GM Lens Frens! The community here is top notch. How was your weekend? Spent mine covered in oil paint as usual. 🙃 This is a work-in-progress shot from a collection I'm working on that I lovingly call the "Finchlings". These dreamlike characters have quite a story behind them which I will reveal more of in the future. 😉
GM! Who likes a bit of monochrome? The palette... and the painting. 🤍🖤
#11LENSTAGRAMS 10 There's something about these spaces. Every great city of the world I've wandered has them. The narrow alley with an easter egg or two that ends up feeling like a cheat code to life. Places tucked away that the average folk overlook as they chase the shiny object or dangling carrot. Add some reflective h2o on the textured ground like a Scorsese film & you've got yourself a scene. I'm SO HAPPY I got to spend more than 13 minutes in Sapporo during this trip. There's an eternity to explore on every level both above & below ground. 1 WMATIC open edition for 24 hours // 10% mirror referral  This is the FINAL OPEN EDITION of the series. Upon closing tomorrow the edition of 11 will go live for 11 WMATIC to top things off.

059 - Ciao Verona Ink and public space 16/06/2012, Verona, Italy 🇮🇹 During my 2nd travel to Europe (https://lensport.io/p/54180_598) I visited quite a lot of Italian cities: Turin, Milan, Venice, Murano, Burano, Rivoli, Susa, Florence, Siena, Assissi, Pisa, Rome, Salerno, Fisciano, Benevento, Baronissi… However, 2012’s travel had a different impact than in 2011’s one. While in 2011 I was walking as a zombie due to the amazement and drawing with electricity to capture every detail around me, in 2012 I travelled and perceived things with more calm. I remember to have taken all the needed time for every drawing. Thanks to that my sketches started to be more detailed and complete, right as it was my perception of every visited place and city. The complexity of my expression also changed: I managed the colours and the shadows with a different criteria, maybe more mature than just one year before. Today’s drawing at Verona’s Piazza delle Erbe whitnesses all that change (yes, the same Verona in which I met E. https://lenster.xyz/posts/0xd3a4-0x01b5). The reason behind this change was my purpose: I was convinced to be back in Europe soon, and to stay longer, much longer… And indeed, in November 2013 I landed in Italy and since then I’m still living in Europe. But tell me dear reader, Have you been to Verona? Have you read Ciao Verona of Julio Cortázar?

GM Lens Frens! Hope you're having a good start to the week. Here's one of my completed paintings... and me for a size reference 😆
Denver has some sick street art
I’m excited for all the emerging creators on lens. They are at an advantage over established web 3 creator/influencers who’s fame built on web2 social often hampers their curiosity and interest in expiermentjng for what is new that originally led to their success in the last bull market The same was true for Instagram influencers who slept on TikTok while a new generation of creators were early to the platform Web3 creators who don’t pay attention to web3 social will fall behind the curve in short order
Thank you for such a warm welcome here on Lens! 🖤 This is my current work in progress. My oil paintings take 100s of hours & I only produce a small number of completed paintings a year. I think these work-in-progress shots are so special because they capture a passing moment in the life of the painting. I also love animation, so expect to see some of that from me as well! Finally - a place to share these moments that empowers the artist 🔥
First post on Lens! Looking forward to the possibilities.
