting places. Come and see what secrets the Petrography Case holds..

Petrography Case

This feels familiar
But I can't figure out why
Have I been here before
Or was it a dream
I remember this feeling
I have felt this before
Have I stepped in a time machine
Gone warp speed back to....... when
And just like that, the feeling is gone
The memory was sweet, I want it back
But I never did figure out what it was.

(This is a generative algorithm written completely with code in Javascript and GLSL.)

Deja Vu

The long haul just feels so…. long sometimes. So far to go, so many obstacles, so many intricacies – often it can be difficult to see through the challenges and remember that everything complex can be divided into smaller, simpler pieces. 

This project is about going back to basics and starting with building blocks like simply delightful objects that bring me joy, my roots in typography & lettering, and – as a metaphor for clarity – the core components of language: our ABCs. 

At the same time, this series is about pushing forward – continuing to evolve the style of my recent generative AI work, which is itself an extension of a lifelong art making practice. If ever the path towards art feels blocked, these works remind me to proceed with simplified persistence.

So “ABCs” is both a continuation of the long journey, and the start of something new. Even the 26 letters of this project are a symbol of the 26 founding members of Tender that helped start the community that continues to grow, and inspire me. 

Releasing this project marks another milestone in our efforts to bridge generative art across platforms, and it’s another way for our collaborations to reach new collectors. What comes next is sure to be a challenge, but I’m excited as ever for this ride – and for it being as long as possible.

ABCs

"The Collector's Room" represents my inaugural foray into the realm of long-form generative art. This series synthesizes my well-established Infinity Room NFT and cryptoart series with my burgeoning passion for crafting textures, 3D geometries, and colors through code. Each NFT, or room, in this series, functions as an homage to the current moment generative digital art is enjoying within the contemporary art sphere. Furthermore, this project pays tribute to the discerning digital art collectors who passionately support and preserve digital culture, paralleling the enthusiasm of the artists who create it.  In a unique twist, each room offers the option of being adorned with one of three distinct generative art series, exclusively available within "The Collector's Room." Consequently, this creates a meta-generative art project, encapsulating a myriad of generative art series within a larger, overarching generative endeavor.  I am honored to bring this series to life, thanks to the support from Proof Collective and the Moonbirds community.
