First Introduction to Art on Blockchain
Today's Gazers Origin Moon celebration is for my First Introduction to Art on Blockchain, which happened under the New Moon that arrived on 5/26/2017. #Gazers1000 #cryptoart pic.twitter.com/KbXHVxrp9u

'Art on Blockchain' arrived in my email! Someone asked on Quora, "Is painting becoming less relevant as a form of art?" @AbstractCrane gave this answer that instantly clicked for me. 🙏 I was so excited, I took this screenshot. June 10, 2017. It set my foundation for #cryptoart! pic.twitter.com/MHIvA0oMtx

I already understood blockchain. Suddenly, a solution to my problem of how I could bring my work to a market without being forced into making prints or using flimsy paper certificates of authenticity. No gold gilded USB drives! I'd use blockchain for provenance! And royalties!✨ pic.twitter.com/UirDipbhGi

I instantly did several google searches looking for blockchain art galleries, but not finding what I was looking for. I was too early! This was June 10th, 2017. CryptoPunks wouldn't even launch until 13 days later. (Under the same Moon!) pic.twitter.com/4K8TAhqcYC

I'd return to my work on my custom generative studio software, but keep an eye on this "art on blockchain" phenomenon. It was still my time to build what I'd later bring to this burgeoning market… pic.twitter.com/dXWK5uPKZm

I'd be watching Twitter over the next year as @PowerDada, @rareartlabs, @KnownOrigin_io, and @SuperRare all launched – glued to @artnome's reporting. If only I hadn't been too early – these were the platforms I was searching for under this Origin Moon that arrived 5/26/2017. 🌚 pic.twitter.com/Z3X6Nizki6
