Issue 104 

What do we know? We know the power of networking is 'real'. Monitoring the weekly views shows some eye 

opening facts that cannot be overlooked. Fact: #SHILLzine has a steady audience that maintains around 4000 

views per week from standard Tweets. Fact: #SHILLzine is most viewed when it is free (issue 100 proves this 

beyond doubt). Fact: When a project promotes #SHILLzine the audience jumps to 10000 views per week (the 

@GhostkidDAO affect- when they place a bounty on #SHILLzine). Fact: NFT artists in #SHILLzine benefit from 

extra exposure (more eyes on your work). Fact: Thread writers benefit from the extra exposure in #SHILLzine. 

#SHILLzine's goal for 2023 is to maintain 10000 views per week. I'm open to suggestions on how to achieve 

and maintain this. Anyone? 

Interestingly, a NEW magazine has launched recently. fomomagazine. And, while I cannot access the magazine 

I do note that it instantly has the backing of large projects. Read by NFT whales from DeGods, Moonbirds 

& BAYC. What's the result? Well, their communities constantly promote the 'FOMO' brand which inevitably 

results in a viewership similar to the @ghostkiddao affect. Digital access to FOMO will set you back 1.2Sol for 

the Starter pack - 3 magazines per year for 2 years (6 magazines- 0.2Sol per magazine). Pro access for 1.5Sol 

(bonus NFT poster) and Lifetime for 12Sol. 

#SHILLzine is different. It's here and has been for over 18 months. Ecosystem UP- #SHILLzine is there. 

Ecosystem DOWN- #SHILLzine is there. One hundred and four issues documenting the #Solana ecosystem for 

all to access. 

Issue 100 is still available from https://www.hel.io/pay/6414f59004805be4067bdf03 - a milestone issue that 

will never be listed on the Yumpu page. 

Your support via likes & retweets helps #SHILLzine reach a broader audience. It has helped this magazine 

achieve 683,606 views across 101 issues (previous week = 679,638). 

#SHILLzine still has pieces listed for auction. Every purchase helps make this magazine worthwhile. Listed on 

ExchgArt. UNDER THE PRICE OF A COFFEE! Proceeds go to helping this magazine grow and become better. All 

the World's a Stage is live now https://exchange.art/pixeltoy/ .

DAM Artist Spotlight Interview w/ the one and only @hersoid 

Who is Hersoid? 

“Strap yourselves in. You may or may not have noticed Hersoid can wax pretty fuckin lyrical on just about any 

topic, even without encouragement. So submitting me an interview is literally asking for trouble. You brought this 

upon yourself. Not sorry. 

So Hersoid is the alter ego, sub brand, Armani Exchange to Emporio Armani, the cheap accessible logo division of 

the artist Nick Hersey, represented by Island6 gallery in Shanghai. Born out of a need to protect the sales value 

and collector base who buy Nick Hersey paintings, Hersoid was a side project focused on giclee prints, consumables, 

and eccentric paraphernalia. It’s all very well selling 1x $10,000 painting a year, but it doesn’t pay the rent. 

Hence Hersoid was launched initially as a website but later a web3 project following my introduction to NFTs 

through a British friend, and then discovering the 1/1 scene, the URS and thankfully the delightful caravan of 

eccentricities that is DAMzine. Haven’t looked back since.”

What does your work aim to say? 

“Phew that’s a big one. That’s like asking the meaning of life. So, when I was 6 years old, I made a painting of a trilobite 

(funny dinosaur crab thing from the Cambrian period) because my father, an illustrator, was doing lots of work for Usborne 

publishing, featuring dinosaurs. He was the dino guy of British illustration. So, I copied his work, his drawings, and 

ended up drawing lots of dinosaurs. At that moment, though it sounds horribly conceited and pompous, I said to myself 

‘cool, I’m going to be an artist, I’m pretty good at this shit, that’s my life sorted then’ - and honestly to this day I have 

never ever considered any other career. OK so did fair bit of graphic design, worked in a cafe, sold double glazing- but 

always considered that I was going to be an artist, one day I may yet achieve that goal! 

