Still thinking about Marfa, so I built a game about it.
Judd boxes, burritos, the whole Sprite Party crew. Mint your run free on @base. Current record: 825. Come take my Crown.
Built with ABX from @artblocks_io

For those who couldn’t make it to Marfa, here’s a little glimpse of how we created the Upstream collectible cards together!
I modified two handheld printers so that every time someone swiped or rolled one across the paper, a random cell would appear.
Each pass added something new, and nobody knew exactly what the final composition would look like.
A collaboration between the participants, me, and chance. Every card ended up being completely unique!
The whole idea was to bring people together at the fair, create something collaboratively, and have a good time along the way. And judging by the DMs I’ve been getting, mission accomplished! 🙌🏼
And Marfa might have been just the first stop! I’m already in talks to bring this experience to other locations!!

Games have arrived at @SuperRare
Art has many forms, and we want to be the home for all of them.
Go play The Wall Arcade, built by @johnkarp around the NFC Lisbon community.
It’s game time 🎮
@johnkarp built an arcade for NFC Lisbon. We’re helping bring it to life with SuperRare Studio.
NFC has supported artists for years, and we’re excited to support what they’re building next.
Play the arcade 🧵

Dear Marfa,
Words will fail me but I will try.
The one that kept appearing was gratitude. I don’t know what I did to deserve this luck but weekends like this shine the spotlight and make me repeatedly ask, “why me?”.
Another that kept showing up was contrast.
So many things I love have a natural contrast to them.
Drinking hot coffee on a cold morning.
Ambient music played loud.
Unassuming experiences that turn into deeply cherished memories.
Beautiful contrasts followed us all weekend:
The light and shadows around Chinati.
The diversity of people I interacted with but the togetherness I felt.
The craziness of our world around us, but the calmness of knowing I was exactly where I should be.
I really hope I have the opportunity to come back. Next time with my wife and daughter. That would be the only way I can adequately explain this to them. There is an authenticity and warmth of Marfa that can’t be described. The closest thing is the warmth of being home.
Thank you @ArtOnBlockchain and Art Blocks.
Thank you to all the amazing people from all over the world that make this space so special, even those that weren’t physically there. We felt your presence everywhere.
Thank you to my wife for allowing me to go on this adventure.
Not only was this my first Marfa journey, but I got to share it with my sister too.
A truly wonderful weekend.
Art and friendship makes the world a great place.
I’m just really grateful.
Love,
Nuk

Grateful for all the artists and patrons that make this weekend in Marfa feeling like a movie. Making deeper connections and slowing down to enjoy all the hard work the artists put into their practice.
I’m a big believer in this space and everyone in it. We came here with a budget of 15k and ended up spending the entire @fndzionaversano treasury of 50k. There was so many great events and artists who show up in the middle of the Texas desert. We see you and appreciate you and honor you with the beautiful works you are creating.
I’m just an artist who believes in this space and wants to build a permanent collection of all my peers and hopefully we can continue to do this initiative every year!
We collected many prints, physicals, paintings, sculptures, photographs, and lots of NFTs not pictured in this image. I love you fam, and most importantly thank you for the love you pour into your art.
Hopefully someday we will have a permanent building to house and display all these works. In the meantime, it will go up on the studio walls to remind us how far we have come and who we are becoming through the works we create and collect.
Thank you @artblocks_io for putting together this wonderful event for us to all come home to every year.
Coming to support the arts through @fndzionaversano, what will you exhibiting?
See you in Marfa tomorrow 🤠👽

Art is life. I could give you a million reasons why, but the beautiful thing is that I don’t have to.
If you get it, you see it everywhere.
Five years of coming to Marfa for @artblocks_io and somehow I always leave with more than I came with. I’m not even exaggerating when I say this but it’s truly special.
All the artists exhibitions were truly awesome and @glitchmarfa brought me out here to document it, what a treat.
A long journey from NYC to get to this corner of the world, to see new faces, old friends, and make new connections, some, I have a feeling will last a lifetime.
@AdamWeitsman closed out the weekend with an incredible drone show that lit up the Marfa sky. I saw it, everyone saw it. I’m sure everyone was blown away. Not to mention @lphaCentauriKid larger than life physical piece that no picture can make justice to. huge congrats! A perfect ending to a beautiful few days.
This is the kind of trip that remind me why I fell in love with art in the first place.
I’m flying back home more inspired than I’ve felt in a long time.
Thank you Marfa. I’ll see you again next year.

Four hours nonstop co-creating unique, one-of-a-kind collectible cards with all of you here in Marfa!
What a day! It was so much fun! ❤️
5 of you won special edition cards by hitting the jackpot on the print slot machine! 🎰
A HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by and participated. It was an absolute blast!
And for those who couldn’t make it to Marfa this year, I saved 3 special edition cards just for you!
I’ll raffle them off once we’ve had a little time to rest! 😅
And there’s one more surprise coming soon… 👀
THANK YOU ALL! ❤️
