Crypto Art Friday Challenge #5

A weekly creative challenge and digital art celebration.

Sep 8, 2023

This week’s theme: Water

Crypto Art Friday is a dynamic, community-driven art initiative that sparks creativity in the world of digital art curated by Eric P. Rhodes. Every Friday, a new theme is announced in this newsletter and you’ll have one week to craft and share your own, distinctive interpretation.

This theme was suggested by Fereshteh Farmand

This week’s theme is courtesy of Fereshteh Farmand, a full time visual artist with more than 20 years’ professional experience as a painter, illustrator and muralist! Submit your theme and if yours gets selected, then your name and link to your website will be included in next week’s newsletter.

How to participate

You have until Thursday, September 14, 2023 at 11:59 PM EST to submit your artwork. You share your creations on X by replying to this post which will be automatically cataloged on JOYN.

Note: it takes about 15 minutes to show up on JOYN after you comment on X.

How the submissions will be used

From these weekly submissions, I’ll curate a selection of 12 artists to be included in a showcase on JOYN where you'll also have the opportunity to sell your artwork. I will promote the winners on my X account and in the Creative Bytes newsletter.

Additionally, I'll be curating for exclusive drops on Nifty Gateway through Crypto Art Friday as an independent publisher/curator on NG. I will focus on amplifying new and emerging artist by curating drops on one of the more exclusive digital art platforms.

Share Your Artwork

Whispers of Anarchy

In the pulsating heartbeats of rebellion, "Whispers of Anarchy" rise, challenging the established order and championing the spirit of unbridled freedom. This curation is not merely an assembly; it's a revolution in art form, urging viewers to question, to defy, and to embrace the raw power of unshackled expression.

Curated by Eric P. Rhodes, each artwork in this collection is a manifesto. Some murmur of streets painted with the colors of resistance, where every graffiti and mural becomes a symbol of defiance. Others roar with the voices of the marginalized, breaking the chains of conformity and societal expectations.

Dive into the chaos, and find the beauty in the breakdown.

I hope I added value to your day. ☀️