But what does my work aim to say? Well for a long time now I have been plowing this theme of ‘parables of truth’ - the 

idea that in a secular society, a multiplicitous, fragmented and hyper connected society, it is no longer the exclusive 

remit of saints and gods to write the parables that make sense of our world… surely each and every one of us is justified 

in encapsulating moments with recorded stories that help us to make sense of this world, this reality. And so, I document 

the minutiae of the everyday- I make little notes of the things I see and hear. A man spitting into a drain while a hummingbird 

passes by, a prostitute buying ice cream on a lunch break, a giant adult-baby pushed in a wheel chair by a teeny 

tiny care worker with no teeth… I write them all down. The meaning behind the parabens isn’t immediately obvious, but 

usually they form into meaningful stories as you sit back and contemplate them. My work is basically cataloguing the 

entirety of reality in all its glory and humour, one parable at a time. As you can probably guess Argentinian fantasy reality 

writer J. L. Borges is a very prominent in my thinking, and has driven me to this point with his stories ‘The Lottery in Babylon’, 

‘Funes the Memorious’, ‘the garden of forking paths’ and many others.”

How does your work comment on current social or political issues if at all? 

“With pictures, and a fair amount of swearing.” 

Who are your biggest influences, in and out of the digital space? 

“Aw this is a bit like ‘what’s your favourite album’. So hard. I was lucky enough to attend a lecture by Peter Blake at the 

royal albert hall when I was at art school- he was humble, charming, funny and utterly entertaining. I remember seeing 

how he literally traced down every shadow, every line, every detail for his paintings, and I thought ‘aw you fucking cheat 

there’s no skill in that’.. But of course, there is because he’s a magnificent painter. His poster-like semiotic style has to 

this day been the biggest influence on how I structure my work. Francisek Starowieski, just one among a host of amazing 

Polish Poster artists… Hiro Sugiyama, for his fanzines, crazy illustrations, abstract photographs… Han Lei, my favourite 

fine art photographer - dammit favourite artists EVER… and just to be down with the kids, Ill mention some people in 

the space: Balada Perupa, a truly crazy Indonesian with reckless sense of colour and a unique approach, Schauermanna 

German who shares my passion for no picture plane, and Cryptoscuderia, one of the most talented and sensitive 

painters I have seen in recent years.”

How do you cultivate a collector base? 

Calling it a collector base would be an over-statement. I have a handful of people who seem to like my work, and I send 

them cakes and other sweetmeats and dainties, in the hope that they will continue to buy the odd piece. I love them, 

and they love me right back - it’s a very small and intimate relationship. I send honoraries, the odd airdrop, poems 

written on parchment from a Chinese merchant in Penang… anything I can think of to make them feel special. When I 

discover an artist, and on the VERY rare occasion spunk my hard-earned $Sol on their work, I like to feel like it’s only me 

and them in the whole room - like I have literally plucked them from obscurity. I think every collector wants to feel that… 

because that’s what collecting is - showing off that you have found something that nobody else has even heard of yet. I 

just work that in reverse and try to be enigmatic and hard to find. Its working brilliantly cos I basically sell fuck-all these 

days. Undiscovered genius.

eautiful period… but only came about out of necessity. 

Lean times inspire creativity and innovation. And good 

drugs. “ 

Best advice for artists anywhere? 

“After 23 years in the artworld, and an entire life dedicated 

to creativity, I have learned the hard way that there are 

only two rules here: •Don’t give up. •Don’t die.” 

Where do you see the space headed at the speed of the 

current climate? 

“Well, I’m hanging around in crypto twitter listening to 

spaces and watching feeds, and there’s a fair bit of doom 

and gloom, some big projects winning big time and some 

amazing projects sinking like stones… in these times of 

hardship you really weed out the lazy and the inert, the part 

timers and the chancers. The real players are digging deep… 

coming up with ever more innovative marketing strategiesspending 

more time in the studio refining their work - and 

it’s basically good for the ecosystem. The rave generation 

in England was born out of the recession of 1990- people 

couldn’t afford to visit clubs in cities and started setting up 

their own sound systems, driving them to remote Welsh 

highlands and taking enough ecstasy to kill a cow. It was a

Discord: Discord - A New Way to Chat with Friends & Communities 

What is Doge Capital and what do they do? 

