The market sells it. The gallery keeps it.

The art outlives the marketplace.

I used to think I was only buying art I liked. Hundreds of pieces in, it looks like something else. Every choice here was instinct, and instinct repeated enough times stops being random and starts being a shape. Taken all together the collection is a kind of personal mandala: my unconscious, showing through a network of digital art I never planned but somehow always meant. It is the closest thing I have to a self-portrait, and other people painted every piece of it.

New here? No wallet or account needed, just curiosity. Start here for the whole thing in plain English, skim the common myths, or follow any gold dotted word and pull the thread.
