What's happening y'all

Pre-November 2019, I remember pissing digital art into the wind on various, traditional (and I think we can call them that now) portfolios and social media such as Behance, Instagram, even Dribbble, I dabbled in Society 6, Redbubble.

If you were bothered to click on any of the above links you'd see I haven't updated any of these in a while.

I may do still as it's always good to keep things up-to-date.

Nonetheless, being a c-grade art student at GSCE, traditional hand-to-canvas wasn't my forte and even though I enjoyed the odd Dragonball Z doodle - I tossed the 'artist' goal in the my 'man draw' section of my imagination and focused on instrumental (hip-hop, UK grime, dubstep) production, which I had been interested in since I was nine.

Put it this way, prior to 2018 - I had no artist experience, just imagination. Which I guess is enough along with the obsession to get better.

2018 I started a science fiction inspired sweatshirt project which kamikazed harder than they do in Worms Armageddon.

I figured I liked the 'design' and 'creation' side to this failed venture rather than the clothing, textiles etc. So focused on just creating digital pieces, based off my own photography and stock photos.

Those are my feet!

I tried to sell these as prints via your typical print-on-demand sites like Displate and co. but the competition was saturated, I still wasn't that good and I used to think people preferred traditional art to the digital stuff (as if I believed this!) - I didn't know where this was going to go, but I knew I liked doing it and that I wanted to do it full-time one day.

2019 Randomly, my now-homie from NY Gisel stumbled across my Behance and hinted I should check out crypto-art.

At first, I googled it and didn't get it - so shelved the ambition to actually do some digging.

Then I asked about where people do this sort of stuff and she shared a few blockchain-based platforms such as Makersplace and KnownOrigin.

In about a space of a week I completely stopped publishing to print-on-demand sites and focused solely on creating and showcasing my work as crypto-art. I found Cent, the Twitter community and somehow ended up at a KnownOrigin presentation in Canary Wharf London - shit changed my life.

Ok, well, I'm still early on in this journey so it's not like I'm top-shotta, yet, but I'm glad I bumped into Gisel and I stuck at practising my craft.

This was a crash-course introduction because it's 21:24 here (I work 6-4, sometimes 7pm in my day job), I'm pekish and want to hurry up and make some friends here.

Say hi in the comments, lets connect.

Hmm, what else? Well I'm a London boy, I like biscuits, F1 and support a football team who always make me cry.
COYG!
