After spending nearly two years attempting to get MakersPlace to do a feature on my work, they sent me a message announcing they were shutting down. That’s just wonderful. Two years of wasted time and effort. There are other marketplaces, but how do I know that one day they won’t close their doors as well? […]

Potential Guinness World Record
Trithemian Web 11 will be used to raise funds for the Zoe Foundation. Fifty percent of the net profits will be donated to this 501 (c3) non-profit organization working to save the tiger before extinction. This cryptogram will be sold at auction. It has the potential to set a Guinness World Record. Stay tuned for […]
Go Big
Size: A Consideration When I began my fascination with linear graphics I kept my designs small so one could hold them in their hands to read the elongated lettering. My resin sculptures were also small so people could hold them or easily move around them. Years ago, before the advent of NFT’s, a friend suggested […]
MakersPlace
MakersPlace MakersPlace has recently invited me to be a creator on their juried NFT marketplace. This is a new marketing opportunity, but the learning curve looks to be a little steep. I’ve been reviewing their website thoroughly, but I know I’m going to have quite a few questions for their support team. I’ll post an […]
Second Thoughts

They enable anyone to create, in many cases, astounding pieces with no training. If a person can read instructions they can create generative art and publish it on one or more […]

ABC Broadcast: NFT – Enter the MetaverseBeeple: Creator of Everyday’s “…make people much more connected, a part of the art.” That was my goal from the beginning. I want people to interact with my work […]
October Update
October Update I have completed the design of Trithemian Web One. As I explained on the opening page, that is not the title of the piece. Now I have to make a decision on the print medium. I have ordered a 20″ x 20″ LUMACHROME. This is supposed to be the ultimate print on Lucite. […]
T1 Update
T1 Update – 07/29/2021 I am still working on enciphering the Trithemian One containers. After that is complete I will have one of those containers printed. Since this is very contemporary work I’m leaning toward a print on Lucite or metal. I may have to do several tests. I will then check on framing options […]
