CONCEPT
The most important concept of this project is leaving my mark in spacetime. Ever since I was a kid I was fascinated by history and reading accounts from people of that time or viewing their art. I wanted to join this amazing human tradition in my own way and time, and what better way than by hammering the Ethereum blockchain for a year with artwork.

It feels like the 2022 version of cave painting where all I’m trying to do is scream, I was here! I generally don’t follow a style and just follow my feelings that day.


RULES

• I must create an NFT every day for at least one year
• The date must be present in the visual work somewhere
• There are no rules about tools to be used or visual style to follow
• Attributes remain the same day to day
• I must include a description for each day
• I must include a Link with each day
• If I do not mint before Midnight UTC, the work is tagged Time: Imperfect
• I can amend rules as needed
• Have some MF fun!!!

TOOLS
iPhone, Figma, Canva, Womp, Midjourney, Dalle, Stable Diffusion, Photoshop, Illustrator, Glitché, Procreate, Coinbase Wallet, Manifold


LESSONS LEARNED

• You only get to deploy your Smart Contract once. Make sure you use the name you want. My contract is called “j4ck” when I’d prefer it to be called Existence & Immortality at this point.
  
• Having rules is the key to a daily project, in my opinion.
• Don’t mix artwork in a single smart contract. This was my original idea and now I wish I hadn’t done that.
