[CARDANO GENISIS BLOCK ID]

GENISIS BLOCK CONCEPT

"BIG BANG" GRAPHIC

When discussing this project with the CF team, we decided to use Cardano’s Genesis Block as an influence for the design.

The genesis block held 14,505 transactions, the original voucher transactions on the chain. These are represented as a 3D animated cloud of 14,505 slips that vary in size based on the amount in the transaction.

Cardano is generally known for it’s technical-conscious audience, I believe it’s what attracts people to the ecosystem. This abstract graphic is intended to appeal to that crypto-punk vibe in a cool and subtle manner — a nerdy conversation starter but it doesn’t scream “Crypto-Bro.”

To vary the size of the slips based amount of ADA in each transaction, the blocks metadata was used to create a ~120×120 pixel PNG with the value of each pixel corresponding to the amount.

This PNG was then mapped onto the emission object and set with a constraint that adjusts the size of each particle.

The Design

I wanted to give a sense of scale to the block, showcasing the amount of transactions eternalized within it, a visual representation of the blocks metadata.

The small emblem on the back contains the Cardano logo and “Est.” with the genesis block ID, a nerdy-joke since the ID can be quired to find the exact start of the chain, down to the second.

PROOF-OF-PURCHASE

DIGITAL ASSET NFTs

Hopefully the start of a tradition with CF merch, these t-shirts are accompanied with NFTs to serve as a digital proof-of-purchase. Whether lost, or faded after years of wash cycles, this token was created to live on past a shirt’s natural/finite lifespan — a digital memento.

The media included inside the token is the animation used to create the graphic.

Fragile Thoughts

admin — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 14:37:00 +0000

Fragile, handle with care.

We go through life accompanied by our fragile thoughts. They’re the ideas we dream up, but, for one reason or another they are difficult to peruse. Its important to remember to handle your fragile thoughts with care.

The Shrine

Inside “Fragile Thoughts” is a small shrine of Snoo that is revealed when equipping a blank head, eyes and body trait.

This concept of hidden shrines is something I plan to continue with and build upon with future RCA releases.

- Bonus Collections -

Fragile Thoughts [SIGNED]

Signed Avatars are sort of a tradition in the RCA community. When I was first asked to do one I thought it would be cool to mint them, so this piece was created to be like a paint swatch of the avatar to give as a thank you.

Each edition is signed and numbered by hand, and many of them also include a small message.

Fragile Thoughts holders are welcome to reach out to me for one of these (as long as the number you’re holding does not already have a signed version).

Get [SIGNED]

Any questions, reach out to u/withspaces on Reddit

The Shards

The Shards is a collection of nine 1/1 pieces created from single shards that made up the Fragile Thoughts character. This collection was created to celebrate the RCA collection, and to have some pieces of Fragile Thoughts on my home blockchain, Cardano.

Five of the Nine shards will be raffled in the Kreate Mega Drop 2 (an event celebrating artists on Cardano). The four remaining pieces are listed on Kreate.

R.O.D.R.160-ABHS

admin — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 17:29:00 +0000

About ABHS

ABHS is an cross-chain project built on Etherium with the intent of introducing the Cardano ecosystem to the existing NFT market (primarily on ETH).

One of the ways they approached this was by partnering with Cardano artists/projects and releasing custom work for free to ABHS supporters. The collections were typically released as 5-8 Edition artworks of varying rarity (with higher rarity pieces going to the biggest supporters).

This drop was handled a little differently.

Frames

This series (like my other R.O.D.R.160 collections) was released as “frames”. Each of the 2000 NFTs is a unique still-image frame, and put together they create a full animation.

‘Rarity’ (one of the conditions of the commission) was built into the set with the animations starting simple, and gradually becoming more active as the sequence progresses. The final frames show a golden halo floating down onto R.O.D.R.160’s head and the scattered camera effects also increase towards the end.

“Framed” sets is something I have been exploring since 2021, and I think this series is my best execution so far. Excluding the halo and camera effects, rarity is very subjective. The scene changes linearly, so no frame is actually rarer than any other.

Additional Media

These pieces obviously make a pretty good phone wallpaper, so I included two additional images in each NFT (main piece on the lock screen and these on the home).