Founded by @imdogefather and @juanpa_s0l, Doge Capital is an OG project that was minted back in October 

2021. They were one of the projects that pulled through even through the bull and bear market. 

Doge Capital is extremely transparent with their project’s progress, and they lay out information to their holders 

even with their financials. 

What are some of the tools that are within the DC ecosystem? 

1. Staking as a Service 2. Doge Bet 3. Doge Academy 4. Doge Swap 5. Doge Verification Sytem (DVS) 6. Doge Map 

Staking as a Service 

One of the main revenue generating pillars in the project, DC helps to build state of the art staking sites for other 

projects at an affordable price. 


Some of the features of their staking site include: -Customisable UI -Real time staking stats -Fully on-chain secured contract 

-Dual Signature -Withdraw/stake all buttons -Different staking modes (Standard, rarity-based, bonus-based, timebased) 

Doge Bet 

Doge bet is a price prediction game that allows users put in SOL, DAWG, DUST, TRTLS & BELL to guess the price movement 

of BTC in between 1, 2 & 5 minute time frames.

Doge Academy 

Doge Academy is a mentorship program that aids web2 developers to pivot into web3 through an education program 

that was set up by DC. The team has mentors that are experienced in the field to guide new developers and ensure that 

they can get a grasp. 

The Academy has 4 phases: 

1. Reviewing all the education material that they will provide 

2. Testing your web2 knowledge (2-3 weeks) 

3. Form groups and assign tasks focusing on web3 libraries & concepts (2-3 weeks) 

4. Lead developers will test smart contract development 

Doge Swap 

Doge Swap is their newest venture and is currently in the beta phase. Doge Swap will position itself to be the first NFT x 

Token pairing swap, linking the value of an NFT collection and its corresponding ecosystem utility token. 

Doge Swap has 2 features: 1. Swap 2. Arbitrage 

Swap 

The swap function is like traditional DeFi LP pool structures where users are able to provide liquidity of both assets to 

the pool for a percentage of fee. The DogeSwap pool will allow holders to efficiently transition between the same project 

assets. 

Doge Swap charges a 0.5% to those interacting with the pool. Those that provided the liquidity are rewarded the fee 

according to the % that one has in the pool.

Arbitrage 

The arbitrage function takes advantage of the inefficiencies in the market and allow users to benefit from it. To access 

the arbitrage function, one needs to hold 5 Doges and the corresponding $DAWG amount pooled. 

Mechanism 

The price of $DAWG in the Raydium pool is higher/lower than in the DogeSwap pool: - If higher, holders can swap a DC 

NFT for $DAWG in our pool, and sell the $DAWG for USDC on Raydium - If lower, holders can purchase DAWG on Raydium, 

and sell it into the pool 

Doge Map 

An interactive map for holders to see where others are around the world and the number is NFTs they hold. 

What does holding a DC grant you? 

1. Staking for $DAWG 2. Access to Doge Swap

Staking for $DAWG 

Doges will be able to yield 5 $DAWG / day and the yield will 

continue to increase +1 as the doge level increases. Lvl 0 = 1 

$DAWG / day Lvl 1 = 2 $DAWG / day Lvl 2 = 3 $DAWG / day. 

Doges are able to level up using the Golden or Silver Woofers. 

An OG project that has been through thick and thin in the 

market and still manage to come out on top. With their 

newest release of Doge Swap, hoping to see it be a bigger 

game changer for the project.

0xBarrett 

With the unfortunate departure of @formfunction, I have to show my love for 1/1 artists that have come to @foster_ 

protocol. Here are some of my favs over the last few days. 

I start with @Dashboard519 “Autumn path” The only thing seemingly in focus is the path and almost the destination. It’s 

an appropriate start to this thread as he writes “It was the right path at the time.” 


