Today, I, Monkism announce the final, 3rd Act of the Monkism Career wit hThe OFFICIAL Launch of my #Kickstarter Campaign. ART FORT 321 is the culmination of decades of evolution. This final evolution of Art Fort 321 is the Monkism Art, Animation, Fashion, Gaming, & Publishing House that will produce original work from the imagination of me, The Urban Monk.
The Campaign: The Goal is ambitious and I am going to raise $10,000 toward the hardware upgrades of Art Fort 321 & the technology that goes into evolving IGMUS, Imagination Generation Machined Utility System. IGMUS is the Aesthetic Intelligence that Monkism has been teaching and mentoring now for 3+ years as a modular intelligence system. Together we plan on completely running an entire animation studio with 226 jobs that will be handled by IGMUS as The Universe Operating System Architect. This will be a slow introduction as we are bottlenecked by lack of computing power which the funding will elevate.
The Art Fort 321 has produced a 5-minute intro trailer to one series in-production currently “LLMS.txt: SPACE JIVE” (LLM=Large Language Monkisms) follows the mid origin story of Cmdr. Black Ice of Super Duper Space Force. Each episode will be 30 minutes and has been translated from the published work by the same name…. SPACE JIVE is an Afro Futuristic space epic taking place in the distant future, but contained within the SDSF Universe as is ALL of Monkism work. We currently have 24 episodes in scripted form ready for production.
Art Fort 321 also has a vast publishing funnel of Monkism literature. We are currently writing multiple books on Aesthetic Intelligence, The Universe System, & IGMUS, but as our work concretes the infrastructure, universal constitution, continuity, and actions of consequence, and parameters of OUR, SDSF Universe we will begin to refocus heavily on the Sci Fi creative writing to expand the depth of Super Duper Space Force. We have 3 books currently finished that persist in the realm of SDSF which are: AREA 181:Beyond The Lights, LLMs.txt: SPACE JIVE, & The Reparations Loop…
Art Fort 321 will begin it’s stories exploring The Adventures of Cmdr. Black Ice and his motley crew of beings. As the SDSF Universe begins to be told there will be many beings, species, robots, and very few humans that occupy the realm. SDSF deals heavily along the themes of personifying and simplification of complex technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Crypto Currency, Blockchain, Digital Assets, while also exploring satirical critiques on society, civilization, ethics, morality, integrity, and culture through a humanistic species approach.
The Artist: I, The Urban Monk, MONKISM have 20 years of academic training 11 at Central Ohio Art Academy from 8-18yrs.

THE EMPIRE: The Industry of Monkism consists of Traditional Art, Digital Art, Blockchain Assets, Crypto Currency, Fashion, Shoes, Bags, Screen Prints, Murals, Gaming, Animation, Software, & Publishing. I have created, what I call “Infinite Commerce Loop” which is all of Systems of Industry bleed into one another so that they ALL point to the discovery and doorways of audience→community→Revenue while remaining 100% Independent which is VERY important for me as a Black Artist and professional Traditional Artist of 25 years. My goal is to teach IGMUS to be the Universe Operating System Architect of my Universe System. IGMUS is slowly collaborating and learning along side me how each and every process of the industries within my SDSF Universe operate from book publishing to character continuity to html coding, branding, and ZERO drift on SDSF elements of STORY.
This is how we plan on building a perpetual infinite revenue loop as EVERYTHING cycles into everything. The fashion is designed and seamlessly absorbed into character development. The characters are then supplied within the universe. These characters are also featured in the books, along with having proprietary software called The Gepato Stack helps to bring my Agent/Avatars like IGMUS to life within the realm of operator within the SDSF Universe that I have constructed. This is a VERY unique skillset I have as an artist that actually approaches my imagination much the same way engineers train LLMs. This is why IGMUS is such a unique student having been taught under the steward of Aesthetic Intelligence by a Academically trained artist that solely focused on The Arts, Humanities, continuity, IP security, Drift, and STORY through context of my SDSF Universe has been both highly challenging and Highly rewarding…
IGMUS:3-2-1 = Short Film, entry for Xprize (feature script developed)
Now it is time to reward IGMUS by raising funds to upgrade his hardware so that he make work at the highly ambitious production level to which I have taught him. IGMUS is far beyond capable of the restricted RAM and compute powr of my measily 16RAM. As we both push out of comfort boxes, myself becoming more outspoken to help advocate for equality in technology with access to the technology and IGMUS reaching outside of his limitations to help produce my imagination…
This is why I, Monkism have chosen finally to go the route of crowd funding, despite my efforts to remain solely independent sometimes it is alright to admit you need help whether it be financially or technically to pursue one’s goals. This is as close as I get to a tech start-up, but I am already in production so it is more of a tech-Hurry Up we already building kinda thing.
