Glynn Gomes's Blog

My name is Glynn and I am a creator, and this is my collection Dreams Alpha by Glynn on OpenSea, dropping November 19. https://opensea.io/collection/dreams-... There are 666 items.

I am interested in your thoughts and would be happy to engage in conversations or answer questions!

It’s my first drop, but I have done other digital art. The art is inspired by a poem I wrote titled, Dreams, as well as the digital art I painted for the poem. The poem and the original art are found in my book, Lighthouse, inspiration sold on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lighthouse-inspiration-poems-move-your-ebook/dp/B08BKXFC9S

If you want to read the poem, read it on my book preview page, here: Lighthouse Preview | Special Creativity Inc. And Special Creativity Inc. is my company and my creative outlet.

The poem and the art mean so much. Dreams are a means of relaxation, of escape, of finding adventure. They also speak to our innermost desires. We seek our dreams, we hold on to them, we work so hard for them and hope we can achieve them. If we fail to achieve them, then it can be devastating. But if we succeed, the world is our oyster. So, hold onto your dreams!

The names of the forthcoming NFTs give a clue to their attributes. They have combinations of colors, wraps, and signature seals and some are collages. There are many versions with different names and the names give a hint to the items’ attributes.

A few examples…

This RED one is called Dreams+Black+R+PLASTIC. I made this with layered red and black versions of the image. This makes it red with black highlights, especially visible at the edges. Then I added a plastic wrap.

Dreams+Black+R+PLASTIC

The GREEN one is called Dreams+Black+G+PLASTIC+SEAL_plastic_z. I layered black and green versions of the image. Then I again added the plastic wrap. In the bottom left, I added one of my signature seals. This seal is based on the Celtic seal (called SEAL) but then I added both a plastic wrap and a Zeke (sepia) filter. See how the elements are included in the name?

Dreams+Black+G+PLASTIC+SEAL_plastic_z

I love the SEPIA ones. For Dreams+Blue+I+SEPIA, I started by layering the blue and indigo images. Then I added the sepia filter. You cannot see the individual blue and indigo colors, but adding the sepia filter gives this one a beautiful deep sepia tone. I’ve done this (adding the sepia filter) to many different combinations of color and even with the plastic wrap. Many different sepia tones result, really quite striking when you see them together.

Dreams+Blue+I+SEPIA

There are A LOT of examples on my collection’s OpenSea Overview page https://opensea.io/collection/dreams-alpha-by-glynn/

I am posting a lot on social a media too… examples and thoughts about the coming collection. So, if interested Follow me on…

Astronomer’s Vision from “Lighthouse, inspiration,” the new eBook of poetry by, #glynngomes (that’s me!). I wanted to start this book with this poem because…. Well, have you ever looked at the stars and just wondered how vast the universe or just how vast “possibility” is? Could there be a different—or maybe even better— life somewhere-that-is-not-here? Maybe there is, and maybe it’s closer than you think, and maybe it’s within your grasp (with a little help). Find your inspiration.
