- So I've started creating poems for social media daily.
Gonna start dropping some here.
Give me a follow to read all original poetry. The best way I can describe my work is focusing on social conscious transformation with a heavy dose of psychedelia.
This first poem was the first poem I ever wrote as Dank PHART The Pirate Poet way back in 2009.
Life's a dream. Let's make it so.

Really love Bonfire's tools for building a web3 site for my art! Will be diving in to further my site development very soon!

- Still here but not yet consistent.
It's ok. I have to remind myself that I'm doing enough.
What I'm building is coming into existence and my relationship with social media is perfect for where I'm at.
I'm definitely a bit of an agent of chaos and organization isn't my strong suit but I've got enough of it to bring my visions into life.
What is this vision? A reality where our creative voices are able to support our lives in every aspect. The world where being a working artist is an almost insurmountable obstacle is so passe.
It's time for new models. This is why I'm bullish on platforms like this one.
Though its still difficult to have to push through to build an audience. Part of the issue is that these are all very big ponds that are very loud. What is needed is a model that scales down the size of the pond and builds a thriving active ecosystem with in it.
I'm attempting to design this very thing and it's launching as an internet radio station in Boulder, CO. By creating a network of local active artists, venues and audience it will provide financial abundance for the scene that will give the artists and venues the resources to meet their needs that provide growth opportunity and growing fan bases.
This is a dream to transform the art industry from the perspective of the artist. I've been developing my career as a poet and working in the grassroots art industry for 13 years.
Now I'm putting it all together.
- The psychedelic rEvolution is thriving!!!
I've been dedicated to this movement for almost 20 years and am now on the front lines in Colorado as we figure out how to create the most progressive legislature in the U.S. when it comes to psychedelic substances.
I'm a staunch advocate for decriminalization and community stewardship before the commercialization. Colorado is working to establish both at the same time.
What an exciting future we've got!!
You have the opportunity to be part of my adventures and activism by joining the Danksters the community around my poetry.

I believe in this platform it's ability to support artists.

Oh also I have a Free Poetry Mint on Polygon
https://www.bonfire.xyz/DankPHART/mission-poetry-r-evolution-sereis-2
This photo isn't the mint. It's just a page from one of my many notebooks.
- Only 5 of 13 Editions left!
A free mint on polygon to build a foundation of mutual support between artist and fan.
The moment to join this art brand at the ground floor will soon be gone.
I'll be creating art for the rest of my life, which is potentially another 40+ years. I've already created 16 years worth of output.
Every collector also receives 300 $DP3, Dankster coin, the token that will be a key component to my digital real estate.
There will be 3 other mints in the this launch series and if you collect this one you will be airdropped the other 3 along with more $DP3.
I'm working towards an art rEvolution where artist and fans thrive together.
Will you be the one to join this 21st century art brand on the ground floor?
Act now or it maybe to late.
- The free mint is live!!!
4 of 13 have already been collected. Will you get one of the one's left?
This first piece is my artist statement and mission.
Every collector will receive 300 $DP3, Dankster Coin that will be a key component to my digital ecosystem.
https://www.bonfire.xyz/DankPHART/mission-poetry-r-evolution-series-1
- This Monday May 1st I will be releasing the first free NFT drop in a series of 4.
The intention of these drops are too build my core audience for my poetry that will empower me to develop a sustainable brand.
Each drop will come with some $DP3, Dankster Coin, and give you access to a private Discord where we will build relationships.
This first drop will come with 300 $DP3 and there will only be 13 editions available.
Been dreaming this in for the past 13 years as I've been actively developing my career as a poet in my local/regional art scene.
Time to take it over the top and make it sustainable.
- A snippet of my upcoming SoundXYZ drop, coming on 4/17!
- The name Dank PHART wasn't made up by me.
It was gifted to me during a Gonzo Mystic naming ceremony. The story involves some LSD, as many of my stories do, and it's the intro to my 2nd book "heART rEvolution" that will be coming out in the next year sometime.
- Letting the poem speak for itself
- Always on the adventure.
Looking forward to all that's coming into play.
I'll be creating art for the rest of my life. What a time to be alive.
Here's a clip of poem that expresses my philosophy and lineage as a writer. Some simple editing and will be diving into more in the coming weeks.
Time for this fool poet to boil and make the kettle whistle.
In time I'll hire videographers to make my videos super dope.
- Poems spill endlessly forth from me. Have so much work already produced I could post a poem a day for a year and never post the same thing twice. Though I'm going to keep it to a dull roar. My main focus is building my audience so I can take this to the next level.
I already have a few ideas of tours planned out.
One of them is based around coordinating with the local communities where I perform that includes 3 days of events. Day 1 a workshop, Day 2 an open mic and Day 3 a performance with multiple poets, musicians, live painters and vendors from the local scene. The intention is to help create more synergy and potent connection in the local scene with the tour. One of my goals as an artist is to help cultivate thriving scenes all over the place. There's artists everywhere and I want to help support them.
The other tour is based on psychedelic education. It will be a national tour in collaboration with the college psychedelic clubs to educate on harm reduction and advocate for liberation of these important and powerful substances.
Follow me here to stay up to date on all my adventures and information on how you can get involved on the ground floor.
- Just logged into @diversehq.lens and with it being on Lens I didn't have go through making a whole profile when I logged in.
Such a refreshing experience. The amount of time spent making new profiles is absurd. Really stoked on moving past walled communities. The synergy feels so gooooooooooood.
Will be looking start a poetry community on diverse.
- Never had a plan B and never going too.
The past 13 years have been fueled by an insatiable drive that I feel was impossible to say no too.
Many of the times it didn't lead to happiness but the happiness was secondary to the mission.
The mission isn't to be "a famous artist" it's to be an artist that helps the world shift into a new way of living that understands the interrelated nature of life. Somehow I knew from a young age that the world needed a shift and it wasn't a material shift but a philosophical shift that leads to an energy shift which would be termed a spiritual shift known as the shift in consciousness. If that is the case it's very natural and inevitable.
These web3 tools that empower community and collaboration over exploitation and individualism are a reflection of this shift taking place. The only way we can get to tomorrow is together.
Today I'm putting together the TestMints on Decent.xyz that will be a series of free NFT drops to build a core audience that will support my mission as an artist. I will be developing reward mechanics for my fans to create a win-win situation where we thrive together. The first layer will be my social token $DP3 Dankster Coin which will be utilized in participating in my digital ecosystem that offers exclusive access, discounts and whatever we can dream up of as a community. This core fan base will have a direct influence on how we grow as I spend the next 40+ years creating art.
Give me a follow to stay in the know as these adventures unfold.
- Pulled this piece out from the archive. It's different visually then how I'm currently making my NFTs making it very unique.
It's time for us to build into the tomorrow where we all thrive together and get be our fullest expression.

