Howdy, I'm William Peaster.

I'm a writer and editor. Since 2017, I've published +2.2k articles and 1.3 million words at Bankless, DeFi Pulse, and beyond.

My specialties are onchain apps of any sort, but particularly EVM apps around AI, art, collectibles, DeFi, gaming, social, VR, and etc.

Some of my recent posts:

Personally...

In my free time I'm a creative writer, working primarily on fiction these days. I'm currently finishing up three stories:

The Bell Station

Operators at a living monitoring station tend an unknowable signal from the void. Two of them begin to remember a life they shared before through a memory of apple pie. Then, the station starts turning toward something new in the dark.

For Magic Eyes Only

Five generals of a Jupiterean order arrive at Mound 6, the last standing imperial position on the western frontier. They are tasked with destroying the rebels in the marsh before them, but one among them is a traitor.

A Pale Horse on God's Tongue

Eco-vigilantes aboard The Shaibya hunt the world's largest refrigerated fishing carrier across lawless international waters. They track their leviathan by the dead albatross it leaves floating in its wake.

And Midjourney...

In recent years I've gotten deep into making Midjourney graphics for my articles, building up a library of custom styles along the way, all tuned, repeatable visual recipes refined over hundreds of generations.

I'm happy to make a custom graphic for you, too. Just hit me up and let me know the scene/aesthetic you're looking for, and I'll use one of my styles, or a new one I come up with for you.

Style: Glintsomes

High-contrast illustrations with a dominant electric blue palette, punctuated by vivid accent colors applied with loose, chalky mark-making. Forms are grounded in hard outlines and flat color masses.

Style: Conctos

Flat, graphic illustrations built on a dominant cerulean blue, with warm accent colors (cream, red-orange, gold, etc.) used for precise punctuation and detail.

Style: Metas

Soft, volumetric illustrations built on deep black grounds, with forms emerging from atmospheric gradient lighting and smooth edge blurring. Jewel-tone palettes like emerald, violet, coral, and burnt orange.

Style: Swags

3D renderings defined by their surface materiality. Forms read as lacquered, chrome-plated, or iridescent clay, catching light with a wet, pearlescent sheen. The palette is bold and saturated.

Style: Noons

Bold graphic illustrations anchored by heavy black outlines and flat, saturated color fills. The palette is vivid and warm (cobalt blue, red-orange, forest green) set against single-color grounds that shift across outputs.

Style: Phreaks

Playful mixed-media collage illustrations that stack abstract forms, scribbles, and patterned fragments into dense totemic assemblages, surrounded by generous negative space.

Style: Froods

Flat graphic illustrations with a heavy, uniform grain that breaks saturated color fields into a coarse, dithered texture. The palette is bold and high-key, e.g. cobalt blue, hot pink, forest green, red, yellow.

Style: Coids

Smooth, cleanly rendered anime-ish illustrations with a soft, polished surface quality and no visible grain or texture. The palette is pink-dominant.

how it works

Send your scene idea to wmpeaster@gmail.com and 10 USDC (or $10 of any top Ethereum stablecoin, eg. BOLD, DAI, etc.) to my wmp.eth address. Please include your tx id in the email so I can track easily. I'll curate 4 outputs and send them back to you within 24 hours to do with as you wish, no strings attached. Just know that Midjourney isn't great with text/logos, so I can produce your base scene, but you might want to layer on additional branding elements yourself. Up to you!
