Whether jumping in front of a camera trying to take all the attention in my families home videos, becoming my hometowns celebrated rapper, or creating art pieces just to express myself I’ve always been an artist at heart. Im influenced by other creatives, music is probably the main source of influence for me, i speak music better than i speak english.
My artistic style I would say derives a lot from the things that I love, I’m a huge horror fan and i host a stream on twitch doing scary video reactions Sunday and Wednesday nights. I will rewatch the entire annabelle collection most times before i decide to throw on a new movie. I also think it comes from depression, I used to have vivid nightmares and sleep paralysis on top of depression, instead of only depending on therapy I took that darkness and turned it into something creative, because when you can control fear it can’t control you.
The NFT space was just something that made sense to me when i was looking for a way to give back to my followers on twitch for being so supportive with my spooky stream, i wanted to give them something they could invest in and get back what they put in by ten fold, it was always about what I could do for others, not what the NFT world could do for me. I feel like NFT’s are the future and I am extremely invested in all things-transhumanism (man and machines becoming one) as long as we have a grip on it haha.
The advice i would give anybody coming into the NFT world is not to give into FOMO, like everything else in life, sell or buy or collect based on what YOU want, what you feel in your heart. As a creative don’t give up because you see these posts about NFTs selling for $50-$450k, your time will come, and if money is the ONLY reason you are into NFTs as a creator, you’re not going to make it far.
My biggest obstacle so far has been just getting people to connect with my project and give it attention, I think having no money (typical broke artist, that’s me lol) really hinders you because of the lack of money to promote, BUT, I’ve learned that making genuine connections with people that care is far more important, I’ve met some awesome people along the way like you and Muchroom to name a few, even though my obstacle is connecting with more people time will do it’s job.
My biggest reward would have to be finding out that i can actually put images that I have in my head onto paper then the internet. I’ve attempted drawing in the past but not with much effort, the NFT world pushed me to try again and I’m so thankful it happened because now all i want to do is draw, whether it’s for an NFT or simply for myself as i tend to do a lot of now.
I think the NFT and meta space are in a baby stage right now, there’s simply no gauging how far it will go and that’s what I love about it the most, boomers won’t be able to grasp it and control it, and eventually all this superficial shit they’ve had everyone focus on won’t matter, I predict the meta verse and NFT world will take us into a galaxy of no rules as long as it’s out of love and no harm done to others. Living freely, creatively, and on your own time, the working class mule lifestyle is dying out and soon so will there rules and expectations.
I’d love to collab with Muchroom and Bored Ape when the time is right, Muchroom seems a lot like a style i could easily be cohesive with and not try too hard, and bored ape because it would help the world see my work and see that other small artists such as myself has as much value brought to the table just as they do.