- Overview of Daniel Allan's Artist Seed Round Raise
I wanted to upload the full podcast to Lenstube today, but 'm having difficulty uploading the whole thing because the file is so huge and it'sdifficult to upload to Arweave and I had to bridge some MATIC and my Brave wallet kept disconnecting during the upload blah blah blah
SO anyway, here's a clip of Daniel Allan giving an overview of what investors are buying into with his recent raise
- This video feel like a lifetime ago. Hard to believe it's almost been a decade.
Was a little less bald back then 😆
I've been cultivating .IRL community for 13 years now with the tools of web3.
Will be launching a series of free NFTs in the near future. The goal is to build the core audience that will support my art and establish a foundation as a working artist.
I'm going to be calling it "the momdation" inspired by Charlie Rocket and his business philosophy of your core supporters being "mom's" or individuals that love your work so much they will buy whatever you create.
My ultimate goal is to create a model where my fans thrive along with me as the brand grows.
This will be achieved through web3 tools such as a social token, commissions on sales and offering my editions for a low hanging fruit offer that will be available initially to my core fan base.
Ideally the first sales will go only to this "momdation" and they will be buy them all for a low price that flips them on the secondary market for a higher value. I imagine them also keeping a couple pieces for their personal collection and to hodl for long term growth.
I will be creating art for the rest of my life so there's a good chance this will be 40+ years of brand development you get to be part of.
- Gm homies
- There is no wrong way to make art
- Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity.
Samuel Becket
Poets give us the ability to recognize life itself from which all intelligence arises.
- Poetry is my life blood.
Been on the journey to build a sustainable career for 13 years and now web3 is offering all the tools necessary to make it happen.
I'm here to do this for the rest of my life. The large vision is to build a brand that empowers the fans as much as it does me. Win-Win-Win then we all Won. That's what WAGMI means to me.
Phuck the gatekeepers it's time for artists to thrive on their own terms.
Also really love these web3 social platforms, was never a fan of being a slave for vacuous attention that was only serving the owners of the company, while being an energy vampire on society.
Give me a follow if you want to be on the journey with me and join at the foundation of my brand.