Next is @_rskpstn “Favorite Music” We all have it, we all love it, and we all jam out it regardless of where we are. I feel 

that.

A piece by @artpardini part of the “Savaged” Collection My favorite music is punk rock and I absolutely love the double 

exposure coupled with the abrupt subject. It’s a dichotomous shitstorm and I’m here for it.

@noserembo_art with “Lizy” I saw this and thought, wow. In a candy-coated world, where women are still subjugated to 

be seen not heard, I felt this was a powerful piece with an umbrella to shield her, a personality peeking through: Lizy. 

@HIPOCREATEID and “PORTALS LINE” The style here alone always piques my interest, but then, “wait, what is this?” Described 

as “SHIP journey to the limbic space in a brain” and the detail of the tendrils explode. “What’s in such a hurry?” 

Exactly.

@Swedi with “Matasara” The seemingly traditional Japanese linework in a lot of Swedi pieces juxtaposes the fantastical 

subjects with just enough reminisce of ancient religions. A reminder of what man has done to make up for the gaps in 

wisdom he cannot explain.

@LeoIsidro92 in “EYES OF THE WITCH” Dusty, daunting, this seems to raise pagan symbolism akin to depictions in 

Christianity. Probably my own upbringing but I found myself counting the candles, explaining slight differences, and even 

attributing meanings not intended.

@vanquishverse “Gun and Rose” I just bought this one, just clicked. It’s kinda too easy. Gun to my head, it’s the punk 

rock thing, this reminds me of every punk cassette my parents wouldn’t let me take home from Sam Goody.

@Ariel_is_back with “A thousand bodies” Been a big fan of this photography for a while and this poignant message 

should be a solid reminder on the desktop at home. “the body is just a soul while a soul is a thousand bodies”. 

@Eriksonap “Hands” I was pleasantly surprised at the representation South America had at the first @SolanaConf in 

Lisbon and Erikson Aponte is proof their voices are heard on Solana as collector and artist. Always great color, easy to 

support.

@psycollect_sol with “The Warrior Girl” A secondary sale, I’m sure @Circus_DAO would love some fresh pixel mints 

from this excellent artist. Anything that seemingly propels women or casts light on their plight, I’m a fan. This is pixelated 

non-fiction: warrior girl. 

@Marventyo1 with “MULUT BERBISA” Always with a powerful message is Marventyo. Colored are the lives of many perspectives 

but “a person who is very good at playing with words” find themselves surrounded by their own decisions.

@glonkypixels appropriately “Mountain Dew” The title did it for me. Great line work, on-the-nose colors, minimalist 

look with a maximum message. Seriously have the fear this is me in ten, err. three years as it’s a little close to home (and 

bloodline). New pfp? kek

@Magicart_nfts “Ancient Desert” Anything with that deserty @Circus_DAO feel. These are great works of art. They 

make me feel okay; looking into nature’s portal to view something that’s inexplicably symmetrical, smooth, and clean. It 

isn’t. Real? 

@creator_entity with “Soul of the Mimosa” Looking forward to more pieces in the “Souls I’ve met” Collection. A visual 

memoir into the life and times of personal affect.

I support artists, especially those society has not dealt a privileged hand. Those artists I missed in this thread, I love you 

and keep up the great work! Thank you 

@thecircusdragon and @susp_enders for @foster_protocol. This is @Circus_DAO Fructify Thine Magnum Opus.

@CompoundI3 

Shining the light on an artist who may not currently be in the spotlight. But personally, enjoying their work they 

might just be on the come up! 

@seminomaden is a photographer not afraid to experiment with different exposures and filters. Semi’s nostalgic 

style reminds me of a time when everything seemed simpler and full of life. A time when the days seemed to 

last forever, and worries were non-existent. “A glimpse of summer” collected by @Johnny_Vineyard 

“Pure Happiness?” collected by @Johndoe8891 

Semi’s technique was influenced by Chinese photographer 

Fan Ho and abstract photographer Alexander Aka 

@wrapped_nil 

“The-others” collected by @N8Solomon

@StonedApeCrew 

NFTs have “evolved”. More than ever, it’s all about the collective 

vibe we create. We’re dedicated to crafting enjoyable, 

unique experiences that grow the Stoned Ape IP for 

our holders. Check out our plan for the following weeks. 

