Choosing the right platform to mint your art can feel overwhelming, especially given how quickly on-chain technology evolves.
But if you're constantly jumping from one platform to the next without settling down, how can you expect collectors to connect with you?
Exploring different platforms is a natural part of finding the best fit for your work. I’m not saying don’t explore—absolutely, take the time to see what’s out there.
Dedicating yourself to one platform, at least for a while, can be far more beneficial for building a collector base.
Ultimately, the specific platform or chain you choose matters less if you’re spreading yourself too thin across too many places.
Every artist’s situation is unique, but consistency and a sense of home in one thing can make all the difference.

What chain do works of art that spawn from nightmares want to live on?
where do most of your collectors currently collect your art? that's where i'd recommend you mint them.
I was speaking more about artistic/philisophical/storytelling congruence rather than practicalities, but thanks for the feedback!
I don't think there is any correct answer to this question... Zora could be the answer since it's art-centric, but I think the real answer is the chain your audience will pay attention to. I would probably go Optimism, which I feel is not aligned to anybody else's brand or narrative.
all of them
Undeniably.

working with the team @sovrn did give me the best of both worlds the benefits of support plus expertise, with the freedom to do things my way rather than fit into the confines of a platform box don’t really see that combo in many (any?) of the typical platforms
i've never used them before. are they an open platform?
they're open in the following sense: "artists have 100% control of their Sovrn contracts, with full ownership of their art including all royalties" While their team chooses which projects / artists they work with, so that part is very much a human choice rather than an all access platform.
Its a waste of time let em chase you
i have just never found a home. there's some platforms ive stuck with but really unless a platform is equally dedicated to you i don't see the point of this. i like to bring up zora a lot since its recent and relevant. they invited me in and promoted me and it was working great. i was selling editions at amounts i was happy with... then they switched their entire model and it absolutely doesn't work for me. foundation seems to be eyeballing the same approach with their focus on rodeo. i feel like twitter (perhaps unfortunately) is home
makes total sense. twitter was how i sold everything. i
