Question.What differentiates Base from Zora from Optimism? 

Everyday artists out there want to know. They’re getting lost in the L2 sauce. The Medici drop was cool didn’t help win favor from many “smaller” artists out there.

My DMs are full of frustrated talented people who are afraid to say anything out loud

She/her 
Talking *@! In /extracurriculars reminiscing in /gen-x and curating in /trish

I hate d sounding impatient and negative but I’m feeling impatient and negative. If curation and discoverability aren’t improved stat, artists aren’t going to mint. 

There the free mint is awesome for music and content. Not great for visual artists who want their work valued. They need to be SEEN and not lost 2/

working on making the curation and discoverability better! it's going to be a bit choppy as we figure that out, but confident we will get there. 

and on differences - I think they'll all have unique cultures AND all have lots of overlap. and think that's ok! in the long term, OP + Base + Zora = Superchain (one chain)

I think it’s an important question do you all want visual artists a part of your ecosystem? I believe Zora does. But it’s ok if the answer is no too. The community just needs to know 

The Medici drop was amazing but it wasn’t a great look coming from some other perspectives. 

I see both sides. I needed to share

Excessive hype $ celebration around free mints and inexpensive open editions. Much of which won’t  serve regular artists in any similar way + those with the biggest bags made bank and absorbed Fridays ration of liquidity. 

Of course I’m being facetious but also I feel for them. Yesterday didn’t feel good to many

@trish I’m out the loop, why are other visual artists upset ?

always want folks to share!

and yes - absolutely want visual artists and art of all kinds on base. deekay was just one piece - way more will be created this summer (and beyond) and I'm so excited to see what folks start doing. 

here to support however I can 💛

i like internet (◕‿◕)♡ riotgoools.com | veryinter.net/person | nf.td/elle | alt: @elle | very internet person channel: /vip

yes it's nice to see! 

btw i tried to show brian this on twitter. don't know if he saw but i just hope he doesn't think i'm trolling him 😅 i drew it when milady twitter was trying to get him to put on a milady pfp. thought it would be fun/appropriate for it to be on base https://warpcast.com/riotgoools/0x60b247

has def been awesome to see brian minting and amplifying folks. i've been doing the same. and i've been inspired by how much organic creativity is bubbling up (and getting seen and minted).

still day one in the history of base - excited to continue supporting creativity of all kinds 💛

i've been hearing similar things from artists too about the medici drop and them feeling like the status quo coming in again rather than a fresh opportunity for all 🤷🏻‍♀️ but i did notice @barmstrong minting/shouting out a couple smaller things too so there's some visible effort at least