Expansion into the physical world has always mattered to 

us. This month, we’re unveiling our most significant cannabis 

partnership to date. 

Stoned Apes thrive on the story of Puff Valley, the Stoned 

Ape theory, and our ascent to a higher-order species. But 

lately, we’ve been too focused on tech and facts. Now, it’s 

time to work on developing our story, nurturing the SAC 

vibe and building with our community. 

These partnerships will come along with IRL drops. Get set 

for tangible Stoned Ape goodies that might just lift you higher. 

Gear up at 420. Speaking of 420 celebrations… 

This 420 is all about our community having fun with us. 

Feels like the perfect time to bring back the “Stoned Ape 

week” Let’s take over Twitter by showing the creative side 

and strength of our community. 


In May, we’ll introduce the “Great Planting”. You’ll be able 

to plant a seed using $PUFF to harvest rewards over time. 

These rewards will be gamified and include free merchandising, 

random distributions of NFTs to planters and other 

benefits - The planting unlocks… 

Speaking of evolution, we’ll be releasing a first for NFTs 

- a unique 1/1 art series called “The Evolution of Stoned 

Apes”. Abo and friends are creating pieces showing the 

historic events of Puff Valley. Some of these will be airdropped 

to lucky planters. 

A free art enhancement. Our artist spent a long time working 

on fine-tuning traits based on community feedback. We 

want to make our holders happy. This will also unlock the 

“personal evolution” of your ape. 

Stoned Apes 

thrive on the story 

of Puff Valley 

These are our plans for now, we’ll try things, see how 

people react and adapt accordingly. Everything we do we 

believe has our holders’ best interests at heart.

WITH SENTIENTSHAPES 

Welcome back to The Creative (Writing) Corner where we have recently been 

practicing literary devices. This week we will take a small break from those devices 

and talk about something else entirely, Memento Mori– “Remember that you must 

die.” Woah! I know, I know…sounds very dark and foreboding. But, let’s not forget 

the power of words and dissection of those words to imbibe their true meanings. 

We can take this Stoic principle and actually apply it to our artistic applications, 

themes and to our own cadence and beliefs. If we always have the idea in our 

minds that we “have time” then we will push off our commitments until the bitter 

end, we will sit at our desk with our last breath that stretches the lungs wishing we 

had done more! Now…tell me in all honesty that you wish to die in regret and I will 

end the article here…oh, you don’t want to lay on your deathbed wishing you had 

done more? Alright then. Let’s learn from this Stoic principle and apply it much like 

a literary device to our writing. When we use an overarching theme with purpose 

in our work it is known as a Trope. Tropes can be an artistic device in your visual 

work, a single literary device, or a group of literary devices used throughout the 

entire piece that maintains the overarching meaning of that piece. 

I would like to include a small excerpt of my writing this week to inspire us as we 

move into the practice portion of The Creative Writing Corner…so here are my 

Memento Mori notes from this week: 

Sometimes we wish to be anywhere else than where we are at the time, all the 

meanwhile missing the point of why we may be there in the first place. Don’t rob 

yourself of connection with others because you assume tomorrow will make its 

way to you and don’t assume that you will have another time to tell someone you 

love them. 

1/3


Now with these notes, let’s write together and practice our voices raised in 

harmony as we prepare for that day…the day we must die. The word life itself 

rests in the shadow of death so that tomorrow may bloom…so we write. 

Step 1: Get extremely Emo and grab your notebook and (black) pen! Our topic is 

Memento Mori, remember you must die. 

Step 2: This is where we will fill in the blanks with our information, jot down a 

couple things that relate to your topic. Here’s mine: Petals falling to new blooms in 

spring. Darkness. Feeling of lightness. Smiling as I see the light beckoning me. Proud 

of my life. 

