Alpha Centauri Kid (ACK) is a multi-disciplinary artist known for his signature minimalistic glitch art that has taken the crypto community by storm.  He entered the space in 2021 and has one of the most esteemed collector bases, including Punk 6529, VVD, Anonymoux, and many more. A humble servant of The Muse, ACK obeys her will at all costs. His main purpose is to make you feel something (often pain) while experiencing his art. He achieves this through the clever use of tools available to web3 creators and does it with a swagger unique only to him. From faking his death on the blockchain to the most elaborate color study that captivated the entire art market for a month. You never quite know what he'll do next. ACK  has cemented his spot in blockchain history and, in my opinion, will be named one of the greatest artists of our time, and today, you get to hear his story.We cover everything from his first minted (NFT) Elon Musk meme to his experience debuting The Muse silkscreen prints at Christie's. We also chat through scene creation, the challenges of incorporating music into his art, and his legendary performance piece, "The Great Color Study." And so much more.Boonafide Links:Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoonaETHWebsite: https://www.boonafide.comAlpha Centauri Kid Links:Twitter: https://twitter.com/lphaCentauriKidAll links: https://linktr.ee/alphacentaurikidArtworks discussed:"Elon, God of memes."Link: https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x60f80121c31a0d46b5279700f9df786054aa5ee5/314403"i promise i can change"Link: https://superrare.com/artwork-v2/i-promise-i-can-change-36334 "The Great Color Study"Link: https://opensea.io/collection/ackcolorstudy"The Muse" Christie's Contemporary Day Sale AuctionLink: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6398293"She doesn't NEED you"Link: https://foundation.app/@lphaCentauriKid/foundation/47600NFTs used in this podcast:Intro music by Sean Mundy: https://twitter.com/seanmundyphoto"Artists Garden" by Samantha Cavet- https://twitter.com/samanthacavetThis podcast is for entertainment purposes only, and nothing we discuss should be relied upon for investment or financial advice.Boona & guests may own NFTs discussed in this podcast.Support the show

gmThis one is a special one for me. Farokh was one of the first people I found in Clubhouse in early 2021 and have consistently looked up to him since. Farokh is a serial entrepreneur who has been building for over 10 years before he found the web3 space. He is the co-founder of Rug Radio, which is a decentralized media company that harnesses web3 tools to empower both creators and listeners. He also is a participant in his own eco-system and is a co-host of the gm show every morning where he, OSF, and Mando cover the latest in NFTs, and macro-economic conditions, and host people & teams that are building the future of this space. You're in for a real treat, this conversation is a good one.Main points:Background + intro into web3The start of the gm showA detailed breakdown of Rug Radio & problems they're solvingHow he handles being an iconic figure in web3What Farokh likes to collectWhat he's looking for in the next iteration of web3Boonafide Links:Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoonaETHWebsite: https://www.boonafide.comFarokh & Rug Radio links:Twitter:  https://twitter.com/farokhRug Radio LInks: https://linktr.ee/rugradioThe gm show:  https://linktr.ee/gmnftsIntro Music:Sean Mundy: https://twitter.com/seanmundyphotoIntro Artwork:"We BleU a little" by https://twitter.com/sleepy_stefSupport the show

gm everybody,Y'all are in for a TREAT this week. I had the pleasure of having a conversation with the wildly talented Zaid. His work is vibrant, colorful, and psychedelic, and it truly stands alone.  Zaid has been creating art long before web3 came about, and it was exciting to unpack the motives, attitudes, and beliefs that drive him to create the work he does.Some of the main points we discuss:Collecting physical vs. digital artEntry & transition into the web3 spaceThe difference between scene & style piecesSome Friends AlphaSuper Rare, both the good and badBeing inspired by others' work vs. tearing it downBoonafide Links:Website: https://www.boonafide.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/BoonaETHZaid Links:Website: https://www.ruffhousearts.com/Twitter:  https://twitter.com/JruffhouseSuper Rare: https://superrare.com/zaidkirdseyIntro Music:Sean Mundy: https://twitter.com/seanmundyphotoIntro background:Samantha Cavet: https://twitter.com/samanthacavetSupport the show

gm,I am stoked to introduce this week's guest, Mae.  She is a 3D artist hailing from Australia who creates the comfiest landscapes of worlds that don't exist, but everyone wishes they did. Mae has been creating all of her life as a creative outlet and meditation tool. Her 3D journey began by creating and selling in-game assets for the sims; you can already see how the world of web3 and NFTs made complete sense. After a few years, she combined her love for art with the tools of 3D to make the comfiest fictional landscapes on the internet today. Some of the main topics we chat through:-Experience surrounding financial markets-An artists supply-Strategy and focus during the bear-What collectible NFT we'd both want to own, and why-We round it off with Mae's physical art collectionI'm so excited for you to hear this one!Boonafide Socials:Website: https://www.boonafide.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/BoonaETHMae Socials:Website: https://www.eniosta.com/linksTwitter: https://twitter.com/enixstaSupport the show
