These are all the original ink drawings from my sketchbook when I was developing the Portent Project. The paintings, videos, and animations based on this series have shown in galleries and online and will be included in the forthcoming book of images and writings coming out from Invert/Extant press later this here, but here are the original concept drawings and a bit of an insight into how I work that can be yours. There are a total of 74 unique drawings in the series and each of these ink drawings is a 1/1 NFT released in order and has an accompanying text that I wrote as part of the project. These individual sketchbook versions will never be released in this form again.

Portent 1: Sometimes it is amphibial, the ability to inhabit two environments. Seeking perspective, standing on a hill to perceive the lay of the land. It feels hidden, that it is buried down below, the notion of the subconscious knowing more. Shit. But it’s clear, stand on a hill and see it all, the town over, a link between someone known once and the one before you, no need to conceal it from yourself like infants doing repetitive tasks to keep safe from attacking bears through habit. Keeping protected through distractions. Instead stand on firm ground while likewise inhabiting somewhere else, a coil and spindle that ramps along, inclines just for a moment until you see both at once.
