“Today, we raise our shield to protect a foundational part of the crypto community. Alongside OpenSea and A16z Crypto, we are launching a $6 million legal defense fund for NFT creators. Creatives can now stand up to misguided actions from the SEC.”

On its officialwebsite, Stand With Crypto says that the fund aims to legally defend creators against “public policy failures and bad-faith attacks on those looking to build on blockchain technology.”

“This partnership is about defending artists and creators who seek to harness the power of blockchain technology while galvanizing the crypto community to advocate for our collective rights


Artists, creators, and builders who have been contacted by the SEC or who are concerned about potential litigation due to their use of blockchain technology can apply for representation.”

Coinbaselaunched the Stand With Crypto advocacy group in August 2023 to help the digital assets industry focus on directly engaging with lawmakers and the legislative process to ensure the future of crypto in the US.

The River of Emeralds
Golden conditions at one of my favorite locations in the Rockies. The light, the colors, the textures; what more can you ask for? I just loved the way this river flowed into the sunset and the mountains in the background. It's rare you find a scene as perfect as this one. But when you do, you have to take advantage of it.

Genesis
JosĂ© Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
