The app has a very well-designed tips section.
If it had been built on Nostr, it would have been perfect.

Testing the waters: besides Bitcoin (on-chain + Lightning), would anyone be interested in paying with #Monero?
Full transparency: with physical art, complete privacy isn't possible (tracked shipping, destination address). But payment stays private: no chargebacks, no bank fees, no exchange intermediation.
If you're interested or have experience with #XMR for physical purchases, let me know. Otherwise, I'll stick with BTC/Lightning 😄🫂🎨

Sometimes we experience a moment of happiness without even realising it.
Then our memory returns to those moments, and only then do we realise that we were happy.
As an artist, this happens to me every time I finish a painting; at that moment, I feel that mixture of sadness and melancholy that makes me realise that, just a moment before, I was feeling happy.
All those hours spent in front of the canvas, that silent dialogue with colours and shapes… all that time becomes a ‘happy world’ that exists only whilst you’re living it.
Once it’s finished, you can’t go back to it, and perhaps it is precisely this impossibility of returning that gives the melancholy its weight and the happiness its confirmation.

Nostr and Bitcoin taught me a simple, hard lesson:
self-sovereignty is not an ideal, it’s a necessity.
For an artist, it means this:
if you don’t control your spaces, your audience, your work, you’re just renting your future.
Services that spoon-feed you look convenient, but they make you dependent.
And dependency always comes with a bill.
Rules change, platforms disappear, you get silenced — and you’re left standing still, even if you did everything right.
Being self-sovereign is harder, less comforting.
But it’s the only way to build something that doesn’t collapse when someone else decides to turn off the lights.

What does failure mean to an artist?
It’s when I finish a painting and show it to you, and that painting doesn’t move you even half as much as it moved me whilst I was creating it – that’s a real failure for me.

Hello, my friends 🫂🎨
I'm writing from where I'm taking a break, and while relaxing, I've had a moment to reflect...
Is it better to be rich and sad or poor and happy?
But perhaps it's not a question of choosing between two extremes.
No one would really want to be poor, and sadness can't be cured with money.
The real question is another: what is enough for me?
I've sold quite a few paintings on Nostr; I've seen months when orders came in and months when there was silence. I've never been either rich or poor in an absolute sense.
But I know that when I paint something that feels true — the right light, the right silence on the canvas — that feeling is priceless.
And no one can buy it.
So perhaps the answer is: I don't want to be either rich and sad or poor and happy.
I'd like to have just enough to paint without anxiety, and I'd like what I do to make sense to me before it makes sense to the market.
The rest is just noise.

Anyone who sells ‘absolute security’ through complex set-ups is selling illusions.
In my view, security is a process, not an end state.
Perfect security, if you think about it, is the enemy of sufficient security.
Bitcoin security should give you freedom, not become your cage.
I sell paintings for Bitcoin because I believe in a certain idea of sovereignty, independence and value.
If managing security becomes so oppressive that it prevents me from living my artistic life peacefully, then Bitcoin has betrayed its own promise.
I’m not looking for perfection.
I’m looking for consistency.
And peace of mind.
So for now, stick your hardware wallets, multi-sig set-ups and advice on complex passphrases wherever you like.

But after this whole mess with Coldcard, how can I still sell my paintings for Bitcoin?
How can I stand by this radical decision when people will make fun of me because the profits from the paintings I sell could go up in smoke?
How do I explain it to those who’ll hear this news and jump to the conclusion that Bitcoin isn’t safe?
I already have a ready answer to all this:
“Imagine if a news story came out about a specific model of car with a problem with the ignition system. Would that mean that all cars are dangerous? No. It means that that particular model had a manufacturing fault which has been identified and can be fixed.”
But I don’t think that will be enough.
I’m absolutely devastated.

Nostr doesn't have an algorithm looking for you while you're gone.
No "reactivate your account," no "you've been inactive for 90 days."
You hold your keys. You hold your identity. Disappear for months if you need to.
Come back when you want — your contacts, your posts, your network, still there.
Real digital freedom isn't just speaking.
It's also being able to stay silent, without consequences.

New painting, new challenge.
For the first time I'm working with nighttime light.
American roadside diners, open past midnight, have always fascinated me.
This time the subject comes from the TV series FROM — a place you can't leave, where light is the only certainty.
Time, silence, light: my three recurring themes, for the first time in the dark.

A year ago I wrote that Nostr gave me what Twitter never did — not numbers, but people who cared enough to buy a painting.
That hasn't changed. What changes is the rhythm. Some months the studio fills with color and conversations. Some months it's just me and the canvas, waiting for the next one to arrive.
Both are part of it.

"What has surprised me most about Westerners is that they sacrifice their health to make money, and then spend that money trying to regain their health.
They think so much about the future that they forget to live in the present, to the extent that they end up living neither the present nor the future.
They live as if they were never going to die, and die as if they had never lived."

The only artistic community I know of is that of Bitcoin Art Magazine, though it’s on Telegram:

On Nostr, the artists have disappeared and post very little.

They say everyone gets the timeline they deserve.
On Nostr, even more so.
And I’m liking mine less and less.
Please, my friends, less propaganda, more kindness. 🙏🫂🎨