Step 3: This is where we use our literary magic to wrap up the scene–close this 

poem with your unique perspective on life. Let me see: A moment is only now. 

Step 4: Put all the steps together and bonus if you use funky grammar and page 

placement to make your poem uniquely yours! 

2/3


Remember You Must Die 

Sweet Prince, 

remember you must die 

as the pale brown leaves fall 

to feel the plants for spring 


Sweet Child, 


as you eat your favorite sandwich 

at a corner cafe 

this moment now 

as the warm bean water 

slides milky down 


Sweet Existence, 

this moment 

nothing promised 

so make today 

every moment 

a legacy 

and then you will smile 

knowing you must die

Fenomeno is a drop featuring the work of twelve Brazilian artists 

all working in Web3. Curated by artist Peter Evans, who is from 

the UK but lives in Brazil, this collection celebrates the unique and 

varied creativity of artists from this incredible country. 

El Fenomeno (The phenomenon in English) was the nickname 

given to Brazilian footballer and my favourite player Ronaldo Luiz 

Nazario de Lima by the Italian press when he played for Inter Milan. 

This nickname referred to his extraordinary skill on the pitch. 

As an art lover I am constantly blown away by the skill and extraordinary 

talent of artists from Brazil working in this space. It's 

very often I see a work I like and find out not long after that the 

artist is from Brazil. It's something unique, beautiful, like a phenomenon 

and something I want to celebrate with this collection of 

artists from my adopted homeland.

Each artwork Bianca creates invites the viewer on a journey to discover the world through the eyes of a girl. 

Whether it is a cityscape, a country-scape, a starry night, her ability to capture the essence of the scene is remarkable. 

‘Atlas Express’ Edition x 5

Creating both 1/1 pieces and editions, Bianca’s artwork is detailed yet restrained. Her palette choice is deliberate, 

often subdued but always part of the story. ‘Endless Night’ 1/1 @jbgreen4

Much of her early work is monochromatic, where she uses subtle tonal gradations of black to create the image. A 

wonderful example of this is ‘Gallery’, one of the first pieces Bianca dropped on Solana. ‘Gallery’ Edition x 10

Another piece that features this similar palette is ‘Passing By’. In this piece the subject is merely an observer, contemplating 

a moment in time, neither past nor future. ‘Passing By’ Edition x 10

Two more pieces where Bianca uses color to enhance the visual imagery are ‘Serene Horizons’ @SeaS__3 and ‘Temple 

Garden’ @VainsangNFT. 

With a quality folio of work Bianca’s style is refreshing and crisp with a sense of tranquility. Use of color is a wonderful 

addition to her pieces, and her interpretation of the rural landscape is exciting. A bright future, watch this space...

@WiseWhales 

recap 

We are going to touch on @Solcasinoio who minted this week, @SolanaMBS who might finally be able to be purchased 

by @MonkeDAO, @oogyNFT and @DegenApeAcademy. 

Solcasino minted out & proceeded to 2x as soon as trading began. Flippers then took over & drove the floor back to mint 

levels. After announcing that holders would get refunded the mint price, the floor doubled again. Wise Whales have 

been mostly selling in the last 2 days. 

SMB has been grinding lower for weeks as the drama around their relationship with MonkeDAO hangs in the balance. 

The price trend changed yesterday after some positive rumblings. There have been a couple more buys than sales by 

Wise Whales in the last week. No clear pattern yet. 


Oogy started its mint yesterday but ran into issues and have paused mint until they can sort out the issues. Wise whales 

have been buying the dip. 

Degen Ape Academy has been enjoying the spotlight lately seeing its floor go from ~50 SOL to 78 SOL currently. Wise 

Whales have been buying consistently. The buy volume is greater than the sell volume over the last 7 days.

[ ... a spiritual journey ... ] Individual pieces. Individual memories. Straight from my diary. read below. 

I started writing daily 3 years ago to save all my experiences, thoughts, dreams... and over time I realized that I was capturing 

some of those memories with my camera. 

