Craft
Best viewed on Desktop… Craft holds different meanings for everyone. In my artwork, craft represents the essence of true artistic expression through various mediums. This post highlights recent explorations, inspirations, and some previously unshared content.
COLLECTOR Claim
Every artwork I release often includes an extended product release exclusive to the collector. Communication Systems is no different. Holders have the option to pick from one of the two products below. Each product was made from pure code that translated to either embroidery or a bottle label. These are true 1/1 physicals with unique stories tied to the token ID.
OPTION 1: 1/1 T-shirt all embroidered to match token owner.
OPTION 2: 1/1 Mezcal aged for 2 years.
Story
Since my first experience in crypto in 2017, I have produced ascii artwork in various forms. However, it wasn’t until a trip to Mazatlan, Oaxaca, that I discovered a unique opportunity to create a collection of code artwork that met my vision. I started the artwork but left it dormant for some time until recently. During that trip, however, I had been exploring business opportunities, one of which was with Mezcal.
I met a local family that has been creating artisanal Mezcal for six generations. They are true crafters with whom I immediately felt a synergy. We discussed, tasted, and shared ideas. These six exclusive bottles of Mezcal crafted from wild Madrecuishe agave represent a true craft through and through.
Crafted by local artisans and brought to fruition by myself in a small batch form visualized for the six token holders of CS = 1-2-3-4-5-6 (on the label), these items represent a true care for craft and its imperfections.
The label: Crafted from wild Madrecuishe agave and aged for 2 years, this very limited, small-batch mezcal offers earthy, herbaceous notes with hints of spice and tropical fruit exclusively for owners of Communication Systems artwork.
Inspiration
Inspiration can come from anywhere. I recently had a breakthrough during a trip to a small town in Oaxaca while exploring how to bring my artwork to life in textiles. My challenge was converting my code-based artwork into ancient textile patterns. After spending time with the locals, I realized their craft is rooted in mathematics. It all comes down to tools, with constraints determined by numbers, which both sides need to understand to create a successful product.
Stay tuned for my future art collections, as this research will inevitably lead to claimable products from my ventures. Along the way, I discovered some inspiring artwork deeply rooted in messages that I loved and can be seen below.

New on-chain artwork → Privacy the ultimate currency
A small glimpse into the process of creating this code art. This will be a burnable artwork for those unable to collect CS.
Special edition t-shirt → Convergence
This special edition t-shirt is available to everyone. While the above is exclusive to the six [6] unique token collectors, this is for everyone. It was spawned from the Quantum Convergence token 2 in CS.
