fxhash turns one

Working with text on GEN XYZ Das Occult led me to fooling around with an ascii type project while I worked on those pfps. Gradually that project morphed into this strange hybrid of indie posters, zodiac killer messages and what AI might do to the whole thing. If it were unleashed on it. This collection - I prefer to call my art a collection - includes some palettes inspired by influential fxhash projects as well as mixes of my own.

Themes here can be pretty dark. I've struggled with suicidal ideation in the past and while it seems like it might be a faux pas to put the words suicide and death in these works, I felt I needed to stay true to me and the darkness that tends to walk side by side with the sunny man I often appear to be.

If you struggle with similar issues, please go and speak to someone. It has helped me immensely.

fxhash asked everyone to try and make some donations to worthy causes.

I chose Processing Foundation - since their code work has been so helpful to this community. And to Tezos Ukraine. Because the war there goes beyond the borders of Ukraine and the outcome will have an impact on our global society. If Putin were to succeed... Well he won't with our help.
