About this work — 01, 10, 11... and then it gets complicated. Following the sell-out of my first print (Pokémon: The Original NFT), I once again enlisted the ink-stained legends at K2 Studio — known for printing the visual dreams (and nightmares) of folks like Harland Miller and Stik. This time, however, we decided to go deeper. Nerdier. Shinier. Enter: Binary Counting — a celebration of symmetry, simplicity, and the sublime absurdity of computers speaking in ones and zeroes. This piece involved 18 individual layers of screenprint — yes, eighteen — plus a lovingly mischievous touch of copper leaf, applied to the disk’s metal slider by human hands, not robots. (Sorry, AI overlords.) Copper, for those not familiar, is the temperamental rockstar of the metal leaf world — prone to tarnish, difficult to tame, and stunning when sealed just right. Like a diva, it demands special treatment and resists consistency… meaning each piece is slightly different. A beautiful byproduct of analogue chaos. Behind the artwork lies a meditation on the evolution of digital language. From punch cards to Python. From switch-flipping to Siri. Beneath every dazzling UI and buttery-smooth swipe is a simple binary heartbeat: 0s and 1s, humming along like the Morse code of our modern lives. Apple — yes, that Apple — gets a subtle nod here too. A company that’s turned command lines into touchscreens and complexity into visual candy. This piece is a visual tribute to that strange loop: from simplicity to complexity and back again, with a copper crown as punctuation. Each print comes wrapped in acid-free paper and sealed in a custom black tube like it’s been extracted from the digital catacombs. And as always: a handmade certificate of authenticity crafted from a real floppy disk, because nothing says “you own this” like magnetic media that once carried an MS-DOS boot sector. This one's for the quiet nerds, the loud coders, and anyone who’s ever felt the hum of beauty behind a blinking cursor.
