This graphic was finalised back in mid-December. It's safe to say that my artistic impression is intriguing to look back at (even to myself). Quite remarkable how things can change in a month or so.
Widen your scope, in most things you do. Don't stay static.
The "Hive" graphic above is the nineteenth in the WOTW collection and can be found over at: https://www.proofofbrain.io/@calumam/gallery/calumam_pob-word-of-the-week_hive
The winners for the Hive WOTW were:
1ST @melbourneswest - Hive is a gateway drug
2ND @samsmith1971 - Baxter's flight of fancy: Finding gratitude in self-reflection
3RD @mineopoly - Can we get rid of Hive?
4TH @d-pend - Hexagon of fate — (poetry + generative art)
5TH @abdul-qudus - Story of the little bee 🐝
All NFT's have been sent to the winners 😃
You'll also notice that the NFT's have moved exclusively over to the POB marketplace too.
I had an interesting experience while making this playlist.
The music selections for the word Hive, in the Spotify search bar, were very suggestible. I've picked out a wide-ish selection given the choices that were there and I've left them as they were added to the playlist (except for the first track, which was moved up from 5th or 6th place, I can't remember).
Have a look for yourself!

>Well, that left me with an interesting VYB ;-)
Oh yes, you and me both. It has been an interesting one today, to say the least!
>may I ask ...is it back tomorrow?
Unfortunately not, we're still letting the dust settle from the VYB explosion, lol! Since myself and @scholaris have VYB responsibilities and @nonsowrites has some personal responsibilities to deal with we've decided to push it back slightly (hopefully we'll be rolling again by February, although we're not promising just yet).
We are aware of people crying out for the return of WOTW though! A little bit of ironing to do before we put the shirts back on.
That's a great idea! I've been really enjoying the collaboration between the Inkwell and Dreemport, top-notch content all over the place!
>Personally, I can't wait for the RETURN OF WOTW hehe. It's my all-time favourite weekly challenge.
It's mine too! I can't wait to share the changes we're bringing to it.

Power Seeks
Power always seeks a vessel. It is always there to be used at the whim of the mind.
We ignore preparation
Unless adequately prepared for the power, the mind may become corrupted once that power resides within the vessel.
Loss and Desperation
He didn't know it at the time, but there was a cost to consuming the energies. The intent was to utilize the magic just for the healing of his loved ones. He missed who they were so dearly before disease ravaged their minds. Instead of using the infinite for balance, his knowledge and drive to heal who was precious to him contained the power within a state of greed.
Absolute Power
In recognition of his greed, the power corrupted him absolutely. The corruption condemned not only his loved ones, but also the sentient beings afflicted by the corruption.
Coming Soon:
Virtues of the Fallen(WOTW - Season 5)
WOTW Creator - @Calumam
Cheers mate! I really appreciate it.
As I mentioned to Sam, we're making sure we can manage the contest alongside VYB responsibilities (we will be able to) before we kick it off again. We're not going to sacrifice quality in either of the efforts.
We're ultimately going to structure the return of the WOTW in a more decentralised manner. THis should help us can expand the contest into a more diverse range of content in the future. I'm unsure if you have noticed my mention of the OTW token (@oftheweek) too, this is something we're looking to develop and release in late 2022, early 2023. Slow and steady 👍
I read this last night and decided to listen to it in full while I was soaking 😂
Got to admit, there are some seriously wild tracks in this one, what an experience. This one was my favourite from the mix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDNWtFu91-Y
(think I got through about 20-30 tracks? felt like a raisin 🤣)
Not sure why I moved it up to tell you the truth, my approach was very fluid (didn't spend as much time with the order process with this one). Initially I think it was the album art at first, then I had a listen to the snippet of sound and even though the only thing that rattled through my head was "PLAGIARISE", I thought fuck it, that's art on some level. “Good artists copy, great artists steal.”
Obviously, I'm not in support of theft, plagiarism, etc. Words can have many different meanings dependent on the context.
