Alright I'm going to do this the right way now.
Introducing myself.
My name is Reeza but everyone calls me Ray.
I'm from South-America Suriname and have a passion for Creating Digital Art and Gaming on the Blockchain.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This journey has been interesting to say the least.
Most of my fellow creators in the digital art space started with this program
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yeah, this was waaaay back in the day.
We use to draw a lot of these illustrations.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Times were simpler back then.
Any way I digress.

I got myself a copy of adobe illustrator and started to experiment with vectors and pixels.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Then, it happened.
Someone introduced us(My best friend and I) to Photoshop.
.
.
.
.
.
My goodness, We were in love.
We started challenging ourselves on who made the better composition.
We kept pushing the limits and eventually ended up being Photoshop experts ( not to toot our own horn )
.
.
.
.
.
.
My best friend chose to go for his passion which was in architecture and I kept on pursuing to become a graphics designer.
.
.
.
.
.
Moving forward I stumbled upon another software called after effects.
To me this Gem was like photoshop with moving pictures.
I was sold, hooked and couldn't get enough of after effects.
Especially when you have a mentor like Andrew Kramer.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Slowly I became known for creating animations.
I did this for a long time. Working mostly on projects for corporate.
Soon I realized that this was not for me.
Yet I'm grateful for learning how to make pictures come to live and making explainer videos.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My next adventure was becoming a YouTuber.
.
.
.
.
.
Oh how exciting! I thought.
But after multiple attempts, I kinda just stopped.
It's still a dream of mine but I think that I have to be able to afford to do YouTube full time.
As most of you know, YouTube doesn't pay you right away like Hives Network.
You really have to grind your way up to become noticable enough.
It's a hard process to which you have to save up some money to sustain yourself while trying to grow.
Still planning on doing tho.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I never lost sight of Creating Digital Art.
Yup, if it's one thing I did with consistency it's creating compositions in Photoshop.
.
.
.
.
.
.
With the rise of NFT's it seemed logical to hop on board and start selling.
I had a crazy idea of creating micro worlds based on nature.
.
.
.
.
.
But as faith would have it. The only work station I had broke down after 12 years of active service.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Not to worry, Im actively job hunting so that I can save up the money to buy a new Machine so that I can finish these NFT'S series.
I'm currently loving the hive ecosystem and I have to give credit to who has always supported me.
He is a true friend who is madly passionate about what's in store for the future when it comes to crypto adaptation.
It's safe to say that I'll be posting here regularly.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I hope your doing well and I wish you the best of luck with all your goals.
Best wishes,
Ray
