Do you have FOMA (Fear of Missing Art)?

If you have a fear of missing art, check out the aptly named FOMAmag. It’s the international online mag for immutable culture. Discussions & insights into the digital art movement.

The layout of FOMAmag is pretty cool; its design is like an old-school physical magazine that you flip through online. And there’s a lot of art you shouldn’t fear that you’ll miss out on. It’s an excellent layout for a publication to show digital art but keep the aesthetics of a traditional print art magazine. And, of course, you can click on a piece of art in an article – and it will take you directly to the page where you can purchase the said piece.

You can learn more about such digital art collectables as A CryptoPunk from 1844, done in the style of French painter Gustave Courbet.

(Barabeke’s modernist interpretation of pixel art, using just one picture repeated thousands of times, with hundreds of variations/glitches spread upon its most basic pixel form. Explore in the video below the details of this 4K digital artwork based on a self-portrait of Gustave Courbet).

Or COnform by Cultlitz – with the description that uses extreme brevity: ‘Comply With What They Say.”

(I’m not afraid of missing out on art – by just knowing about these two artists).

FOMAmag is a good showcase for seeing what’s happening in the digital space. (Though, one design critique; I wish there was a way to go directly to the article I want to read without flipping through the whole thing).

Besides showcasing art, there are also stories in Issue #4 with collector/blockchain expert Anndy Lian – who is known for such statements as “Blockchain brings new trust to art” and “Create NFTs with a good purpose. Doing shit using NFT as a cover is a big no-no. Regulations will catch up.” As well as an article from Ukrainian digital artist, Yalo.

Taking the cover art reigns, you can find such artists as ROBNESS V2 - doing his rendition of McFoma’s.

FOMOmag is accepting submissions for content from PFP projects to angry rants about the NFT space.
