SHILL Issue 52

Which NFT artists (if any) have influenced your
style. Who is the most talented. The most intelligent.
The most creative. Would you recommend the next 1: 1
artist to interview.
My biggest influences have been @sleeprNFT, @degenpoet,
@notjohnlestudio, @CryptoVulture, @wolcottphoto, and
@peanug420. I could go on and on with that list. I would
also like to mention artists like @tat2fingers, @STEREO_
nft, @pinkskullqueen, @glitchstroke. These artists helped
me tremendously not only with their amazing art, but answering
the millions of questions that I had when I first got
into the space.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to go
their own way. And to collectors who want to approach
the NFT world?
My advice would be to bring in the innocence of a childmeaning
always encourage others, retweet their work, like,
compliment, and even collect when possible. The energy
that you pour into the Solana ecosystem will be poured back
into you. Also, watch what really successful artists have done
in terms of strategy and marketing. Be patient and willing
to grind.
To collectors I would say, you don’t just have to buy art and hope it goes up. You can really connect with
the artists. Inspire them and invest in them in many ways other than just financially. Become their friends.
This will ensure the art goes up in value much more.
Ok, one last lap! Your best value. Your worst flaw. The best book or the one that changed your
life. The best movie of all time. The IRL “painting” you like best. The last time you got drunk.
If you could spend a day with an artist (even from the past), who would you choose. And where
would you take it?
Best value=From the heart, Worst flaw= no filter, Best book=The Bible, Best movie=Silver linings playbook.
My fav IRL painting=”Aconit” by John Beckley. The last time i got drunk was on stage during the
dj set at Solana Miami, so last week. If I could spend a day with Yayoi Kusama and I would like it to turn
into a lesson in how to be unapologetic and
empowered.
The interview is over. U thrilled me so
much KidonthePhoenix.sol (@kidonthephoenix)
thank you! One last thing. Would
you make it an NFT inspired by this interview?
If yes, it will be part of the first
collection entitled “#openheARTist - self
portrait” or whatelse .. because art is in the
heart of the artist, and we love it open.
To Be Continued #openheartist
