RE: Dark Katharsisdrill & the K-drill coin... will it ever happen?
Great news! We want 100% @katharsisdrill. As an artist, you shouldn't hold anything back, right?
I just coincidentally watched a documentary about Robert Mapplethorpe and wasn't aware, that his perfectly arranged beauty photography wouldn't had been possible without his dark (homo-) sexualized pictures of fisting and such.
However, I like the idea of doing a Dark Katharsisdrill token (although I see the point, that you would have to use Ethereum or Waves to realize it right now). It could be used as a reward system for commenting or sharing your regular posts and then in return, holder of the token would be able to get access to the explicit content. Or could get a postcard or whatever.
You could even tokenize every page of Phill (in an edition of 1-10) and maybe someone pays a lot of crypto to collect all tokenized pages of the comic as well. I know, this might be contrary to the creative-commons idea in a way, but it's rather like collecting some scarce digitally signed design studies. Although, the final product could be nothing special and broadly available, the sketches, the designer made, would still be something special.
It is actually interesting how the social environment plays a part in what you are doing... I am not sure really, so sometimes I need to set up an experiment. The whole Katharsisdrill project grew from such an experiment. At that point it was making free art, giving away the copyright and be anonymous - quite a hurdle for me. Now it is about how this new internet public creates intolerable consensus - not a new phenomenon really, but instant and very direct.
I have been thinking of something like a way to buy shares in an artists ouvre, a bit like Patreon or kickstarter. Maybe gives you a discount on things that are sold like merchendize, little print series or a printed comic-book. Not really sure yet, but it could be fun to make a simple prototype.
I didn't actually care too much about social environment and consensus in my art until now, but it's really an interesting sphere to bother about.
However, I will watch your projects closely and surely will find a lot of inspiration. I'd also be interested in owning one (or more) of your digital works (in a tokenized form). I'm sure, they would be a very good investment.
I have been notoriously oblivious to social expectations, but no human being is completely unaffected and that was suddenly a concern or maybe more like an revelation for me. That things are pushed much more around on a social media than on printed media or if you exhibit at galleries.
