Good morning friend!

I’ve been taking a lot of big steps internally as of late…so many fears and anxieties that have built up, times have been…rough…but, one of the big ones is minting…publishing, pushing out the work I do…I think I got into the mindset that everything I have to do has to be scheduled and established, weekly monthly daily ahhh, rules to be confined to. The idea of build of via marketing, building momentum, all the ideas that I though would work for me, when I forgot that the things that had given me my momentum was just me throwing out whatever whenever was on my head, the daily breathing in and out of art that I do…these new ‘good ideas and routines’ for minting and marketing just never seemed to work. Build ups have been endless fizzles…so, fuck it, more stream of mind again. Lean into the wind that is me… and I’ve got a lot of stuff to catch up on.

In the past I minted endlessly the daily projects I did, the relaxing doodles, the fun sketches, the bits of color beneath the surface of trying to be perfect, fit a mold. Then…I stopped…I think it might have been my systems overload project on KO that switched a bunch of habits in my head…I mean, 14 weeks straight of scheduled drops, 9 different collaborators, Spaces, being featured on the markets big Drops twice, and always hitting their front page, 4k views, building a metaverse gallery custom built by a friend, but…kind of a wet firecracker overall biz wise. Some collectors but, felt like a giant shrug. Everyone who came to the set loved it, people who collaborated had a blast, but…I don’t know, felt too staged, something felt right but also very wrong…

So, I’m gonna succumb to the creative wtf nots and see what happens for a while. I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of a lot, and if I go back to something that worked both creatively and internally…chaos of just swimming in it all…

And that’s why minting these instead of just endlessly thinking about it until it begins a nasty weight in the back of my head and letting it be the joy that it should be is important to me :)

Now I just gotta keep doing this and hope it works Lolol.

The pieces are each bit and pieces of ideas floating through my head, colors just the vibes I feel for the day. Automatic drawing practice the basic s curves, c curves, and straight lines, trying to make shapes I find visually pleasing. Relaxing my mind by just popping it all out there in the code that is my colors lines shapes, whatnot, lol. There’s a dialogue that goes on in my head as these come out, but those are for me alone, lol. Fun thing is that these seem to be an evolution of some practices and similar outpourings years ago that I did with different sized colored boxes which I lined up into interesting grids n stuff…have to find a pic of those somewhere(found)

So, if you like what you see check out the pieces on Teia and see what’s going on my Tezos storyline :)

RomanPunk#755 – Damianus Sanga

Born in 105 AD in Rome, Damianus Sanga is second in command of the Lost Cohort, which disappeared on campaign in Caledonia. Sanga and his comrades were whisked to an alternate dimension where they were equipped with hi-tech weapons and armor by sympathetic local tribes seeking new allies.

ID#: 755/1000 Name: Damianus Sanga Race: Roman Type: Centurion Avatar Rarity: Common WAX Rarity: Common Class: Fighter Attack: 8 Defense: 9 Speed: 8 Tagline: “Flank ’em then spank ’em!”

LORE

Date of Birth: 105 AD Place of Birth: Rome Backstory:

The nights were very short in Caledonia and Damianus Sanga very much wanted to sleep. Far beyond Hadrian’s wall, Damianus was second in command of the ragtag bunch of 300 troops known as the 8th cohort of the 9th legion. They were mostly pressed into service, rejects from society, former gladiators, freedman and criminals who were sent to the outer reaches of the Empire to take care of problems nobody else wanted to touch. They were searching for something, but none of them knew what – only their commander did. And he was fast asleep. As the only man to be completely trusted, Damianus was always standing guard while his commander slept.

This hadn’t been an easy campaign, either. Starting out as over 500, the 8th cohort had already lost nearly half its numbers to the fierce Celtic tribes frequenting the lands north of the Wall. Yet uneasily, but without hesitation, day after day the troops continued their march north into the unknown. It wasn’t until reaching a strange circle a stones, similar to the one known as Stonehenge in the province of Britannia that Damianus and his allies felt a strange feeling of calm overcome them. The commander called for the cohort to halt, and Damianus and his fellow soldiers investigated the strange monument.

In the center of the stone circle sat a large stone altar engraved with twisted Celtic symbols and pictograms. Without thinking, Damianus swung his war hammer down on the flat surface of the stone. The hammer vibrated furiously and the stone strangely began to move down, rumbling and causing the ground to shake until it disappeared below the grassy surface and seemed to drop suddenly into a void. Peering below into the black abyss, Damianus saw what appeared to be a spiraling blue light shooting closer towards him. As the light reached his eyes, a great feeling of shock overtook him and he blacked out immediately.