Hold Your Fire

admin — Sat, 22 Jan 2022 19:41:02 +0000

Charles Gitnick

Charles is an artist based in California, known for his themes of gun violence and use of (prop) firearms in his work. He began exploring the concept at an early age and has continued to innovate and grow his style.

The Collaboration

This collection was brought together by Cardano communicy member Fettuccine (of ABHS and Plutus.art). I’m very grateful for it as this is one of my most proudest collections.

The 3D gun models were modeled from scratch by me. The targets were painted by Charles, then draped over the barrel of the guns.

The collection was released as 16, 1 of 1 editions.

Media

Multiple media files were stored in each NFT, including the thumbnail image, the primary (transparent PNG) gun renderings, a rendering of the target and the three unique PFPs created for the piece.

R.T.A. [Open Series]

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 19:30:00 +0000

Meet R.T.A.

Released: July 29, 2021

The first R.T.A. piece, created for the opening Artano auction.

This NFT was created as an Artano INFT (Infinite NFT) set to loop through 109 still frames, changing every 24 hours. The loop was started at the purchase of the token. . Every ≈36 days, the logo displayed will change, rotating between the Artano logo, the Cardano logo and the withspaces logo. There is one transition day between each logo change where the logos are glitched together.

R.T.A. — Drop 2

Released: December 10, 2021

The second R.T.A. series, released at the launch of Artist profiles on Artano.

Each piece was minted as a single edition and follows the progression of platform from my perspective. The collection features other collections/artists such as Smitty Studio and Monad Alexander.

R.T.A. Remembering is worth noting. Its specifically opened to the Unsigned Algorithms page of 31 Weeks as the collection was initially intended to be released on Artano. The piece is priced at the number of Unsigs.

R.T.A. Exploring

Released: March 03, 2022

RTA Exploring is my second full series R.T.A. series. It was released shortly after Artano released its edition feature for artists. The collection is a mix between editions and 1/1s, as the nine pieces were all only minted once.

R.T.A. Exploring #9 (along with a 109) was displayed at a small art show in Mystic, CT, late 2022.

As of writing this, two have yet to find a home, #9 which I may hang onto, and R.T.A. Exploring #5.

R.T.A. FOMOing

Released: March 20, 2022

Released as one of the first auctions on the Artano, and one of the earliest smart-contract auctions on Cardano. This NFT includes an additional graphic showing progress renderings (for R.T.A.’s display).

Early Mint

This was my first collection minted as NFTs, and some of the earliest NFTs minted onto the Cardano Blockchain.

I got into NFTs shortly after completing my 2021 portfolio, people in the community enjoyed it so I had some of the work minted to raffle to supporters.

East Bay Bike Station

admin — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 16:07:00 +0000

Heart of the Bike Path

The conceptual studio project, known as the East Bay Bike Station, was envisioned as the central hub for the East Bay Bike Path, serving as a versatile and dynamic facility. Within this project, the primary objectives included providing storage options for visitors’ belongings, offering a range of retail choices for food and supplies, and creating a communal space for public work activities.

Situated on a unique and elongated site, positioned across from India Point Park and nestled alongside the i-195 overpass, the design of the East Bay Bike Station was driven by the site’s inherent constraints and opportunities. The site’s narrow dimensions inspired a design approach that featured staggered floors interconnected by ramp-ways. This innovative configuration formed the core structure of the building, fulfilling a dual purpose. Not only did it facilitate easy transportation of bikes through the building, but it also created a visually striking and functional element.

Heart of the Bike Path

To enhance the building’s usability and aesthetics, vibrant and distinct colors were incorporated into the design. These colors served as visual cues, both from the interior and the exterior, effectively distinguishing the various levels of the building. The result was a lively and engaging environment that beckoned to visitors, making their experience memorable and user-friendly.

Moreover, the building soared to impressive heights, with floors extending 30 feet above the i-195 overpass. This elevation positioned the East Bay Bike Station as a prominent gateway into the city of Providence for cyclists traveling along the East Bay Bike Path. It not only offered essential amenities but also symbolized a welcoming and iconic landmark, signifying the transition from the path to the vibrant cityscape beyond.
