Dear Bankless Nation,
The ways to get into cryptoart seem endless. In the Pantheon of cryptoartists we find artists who have moved from physical to digital art, digital natives, 3D artists, sculptors, AR/VR artists, illustrators, tattoo artists, designers...the list goes on. In this issue, we meet two of these artists who provide us with their vision of art and the many similarities with the post-contemporary movement reflecting on the current state of crisis in contemporary art.
Welcome to Decentralized Arts.

As a tattoo artist I came out of my shell and worked intimately with thousands of people. Through countless hours of pain and blood I created images for people who were on a journey of self discovery. The stories of this art have been woven with sharp, painful needles and a fine thread of ink and blood. I have sewn a tapestry of meaning in the fabric of human flesh. Through these stitches I have seen things I would have never imagined. My heart, my spirit and my art will never be the same.

We’re at a critical point in history. Humanity is under tremendous evolutionary pressure. The systems of centralized food production, energy, and money that enabled the rise of civilization are now collapsing under their own weight. The strategies that helped us thrive as a species now threaten to destroy us.