When he awoke, Damianus found himself staked to the ground with heavy steel wires, he could only turn his head to see hundreds of his comrades also in the same predicament. Looking up, Damianus could see a woman approaching with flaming red hair, a tight black leather suit and strange multicoloured lenses on her eyes. She was holding a strange, glowing weapon, the likes of which he had never seen before. She made a chewing motion with her mouth, looked over at Damianus, smirked and said: “Welcome to the distant future, you primitive screwhead!”

RomanPunk#754 – Louisa Capitolinus

Born in 395 AD in Rome, Louisa Capitolinus, illegitimate daughter of Emperor Theodosius I and the last Vestal Virgin, was raised in secrecy at the Temple of Jupiter. During the sack of Rome in 410 AD, Louisa escaped through an interdimensional portal where she served as a centurion in an alternate matriarchal timeline.

ATTRIBUTES

ID#: 754/1000 Name: Louisa Capitolinus Race: Roman Type: Centurion Avatar Rarity: Common WAX Rarity: Common Class: Fighter Attack: 7 Defense: 8 Speed: 9 Tagline: “You may have to fight a battle in multiple dimensions to win it.”

LORE

Date of Birth: 395 AD Place of Birth: Rome Backstory:

Louisa Capitolinus was born during turbulent times in 395 AD. Her mother, Concordia Capitolinus, was known as the last Vestal Virgin after Emperor Gratian confiscated the revenues of the order in 382 AD, effectively ending the Cult of Vesta. Concordia begged the next Emperor, Theodosius I, to reinstate the order, who demanded she sleep with him in return. For years, she refused the Emperor’s advances, yet finally submitted to him on a trip to Mediolanum. Months later, Theodosius died of a disease involving severe edema, and Concordia was left to hide in the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus to raise her child in secrecy.

Louisa and her mother lived in harmony and secrecy in the temple on Capitoline Hill until 410 AD during the famous sack of Rome. As the Visigoths looted, burned, raped and pillaged their way across the great city of Rome, an interdimensional time portal at the Temple of Jupiter opened, providing immediate access to infinite timelines. As the ravaging Goths approached, Concordia pushed her beautiful virgin daughter into the swirling abyss rather than see her violated by the invaders.

Louisa fell flat on the hard marble floor as the swirling blue portal disappeared behind her. Immediately she noticed the tiles surrounding the large chamber were clear and spotless not tarnished, chipped and stained as she remembered moments ago. Hearing women’s voices approaching from the adjacent chamber, and with nowhere to escape, Louisa rose to meet them head on. The women were dressed like soldiers, fitted with armor, capes and brandishing short swords. Both were of average height and build. “Well, well, well, lookie’ what we have here”, said the dark haired one on the left. “Another deserter!” Centurion Alexa is going to be pleased when she sees us haul you in chains!”

RomanPunk#608 – Hartwin Diefenbaker

Born in 249 AD in Colonia, Hartwin Diefenbaker is a lowly soldier from the Alemanni tribe who, when facing defeat at the Battle of Lake Benacus, cowardly fled into the nearby woods only to be taken and experimented on by aliens.

ATTRIBUTES

ID#: 608/1000 Name: Hartwin Diefenbaker Race: German Type: Soldier Avatar Rarity: Common WAX Rarity: Common Class: Fighter Attack: 7 Defense: 7 Speed: 8 Tagline: “For the first time in history, it’s gonna start rainin’ aliens.”

LORE

Date of Birth: 249 AD Place of Birth: Colonia Backstory:

Hartwin Diefenbaker never wanted to be a soldier. His father was a soldier, his brothers were soldiers and his cousins and uncles were all soldiers too. They all happen to be dead. Killed in battles against the Roman Empire. Nevertheless, Hartwin, without any option for survival in his tribe, was pressed into service as a rearguard soldier under the command of the army of Aureolus.

Merely existing was a major challenge for Hartwin, whose effeminate personality and cowardly behaviour did not suit the military life. Battle after battle, he managed to remain safely behind braver troops, and as long as Aureolus kept winning battles, he was able to stay alive. However, all that changed after his commander was defeated at the siege of Mediolanum by the emperor Claudius Gothicus. Hartwin managed to once again escape north to the hills where his remaining tribesmen were camped. After learning of the death of their commander, the remaining troops refused to flee back to their homeland, choosing to stand their ground and were soon decimated at the Battle of Lake Benacus.

Hartwin, always the clever battle evader, managed to sneak away at the height of battle and flee towards Tridentum. While running through the mountainous woods in the dead of night, he suddenly found the ground beneath him shake and a crevasse open. After falling into the crack and sliding for what felt like minutes, his head slammed into a rock and he passed out.

Hartwin awoke to find himself lying under impossibly bright lights, with his body fully immobilized. He heard a voice utter the words, “subject has awakened”, and was alarmed to see 3 blue faces with sparkling blue eyes staring down at him with grim expressions. One alien remarked with a smirk, “today is your lucky day, yellow man. Now you get to see the world for how it really is.”
