selam!
son 15 günüm şöyle geçti; son ms atağı sonrası hala sekelli olan bacağım bir an tutmadı ve merdivenlerden yuvarlanıp yaralandım.
daha sonra tomografi çektirmem gerekiyordu; ancak ne yazık ki çoğu şey gibi tomografi için kullanılan opak maddeye de alerjim varmış. birkaç gün içerisinde üç kez anafilaksiye girdim ve geceyi yoğun bakımda geçirdim. yalan söylemeyeceğim, ms'le ve diğer otoimmün hastalıklarla yaşamaya alıştım sayılır. ama aniden anaflaksiye girmek ve nefes alamayarak ölmeye bu kadar yaklaşmak beni çok korkuttu. bunun olabileceğini biliyordum ama hazır değilmişim. neyse ki hepsinde eşim yanımdaydı, saniyeler içinde müdahale edebildi ama devamlı yalnız olsam epipen yeterli olacak mıydı diye düşünüp duruyorum.
kullandığım antihistaminiklerin miktarı arttı ve bir de mast hücre stabilizatörü eklendi. böylece günde almam gereken ilaç sayısı da 21e yükselmiş oldu 😅 doktorum idiopatik anaflaksiler yaşamamam için stresten uzak durmamı ve biraz hava almamı önerdi. yapacak başka bir şey de yok zaten.
gelecek ay ms tedavim için 6 ayda bir iv olarak alınan ocrevus'a geçebileceğim, böylece ilaçlarım azalacak ve semptomlarımın da kontrol altına alınabileceğine inanıyoruz, yani, umarım.
yine de bu süreçte 1 yılın sonunda ürettiğim ilk fiziksel eserim bitti ve çerçeveleyip duvara asabildim! okuluma devam ediyorum, sınavlarıma hazırlanıyorum ve sakin, stabil günler geçirmeye çalışıyorum.
umarım sizler de iyisinizdir! hepinizi seviyorum, buralarda olacağım.
görüşmek üzere 🖤
Wow, did not expect this, thank you for sharing!
You stand in the fog, unbreakable.
In @shoneec's Survivor, a figure holds its sword and nothing can bring it down. No red charts, no rugpulls, not even the death of PFPs.
Don't let the enemies of crypto take your tokens. Survive, till the end.

Day 7 of tagging @osseneth until they see my art.
"THE STRUGGLE" is an interactive piece that can be horizontally infinitely scrolled, and zoomed in/out, and take a snapshot of current screen by right clicking and saving. Works on all platforms/devices

Day 6 of tagging @osseneth until they see... someone else's art.
Today I wanted to highlight some other people on my timeline whom I've noticed have had to deal with some struggles.
@pan_danil is one of the OG members of this space, and someone who has helped dozens, if not hundreds of artists get a footing in this space. AGAH auction house was so welcoming and was my first community here.
@Awful_Eye is someone who has recently gone blind because of illness, and so I wanted to highlight their work. I don't know if they can use this platform at this point, but I'm still sharing.
@eissakilo I don't know personally, but from reading posts, seems to be someone going through extremely harsh challenges in life, and has been through to so much awful stuff.
If I can get anyone to look at these people and their work I've succeeded. I've attached a piece from each of them.
That's how most "blue chip" artist in this space was built. Not by asking other artists, but by collectors with deep pockets who decide who are "the good ones". Nobody asks artists for anything.
6 years in this space, I have been outspoken to my own detriment countless times. Blocked by big names in the space, shoved aside because I went against the grain.
Talked down on platforms extracting from artists without giving anything in return.
Talked about collectors exploiting artists. Forcing artists to make certain work, making stuff to "pay them back" etc.
And there has been many of us that have been vocal all these years, and all of that for what? So it falls on deaf ears once again and be forgotten once some money starts flowing into space.
All we get in the end for speaking up is the negatives, being shunned, not collected, blacklisted etc. It is very very tiring.
But I will still speak up and make the art that I want to make instead what others want me to make. I've been posting digital art online for 21+ years and I will keep doing so, no matter what this space does.

As someone who has stayed in their lane their entire art career aka created whatever the fuck I want , I often laugh at some the things that go on in this space.
The argument “art is subjective” is such a cope in this space to justify some of the bullshit that gets sold. Anyone can spend their money on anything they want, even ai slop but just because you pay for it and pay a good amount for it, it doesn’t make it good art.
I’ll even shoot a shot at myself, just because I’ve spent 5 + years on a piece now it doesn’t mean it’s good. I don’t want the time spent on the piece to be the thing that makes people think it’s amazing, I want people to take a deeper look at the intricacies, the colors and ideas that make the piece come together.
You know the saying money can’t un-lame you applies here to a certain degree. The truth is there is only a handful of collectors in this space who are actually patrons of the arts, who collect with good intentions & always look for the deeper meanings within the works. Most “collectors” in this space lack good taste & partly it’s not their fault since most started collection in 21. But you can tell who has taken the time to learn and who just thinks they can get away by buying the next hype thing.
At the end of the day as an artist you can complain or you can remind yourself why you even make art in the first place. Yes i understand it is the dream of most of us to be able to make a living making art but that ultimately should be a by product. First & foremost should be creating because it’s the thing that makes you happy, the thing that drives you to be a better human or simply because it’s the thing that keeps you alive & sane.
You are the driver of your destiny.

there’s a wave of artists that have no idea that this existed with AGAH. It was a short few years but damn i wish it could’ve lived long enough to keep impacting artists’ lives.
As an artist, I want to see a space where art matters more than connections, where talented artists aren’t overlooked just because they’re not part of the right circles.
I’ve seen incredible artists leave this space simply because they weren’t getting seen. And I’m genuinely sad for every single one of them. They had to leave because they needed to pay their rent and bills.
I love what I do. I’ve dedicated years of my life to art, and I want to make a living from it and build a future for my children.
I’m not asking for special treatment. I just want a fair chance, and I believe every artist deserves one.

Here I am, speaking as an artist. I’m tired of seeing artists at the bottom of the crypto pyramid, especially when it comes to 1/1 artworks.
The entire ecosystem we’ve built revolves around trading volume, speculation, and market activity rather than culture. You flip an artwork as a “collector,” and you’re rewarded with platform airdrops, points, or incentives. Meanwhile, I can barely name a single meaningful reward system designed for creators that isn’t already a relic of the past.
We’ve built an ecosystem fueled by greed and the anxiety of missing out, where the circulation of art is rewarded more than its creation.
And yes, this includes platforms like the ones you mentioned. We’ve financialized art without cultivating the culture around it.
That’s one of the fundamental problems with this space: artists are left struggling while others continue to generate income from the work they create.
I don’t enjoy watching it either.
