Grogu is the cutest thing to come out of Star Wars since that sexually charged kiss between the magic light sword guy and his sister! You must have one for your nerdy collection even though your partner said "no more toys, you're 32 years old!" Everywhere has sold out, but you find something in the dumpster out the back of Forbidden Planet. It's not great but it's good enough to feel like you achieved something today! Plus it was free so you'll only be sleeping on the sofa for a few nights!

Selected from over 6000 works this piece will be presented @ NFT_Liverpool in June 2022 'Mais la voix me console et dit: 'Garde tes songes: Les sages n'en ont pas d'aussi beaux que les fous!' Charles Baudelaire As a francophone, voix (voice) has always meant more to me than it’s English translation because of its homonym in French which is voie (way, path). I choose La Voix as title to this work, to express both the voice as an energy emitted from the mouth, and a way or path; a channel of communication. Like my other pieces in the 5-HT Fast Track to Happiness collection, the images conjured come from a digital alchemy that took place when I introduced elements of generative art to the process, so the results are machine generated rather than designed. I didn't know what the render would present and was most intrigued by the first frame where I see an unintended self-portrait with mouth wide open to disgorge an ebullient stream of consciousness. I recognise myself in this image, the obsessive solitary creative absorbed in my work, with only the radio/podcasts as company, pirate radios call us silent listeners. In Aboriginal culture there is a belief that the voice is for healing or singing rather than communication, and what I’ve come to realise is the voice is also an essential channel to express the energy within us.

My auction submission for The Sol Army's Gala curated by JeromeNFT.

On February 17th 2006, Noam Galai took a picture of himself screaming. He posted it to his Flickr account and called his self-portrait, “Screaming for Help.” People liked it. They really liked it. Some were inspired. Inspired enough to steal it. After many thousands of versions have been found all around the world, it's now known as “the Stolen Scream.” It is considered one of the most stolen photographs of all time. Today, leveraging the power of blockchain and NgraphT's new digital identity platform, Noam is reclaiming his likeness and original artwork with a unique NFT collection.
