Going BIZARRE: Our TALNT Cast Interview with DCP 🎙

Kate and I recently sat down with Fatima and Matt from Decentralized Pictures (DCP) for an episode of TALNT Cast. We talked about the Arts3 Startup Award, what we’re building for DCP+ in 2026, and why onchain distribution changes everything for independent creators.

A Note of Gratitude

I’ve been building my career as an entrepreneur for over 20 years, holding onto the dream of being a full-time creator. This award represents the power of persistence, collaboration, and the conviction of building onchain.

Sincere thanks to the DCP team for building the foundation that makes this possible. Kate and I are honored to be among the pioneering creators demonstrating the power of creating on the DCP+ platform. We are going BIZARRE!

What’s in the Pipeline

In the interview, we pulled back the curtain on the BizarreBeasts universe. Here’s how we’re hitting the ground running for 2026:

BIZARRE City World-Building

The animated series is an all-ages comedy set in BIZARRE City. The beasts have roommates, grab lattes at Catz Cafe, and clock in at the BIZARRE Lab. From B Block on the rough side of the city to an endless park that defies physics once you step inside, the BizarreBeasts world is taking shape.

Sound Design and the 90s Aesthetic

Kate is the project’s sound engineer and co-writer, crafting original soundtracks rooted in 90s urban vibes, boom bap, and hip-hop. The sound design reflects the era’s core values: storytelling, community, and attitude.

BizarreBeasts: Learning Lab

We’re launching a spin-off for young learners (ages 2-6). Think short-form animations, interactive games, and original music teaching ABCs, shapes, and numbers with fun and originality.

Why Onchain Changes Everything

In Web2, independent creators often struggle to have their voice heard or find a productive market for their creativity. DCP+ offers a revolutionary opportunity: distribution and recurring revenue.

The platform answers the hardest question every creator faces: “How do I actually make a living from what I have created?” With the support of DCP, the future BizarreBeasts is on a new trajectory, powered by original art and an unrelenting onchain community.

ETH Denver

Kate and I are heading to ETH Denver this month as part of the Creator Cohort to represent BizarreBeasts and DCP. We’ll be sharing the legacy of American Zoetrope and how DCP carries that mission forward, supporting independent voices through decentralized tools.
