TLDR;
A Collector-Created Comic using blockchain, storytelling, AI, and music. Collectors and I will tell the story of Gaia in a future where humanity is becoming extinct due to their inferiority to AI. After finishing book one, collectors and I will sell it online and in stores! Creating an art and blockchain backed product.
MISSION & IMPACT
Once the comic is selling, 50% of proceeds will go towards funding psychedelic and mycoremediation research, both of which I am profoundly inspired by. These are the areas I believe I am meant to make massive amounts of impact, and I want to use my art and my platform to do so. I have a large network of researchers, entrepreneurs, and professors who are at the forefront of this research, and I look forward to helping them in any way I can.
COLLECTORS
Not only will collectors receive the limited editions of each song from the 'Wide Eye Feels' album and have fun in the Comic Zone, but they will also have the opportunity to participate in the Wide Feels DAO. 20% of comic sales will go into a shared wallet where the collectors and I will be able to vote on where funds are distributed, creating even more impact! The DAO will be managed through proposals and votes. When the time comes, we can decide on the best way to organize that not only supports the greater good but also inspires new ways of distributing funds.
LONG TERM
This is a long-term project, and my desire is to see its impact grow on an exponential level year after year. After we have had success with Book 1, we will go on to create Books 2-7. Ultimately, this project excites me. I haven't seen something done like this before, and it's also a way for me to allow my art to live beyond its release date (April 9th, 2023). The album impacted me so much that I want it to live on to impact others, not just through the art itself, but through what it is able to facilitate in the psychedelic research space.
MY PASSION
I often question why I am here on this earth; it seems like every day this question comes to mind. When I really sit with myself and feel the depths of what it means to be alive, I always come back down to the way my art impacts and the idea of healing. I believe the strongest form of healing, outside of music, is psilocybin. This fungal organism has changed my life and continues to change my life in ways I can't always put into words. After growing my first batch of mushrooms and taking the medicine, I fell head over heels in love. Since then, I've been able to share the medicine with loved ones and also discover other avenues within the fungal world, mycoremediation, for example. Right now, the fungal world is bubbling up, and I believe that within the next several years, using fungus to treat various illnesses (human and planetary) will be more common than not.
