I was that little girl who watched Star Trek: TNG late-night Saturdays and dreamed of having a holodeck, so of course I love VR. I have played Beat Saber and done VR painting for a few years now and recently started streaming when I am in VR. I have shoulder/neck/right side injuries and pain issues which I have been dealing with for years from a lifetime of repetitive stress from manual labor, painting, and unfortunately compounded with injuries and trauma that was causing so many symptoms in...

Originally written in July 2023 for a virtual gallery build on Oncyber with the Line project showcasing Damsels. Copied unedited for posterity. As an artist, I’ve always been fascinated by the human form, and it has been a consistent theme of mine through my trad art and crypto art career. Before Damsels the series, there were a lot of PROTO DAMSELS with my first works on OpenSea in Spring 2021, which I digitized, then glitched out of them. I’m still really proud of this series because it was...

@empresstrash on Rodeo: "Paladin Pinup / glit..."Paladin Pinup / glitch ai painting Help me reimagine this work for Rodeo's remix party! How? Download → Remix → Post → ...https://rodeo.clubThis last weekend I had the pleasure of being the artist for Rodeo weekly remix event. The piece and theme I chose was Paladin Pinups. I have been exploring this theme at length spam posting on Zora, and wanted to see what the Rodeo community did with it. I wasn't disappointed. Why Paladin Pinups though? We...

Today, I received a dmca notice on my livestream (dreamweirdodanceclub.live) from Kick for a video on demand, which I never asked to be saved in the first place. I reached out to them to express my upset at this stating since I can't turn off the auto-save this fundamentally violates my consent because my livestream is intended to be just that a live performance, and now I get punished for something I didn't opt into? This incident is right on the heels of soundcloud refusing to distribute my...

blackmirrorclub.com Tonight I looked into the @blackmirror_xp and @KorProtocol and it looks so cool so I totally degened into the Kor founders pass x BM Smile pass. I discovered all this because in the Deadfellaz discord they were running a giveaway for some $Mirror airdrop. Quick explaination: Black Mirror Club is an officially licensed Web3 project inspired by the Netflix anthology series Black Mirror, transforming its dystopian themes into an interactive crypto game where users' social med...

Hey all - it's been another busy couple weeks. Between training my midjourney x titles and making a ton of art, I have been doing the grind.

GM ~ All weekend I was grinding AI training for fun + profit, using my paintings to build models that feel like my paintings. Infinite paintings unlocked. Friday I dropped the Liquid Glitch: Renaissance model on By Sat/Sun I was deep in crafting a new, still unnamed, collage style pulling Bimbocore maximalist meme prompts + fusing them with my painting moodboard. I was bouncing between microsoft copilot, midjourney, title.xyz and a little bit of grok (image generation there I'm still not real...

I worked with Grok on a new artist bio all day today by having it research and research some more to find everything it could to put together a comprehensive artist bio. This was a process, but not as painful as it usually is without ai which it would have taken me weeks to do this update probably instead of one stoned saturday night. It also has given me the idea to create an AI lore bot that continually collects what I have done to keep information current for me and anyone interested to kn...

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I wrote even though my goal this year was to write more consistently. I rescued a puppy who was abandoned on my street (my gutter potato) in Feb which has been a lot with also having a rescue fighting dog, so writing got put on the back burner for a few cause trying to implement a new habit with puppy chaos was really too hard haha. Now he's older and more trained and doesn't need my 24/7 care, I can do things like write interrupted with focus and expand ...
