"I live a magical life outside the consensus reality" he writes, "I embrace wonder and beauty. I stand in awe of the Great Mystery which binds everything together in Oneness."
An early adopter of Bitcoin, Matthews is a big advacate for open source money. His article The Seperation of Money and State was published in 2013 forecasting the sea change that was coming: "honest money demands honest government."
As a boy growing up on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Matthews lived through the 1973 stand off between AIM and FBI. It was at this time he earned the nickname "Wasaka" (Wah-SHOCK-Ah) which is Lakota Sioux for "tuffy." Soon Wasaka discovered his talent as an artist and all his work is signed with his Indian name.
After the family moved to Alaska, he would go on to illustrate the Foxfire magazine for the Nanwalek High School, a remote "bush" village on the tip of Kenai Peninsula. Wasaka now resides in the beautiful artist community of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. You may see him sporting a steampunk hat in the local coffee shop if he isn't kayaking down the Buffalo River. view less
