everyday as we head into summer. Last year at this time, New York City was at the peak of the pandemic. Life before in the spring was at a dead stop. There were very few New Yorkers on the streets or subways. Empty streets ruled the pictures. Later, in November of 2020, I lost my father to Covid-19. Since then I have looked for hope and a brighter future and absorbed anything positive. As I sat on the train on my way to Coney Island this cold spring day, I saw a brief moment of a lady looking out the window — a sign of hope. Just a week later the Wonder Wheel opened for the first time since the pandemic started. - John https://artoftheisolation.xyz/Kiki-Symone-1 Wed, 07 Apr 2021 17:24:43 +0000 Art of the Isolation https://artoftheisolation.xyz/Kiki-Symone-1 Kiki SymonéWindsor, Ontario, CanadaDigital Illustrations <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd55c91e1eff6aa93a0d55944accd0304cecf18a54e476871c0f9c79e644fbaf/history-trip-copy.png" data-mid="104554215" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd55c91e1eff6aa93a0d55944accd0304cecf18a54e476871c0f9c79e644fbaf/history-trip-copy.png" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/de3717171766218d8de1d83338a06b466d70e9c53b3bfdf111612808a2a34e63/don-t-be-mad-that-you-can-t-sing-along-copy.png" data-mid="104554213" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/de3717171766218d8de1d83338a06b466d70e9c53b3bfdf111612808a2a34e63/don-t-be-mad-that-you-can-t-sing-along-copy.png" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3cda82417b7c5065ea93ca6c5d0ae3f33cb96d256185f6bc5413f9e9812e3a35/zoom-meeting-from-heaven-copy.png" data-mid="104554222" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3cda82417b7c5065ea93ca6c5d0ae3f33cb96d256185f6bc5413f9e9812e3a35/zoom-meeting-from-heaven-copy.png" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e06233a150ca39c0069be6cd7d5983f8de96bc8618f711031d994b1a64649671/union-medium-copy.png" data-mid="104554221" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e06233a150ca39c0069be6cd7d5983f8de96bc8618f711031d994b1a64649671/union-medium-copy.png" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f29dd2ccf14607e932640347f9db4ae25d45d345f5f8b9f66d1cde3083130778/kamala-harris---2-copy.png" data-mid="104554218" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f29dd2ccf14607e932640347f9db4ae25d45d345f5f8b9f66d1cde3083130778/kamala-harris---2-copy.png" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4319132fd4a1a9f971932fee77e7cf40a12df7ef1efad3e6880eb2cac17bf3fb/kamala-harris---1--copy.png" data-mid="104554216" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4319132fd4a1a9f971932fee77e7cf40a12df7ef1efad3e6880eb2cac17bf3fb/kamala-harris---1--copy.png" /> <img width="4200" height="3300" width_o="4200" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/54b82e1462300de292a2629a4e461f08ff4022d37ae8e08f5239098364d30a7c/unite-black-copy-2.png" data-mid="104554219" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/54b82e1462300de292a2629a4e461f08ff4022d37ae8e08f5239098364d30a7c/unite-black-copy-2.png" /> In 2020, we faced great challenges, barriers and loss. And when I say we I mean POC (People of Color). In a way, I see it as both a win and a loss. For the first time, in a long time, due to Covid-19, non-black POC are finally being exposed to some of the issues we've been facing all along: systematically higher unemployment rates, fewer job opportunities, lower pay, poorer benefits and greater job instability. I'm not saying that we all have equal opportunities and rights now...there's still a lot of work that needs to be done, but it took the murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many other victims of police brutality this year, PLUS a virus that also killed millions of people, for the world to feel a balance or even a shift of power to create unity. Two of my heroes to emerge so far this year have been Amanda Gorman, who wrote the inspirational poem 'The Hill We Climb' and recited it at President Joe Biden's inauguration, and Kamala Harris. Kamala is keeping the dream alive and standing up for the rights of marginalized people. When Black women lead, we all win (and I loved loved loved her purple suit!).

CryptoPunks were some of the first NFTs to reach headlines after some of them sold for millions of dollars, but it wasn't until later on that the artists and buyers realized the environment was so impacted after each digital art piece was sold. - DaniloCryptoPunks in the Wild https://artoftheisolation.xyz/Colin-Read-1 Tue, 20 Apr 2021 16:34:48 +0000 Art of the Isolation https://artoftheisolation.xyz/Colin-Read-1 Colin ReadBrooklyn, NYVideo A story about all the new hobbies we started while locked down over the past year, in a search for fulfillment…and their failures. The short film was commissioned by Adobe as part of their “Pocket Films” series, shot on an iPhone. The goal was to make something that felt accessible to anyone, showing that anybody can be a filmmaker, no matter what tools you have available.

Total rocks: 14,600. I endured rainy, windy, and cold weather. A few people said they wanted to help, but flakers were gonna flake. No biggie, I love the sound of no one talking to me while I work.

It's an annoying thing my brain does, but when some true-crime episode cuts to a depressing wood-paneled motel room and there's a generic '70s abstract painting hanging on the wall there's just something satisfying about the curation. I grew up in the '70s/'80s so those images stick in my head and come out when I sketch or paint—it's how I'm wired. I fully gave into it and decided to make these somewhat tacky but very enjoyable to make pieces, mostly from acrylics and oil sticks, partially as an escape but definitely as an homage to '70s kitsch. - Anthony
