Conversations with Logan Fulcher

Today we’d like to introduce you to Logan Fulcher.

Hi Logan, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was homeless in 2009, though the story starts before then. After graduating with 2 degrees in 2007, I decided to move to Japan and get some international experience, having only once been outside of the US prior. I lived and taught there for a year before moving back, expecting to become an art therapist. Lehmann shock decided otherwise. It would take all of my savings and 6 months before I got a cashiering job.

I got injured without health insurance, and due to the advice of a homeless person I had been supporting – decided to dive into homelessness a few months early with little savings still intact. I was able to get the surgery I needed without becoming a lifetime indentured servant and then left back to Japan on frequent flyer miles – thoroughly disenchanted with the “#1 best country in the world”… This was my second time moving there.

During my time in Japan, I would become an early Bitcoin investor, move to Thailand to start a company, fail, move back to Japan a 3rd time, and fail to start my own companies again. Now, I help others start their attempts to shoot down the moon. We’re getting pretty close at the company I am with now – Neustreet – which does collectibles as assets. Art is the only thing in my life that has been an uninterrupted constant. Always thinking about making something or making it, even when I tried not to.

I’ve been displayed in a major Japanese museum, sold several works, and completed several commissions over the years – though I prefer to make beautiful things for their own sake, just to have them exist, so I’ve taken a brief reprieve from the marketing side since moving back to the US in 2021, though I don’t see myself trying that hard to ever sell much work, as much as just have it seen. It’s been an amazing journey that has turned me into a “diamond person”.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
As mentioned, I’ve dealt with homelessness and the stigma that comes attached to that; I lost almost all the artwork I ever made at that point. I was born poor. My stepdad was abusive. I’ve gone through multiple drug addictions, the 5th largest earthquake in history, multiple hurricanes/typhoons, been robbed, mugged, and then had society repeatedly tell me I was a loser for a lot of this – which might have been the hardest of all the things to deal with.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m lucky to have a talent for the organization of people and a passion for beauty. Being an “investor artist” is already a strange combo of skill sets, and I’m happy to say that the troubles in my life were all worth it to get to this point. I can see the future, and I can make a pretty picture of it for you. I can’t figure out how to get everyone to listen yet, but I’m working on that next. Watch out goofballs, I’ll be your next supreme leader. Hahaha! Just kidding!

Seriously though, go check out my collages. You’ve never seen anything quite like them, with as much visual information as they carry. I make some of the “informationally densest” art currently in existence, as far as I’m aware. Beyond that, I have big aspirations for expanding the reach of “existential monism” in the form of a parodic religion. I’m also slowly working on an ownership network powered by cryptocurrency which could hypothetically serve as the basis for an “internet government” system in the future. I make board games, dance, and play a lot of games (of any kind) in my spare time.

How do you define success?
Maximizing the potential for others around you to improve themselves and/or otherwise make their lives less painful. Reducing unnecessary suffering for more people than 99% of the human population has.
