Andy Warhol: Forefather of PFP Culture

This is just my view and my opinion, it might be a hot take but I see issues within the current art culture & web3. You don’t have to agree but NFTs and PFPs are part of the reason why true art is being misunderstood and watered down. It is conditioning us to undervalue the true artists out there.

AI = Art Imposter

Art is a deeply human expression of creativity, intention, and emotion. It is a reflection of our experiences, perspectives, and the struggles we face in the world.
