I am pleased to report that "Beyond that darkness" 「その暗がりの先に」by Fuco Ueda has entered the collection! This was painted in 2023 with dimensions 70×120cm, depth 4cm, acrylic and shell white on canvas. After a few weeks of discussions with Fuco exploring what was possible, I learned that several larger paintings were available. It took a long time to figure out that while the painting I initially wanted checked all the boxes, it was actually this painting that best fit the theme or style of my collection. I am excited to be supporting Fuco's work and I hope that this is the beginning of a larger series of acquisitions.

I’ve been in contact with the Japanese artist Fuco Ueda to discuss starting a collection of her original paintings. For whatever reason I was neglecting her work for many years so I’m trying to rectify that now.

Best video I’ve seen recently on Bitcoin treasury companies:

Bitcoin on training wheels: Step 1: Put cash into $STRC and/or $SATA and reinvest the dividends into them to collect from 11.5% up to 13.879% APY Step 2: Start buying BTC with those dividends when you're ready, up to 250 times per year with $SATA.

Check out this upcoming art exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada! An artist that I’ve been supporting since 2017, Morgan Asoyuf, will have a beautiful work on display there that I commissioned. https://www.gallery.ca/whats-on/exhibitions-and-galleries/women-carvers-on-the-northwest-coast
