Show notes

NoGood joins to discuss his journey from childhood drawing and graphic design to developing one of Bitcoin’s most distinctive visual styles. We get into cypherpunk aesthetics, Japanese street culture, creating the Citadel Dispatch artwork, and what AI-generated images mean for artists, authenticity, and digital provenance. Then we discuss his limited edition self published book, building No Good Radio as a 24/7 Nostr-powered stream, accepting zaps, integrating open protocols into his website, and why physical art matters in an increasingly digital world.