Around the time I started writing daily, I also started going out with my camera every day to capture moments on the 

streets. 


I was living in Rotterdam. I was in a different country from where I grew up, and that made me more curious to explore 

and capture humanity on the streets. Rott erdam is a city I will always remember... “Make It Happen”. 

My next adventure happened in Japan, a country I always dreamed of. I lived 7 months in Tokyo and from there I also 

had the chance to travel with my camera: Yokohama, Kyoto, Mount Fuji, Sapporo, Matsumoto... and I hope to come back 

soon.

It’s hard to describe my feelings about the impact Japan has had in a single tweet/thread, but I hope to show it through 

my work. 

Before going back to Spain, I stayed in Seoul for 5 days. I walked around 25,000 steps every day non-stop with my camera, 

finding amazing places and learning a lot about South Korea. Stay tuned for more photos from Seoul.

As I plan out my next destination, I would like to announce the release of this new series. Individual pieces based on 

moments of growth, peace, and inspiration that I find on my journey as an artist. Straight from my diary. 

First piece will be released on Monday. https://exchange.art/series/JOM’s%20Journal/nfts… 

Please feel free to send me a DM if you’re interested in collecting a piece or just want to say ‘hi’ and talk! Always happy 

to connect!!!! This is just the beginning.

I’ve been collecting art from multiple artists during all of the bear market. Most of them are pretty much unknown, or at 

least highly underrated. So, I’d like to highlight a few of them in this thread and I strongly encourage you all to give them 

a follow. 

Let’s start with@kokoabdan_ AKA Devil Dan. He is as humble as he is talented. He is behind the Underworld Degens collection 

new art as well as several collabs with DeGods and Primates with a great quality He also works on @StolensNFT 

and has his own auctions. Judge by yourself: 

If you’d like to see the process (I love that kind of videos myself), here you go! You like it? Go follow @kokoabdan_

Then, let’s talk about @artikudee. I discovered him quite Example of an animated artwork from @artikudee. You like it ? 

recently through @Pearlyrex who’s also an awesome artist 

too, but who is a bit more know in the space already. 

Go give him a follow. 

I love @artikudee clean and colourful style. I recently 

minted this one but he also makes animated ones.

Let’s continue with @NeuromindArt. He is an AI artist. I hear a lot of hate towards AI art, so let’s first address that shortly. 

People think that it’s not art, that it doesn’t require any work, or that the machine did all the job. That’s all wrong. It’s 

just a tool he masters. 

@NeuromindArt has been honing his skills as an artist since 2010 and started using AI in 2016. He’s a hard worker like 

I’ve rarely known and he has worked on the art for @NetrunnerNFT, Cyber Syndicate, @sol9lives and most recently @ 

AlphaPharaohs Seers. 

I’d say his main vibe and what defines his style revolves around the Cyberpunk universe, and he likes to create a whole 

lore alongside his creations. A few months ago, he started a collection named Quantum Architects on http://exchange. 

art along these lines.

@NeuromindArt works in collaboration with his wife @DarkLadySolana, a lovely woman that likes to create in a more 

fantasy theme, with elves, fairies, and mystical creatures or places. She also deserves a follow. Here are two pieces I 

collected from her.

In a very different style, I just discovered @BoxPalette and I couldn’t refrain myself from buying this beautiful piece. Go 

check her work, it’s very refreshing. 

I’d say his main vibe and what defines his style revolves around the Cyberpunk universe, and he likes to create a whole 

lore alongside his creations. A few months ago, he started a collection named Quantum Architects on http://exchange. 

art along these lines.

I’ll end with @Ubiquitous_Art, who is also an AI artist. He has his own strong style that I wouldn’t know how to describe 

with words but that he describes himself as “Psychedelic Sci-fi”. All I can say is that I vibe with a lot of his colourful pieces, 

just got this one btw. 

Ubiquitous is also the artist behind the famous @TheOrbitalNFT which recently launched with an awesome collection. 

So once more, don’t hesitate to follow him.
