I love Design!

People too weak to follow their own dreams, will always find a way to discourage yours.

Curation is my passion—after investing 10 years on the now defunct Ello platform—where I curated the Design community..

Going on an Art furlough

_Going on Art furlough_

Netdiver Mag will be on hiatus until mid-March /18. I am embarking in a most exciting phase of my life: preparing an exhibition worthy portfolio of both generative arts + abstract & plus fluid art paintings.

On top of that – 3 print portfolios to showcase paintings + generative art to gallery owners.

A lot and lots of work ahead.

_______

As you can see in the staging above – the orientation of renders is pretty much left to the taste of the buyer.

Follow my journey on /iG.

_______

I use an _honor system_ to sell my art: in love with one or to gift someone? DM/ and make me a fair offer (pricing do not include shipping & handling).

All renders available to download as hires to print locally. Gift Art now!

.ART domain extension

Sunrise wave

I am thrilled beyond thrilled to have been accepted (vetted by a panel of artists) to own cgwarex.ART domain extension!

______

Self-explanatory

If you are an artist whose ‘name’ (as mine) says not much to a target audience – (unless you are one of the 1.5% of artists who live from their art) – then get yours.

Costs $$$ for the first year – but irrelevant if you think marketing $$$ to get your name out there. From now on – I will never have to explain what I do: .ART says it all.

Yay!

_______

Why choose .ART?

.ART is a new top-level domain created for the international art and culture community: identify – value word – express – inspire – search – connect – educate.

Now opened to all since May 10!