- Swimming through the tech to figure out how to best launch a series of free NFTs to build a core audience for my poetry.
Seems like every time I think I've got it figured out there's more to research. Definitely gets to be a little overwhelming. I'll keep going though.
Really like @bonfire.lens and the tools they have.
Minted my own social token $DP3, Dankster Coin, this week on roll.
Soon I'll be over this hump and on to the fun stuff where I get to connect with fans to build something really magickal.
- Diving deep into research and development to put together pieces to execute series of free NFT drops to build a core audience that will provide a solid foundation to grow into a fully thriving 21st century art brand.
I'm a one man team and this me wearing all the hats. On the edge as I explore the technical pieces to bring a dream to life. I look forward to when I have a team to support this journey.
It's been a long road these past 13 years but it's almost to the point where I've got basecamp set up!
Building a model that will empower both fans and myself to thrive together!
- We just completed the first week of a16z's Crypto Startup School, and are thrilled to share our experience with you. As creators ourselves, we thought it would be valuable to document our journey as we navigate this three-month accelerator program.
In this blog and podcast, we will share some of the insights and ideas we gained during the first week of CSS and how they are shaping Bello. Specifically, we’re taking note of where we are today, and where we’ll be at the end of May when the accelerator commences.
Throughout the week, we got to meet the other teams in our cohort and had the incredible opportunity to learn from some of the most experienced minds in the crypto space like Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong, a16z’s Chris Dixon and Sriram Krishnan, Stanford’s Dan Boneh and more.
The program kicked off with an inspiring talk by Chris Dixon, who discussed the evolution of the internet from Web 1 to Web 2 to Web 3. He emphasized the importance of owning the digital things we create online and building communities in the ownership layer of the internet. This resonated with us because we are building Bello for creators and want to empower users to own their data. Dixon's concept of creating an ownership layer of the internet has significant implications for the future of the web, and we are excited to explore this further.
Probably the analogy that stuck with us the most had to be Dixon’s perspective on building a town hall and eventually expanding into a city, which in part refers to you that’s consuming this content right now. From finding your first few users that align with your purpose, and spreading that gospel to grow the town into a city is a concept that really resonated with us.
Another speaker that stood out was Sriram Krishnan, an expert in product development. He stressed the importance of iterating quickly and building a feedback loop to respond to user insights. He coined this cycle as the OODA Loop where teams must Observe, Orient, Decode, and Act. Teams who fulfill the loop consistently as fast as possible win above all. This is something we are constantly working on at Bello, and Krishnan's advice was incredibly helpful. He also highlighted the significance of building a product that users love, which requires continuous improvement.
When Brian Armstrong (and his bodyguards) entered the room, you could feel an uptick in energy. Throughout the hour, he spoke about being cautious of attending conferences, growing your team while finding product market fit, and shared his advice with hiring your first few employees. TLDR, if the candidate is not a hell yes, then they’re a hard no.
The week commenced with an awesome social event with drinks and catering where the cohort came together, met one another in an intimate setting, and spoke about our goals for the accelerator.
The biggest takeaway for us was getting a glimpse into what the structure and agenda would look like for Bello for the next three months. It felt like being back in school, except this time, we can directly apply what we learn in the classroom to positively impact you guys.
We consider the first week of Crypto Startup School to be a success, so stay tuned for our next update, where we will share our insights and experiences from Week 2 of the accelerator program.

I'm a poet and will poet here to for the rest of my days on this earth.
Currently laying the ground work to build a thriving career as poet using the latest in web3 tools.
People told me more times then I can count that being a poet wouldn't ever make money even one my MFA professors at the Jack Kerouac School of Dembodied Poetics. It wasn't their fault they were just looking at the world for the lens of yesterday and didn't understand the digital revolution that was coming. I dropped out a few weeks later to pursue my careers as a poet. This was 2013.
I knew the internet was creating opportunities that most didn't recognize and now a decade later its more true then ever.
What dreams are you pursuing with web3?

