Quotes

Autoglyphs was almost a project that we wanted to do for ourselves at that time. We had the idea not long after CryptoPunks. We thought about it and even took a few cracks in 2018 but gave up because we hit some technical limitations.

John [Watkinson] told me last time I saw him that we actually pushed him to finish Autoglyphs to get it ready for the show.
