51 Layers

I’ve been working in one file for months on end. Adding images, re-working them. Looking, playing, sculpting. You can see me looking for something in the Time-lapse I've published on YouTube:

51L - Working in one file for months looking for connections

Although I never know what that ‘something’ is. I spend time with the images I feel attracted to or that have something to say to me at that present time. I use images I find both on and offline, and moments, or situations I am in. Therefore, you can see me drawing my children and wife, but also, some random images that were suited in that time and space with that crowd of people. For this blueprint, I've made a layer setup with the 51 'states' from the different layers I've worked on and in on that particular file. At first, it was called 24, because I thought about making 24 different pieces from these layers, but as time passed I thought 24 pieces was very limiting, and also, seeing to the potential of what these layers can do in this Async Blueprint setup, was just mind-bending. The pieces that come out of the randomizer are just beautiful. I love the fact that I'm not being able to control what the machine does with randomizing it in this way. It feels like I'm working together with someone I already knew, but never met.

I want you to play around and have fun with this setup and be amazed by the result you can mint from the layers I've put in.

I grant both personal and commercial rights of the “51 Layers”. The license entitle owners to remix, adapt, build upon the material in any medium or format as long as attribution/credit is properly listed.

I will mint some gifs from this blueprint on SuperRare in the Future. They can be seen as part of this series, but without the freedom of IP.

Thank you for being here!

Kind Regards,
