Hey Reader, Time for a new chapter.
From line drawings, paintings, murals, screen prints ... now transformed into an infinite city made of lines of code. 🌃👨💻
It's insane to see a system built around my visual language. This is something I would've only dreamed of years ago, but now it's real. Three years in the making, this new chapter of Cities will finally open in 4 days. I hope the work captures some of your own memories of your life in different cities, and I'd love to hear what you see / feel. Share your city memory here.
This is not artificial intelligence. It's a hand-coded system. This type of art has been around for 50 years. But only recently it has been brought onchain. The project lives at the intersection of memory, motion, and urban design. It captures the rhythm of streets, the randomness of grids, and the feeling of moving through spaces both real and imagined. Some works are inspired by actual cities, others are pure imagination — dreamscapes shaped by intuition and code. The Italy chapter from April was just a warm up, this new chapter is the main attraction. Key details: If you’ve ever wanted to collect a city of your own, now’s your chance. But there's only 350 available.
This collection is special to me for a multitude of reasons, and the fact that it's finally out in the open and happening makes me so excited for what the future of Cities brings. |

Hey Reader, Sharing a process breakdown today... This weekend is the closing days for the Cities at dot+grid gallery. Before the work comes down off the walls, I wanted to share how the collection came to be, and what it means to me. Before Cities was a collection or a gallery show, it was an idea in a mural ... just my hand and a paint marker. These pieces capture my journey of trying to break free and find my way through the grid as a neurodivergent / colorblind artist. Hand painted murals...