- Been on the journey to build a sustainable career as a poet for 13 years. Now in lucky number year 13 I've got the tools to launch something that will sustain me.
Feeling beyond excited. What I'm developing will be the foundation that supports me for the rest of my life as an artist.
In early April I will be launching the campaign that will develop a core audience for my art. With the methodology I don't need a huge following.
Using @bonfire.lens to launch a series of free NFTs of my poetry starting in a very limited amount and increasing it with each consecutive drop and giving holders access to a token gated community on discord where we get to know each other and become friends. From here I've developed a strong relationship and will do an exclusive merch drop. Then kick off a crowdfunding campaign where they will get my demo poetry album that will be released with resources from the crowdfund. As a part of the reward for contributing there will be 42% of all profits from the album put into a pool that gets distributed to all holders of the demo. With people holding the free NFTs that they were the genesis for the brand launch when they contribute to the success of the brand they are enhancing the value of the assets they already own.
This coming Monday I'll be getting my first 5 million in $DP3, Dankster Coin, minted from Roll social token. I'm building an ecosystem for my fans to thrive along with me as we build the future of what a 21st century art brand can look like.
It's time for the dream of being a thriving poet to come fully to life!!

- The Book of Armament Chapter two, Verses nine through twenty-one:
"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Don't Ask Roster
@bertism0.lens (b. 1995) is a contemporary artist known for his superflat style, which is characterized by its bright colors, clean lines, and flattened forms. His work is highly abstract, with shapes and patterns that are often reminiscent of geometric or organic shapes, but are rendered in a way that is both simplified and highly stylized.

- Its been almost a week since I saw all you're beautiful faces.
Was such a blast! Typing poems for people on my typewriter that I turned into NFTs was super special.
Looking forward to putting into action all the tools I learned about for creators.
Getting in on @lensprotocol.lens was step 1 of implementation.
- So last week at EthDenver I received my Lens handle. Been in here this week and absolutely love it.
This is the kind of thing I've been waiting for since 2005 when I first got on Facebook as a college student at the University of Iowa.
One of the thoughts that crossed my mind after hearing @nader.lens speak for a creator economy series had to do with building value for your community.
Any successful brand has a marketing budget and in web2 you put money into ads. The money goes into a black hole that somehow makes a single person wealthy beyond reason all due to market share and some fancy stock market valuations. Yet these same platforms dictate culture and when it comes out that they may have accidentally supported genocide they hold up their arms and "sorry, my bad." yet do nothing to change it.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/25/business/ethiopia-violence-facebook-papers-cmd-intl/index.html
Now with models like @lensprotocol that are designed to empower creators, not yoke them to a platform to squeeze every second out of them so they can keep eyeballs glued to their toxic waste pouring from feeds using addiction to drive ad sales, brands can use that marketing budget to pay it forward to their fans who share their content.
The old world of competition and false scarcity is coming to a close as the next chapter of symbiosis and abundance begins to be written. I believe art will be instrumental in this transition.

Together we thrive. Alone we can barely support our self.
- This world filled with experience arises from a nothing so empty it can't be conceived.
Some it births itself from this.
A strange dream wandering through time as it seeks meaning for itself forgetting the meaning is in the experience.
Ride the wave and toss all questions into the great abyss of the infinite. Let experience be the guide and listen to the body as it calls out for expression
- SO awesome to see creators promoting their drops and paid moments on Lens, this is a fantastic use of your social graph
BUT remember - if the only time we're hearing from you on Lens is when you are asking followers to consider buying something, you're limiting your potential reach
AS a basic rule of thumb, for every "please buy/collect this" post you should have at least 4 others that are quality posts about you, your project, and things going on you want your followers to hear about
Lens is best used when you TELL THE STORY of your project BEFORE/DURING/AFTER the actual drop takes place
Like all stories, there's a beginning, middle, and end! Don't just jump to the conclusion, tell me why I should care!
An example:
i'm releasing a paid collect for a song on Lens/link to NFT drop off Lens in 1 week
i post about the project, why im doing it, who's involved
i post clips of the song, studio recording footage, pics and BTS content
i share the artwork as a 24 hr open edition
i whitelist my most engaged fans from all these posts to pre-mint the actual song
THEN i do the drop/paid collect of the full song

- I'm on a mission to help assist the creative revolution that will regenerate this planet.
This next phase of life on earth wont be made from victory on the battlefield of nations murdering each other over resources and conditioned values that inhibit our organic vibrant selves that lust for full expression.
William Blake, a poet from the 1700's, wrote that we must move from the battle fields of the gross world to the more refined battlefields of our inner landscape. This is one of the reasons I'm heavily involved in the psychedelic renaissance as these are powerful tools in that battle.
Let's create a more loving and empowered world that has permission to follow its heart with a full yes.
This is why I do what I do.
Build solutions from the ground up and it starts in our own bodies.
Art is a vehicle to assist in this process.
