This Series aims a satirical/surrealist eye at 'big-shot' personalities from all walks of life - Phase 1 features celebrity play-boy entrepreneurs Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Richard Branson. These characters began as 3D head busts created using VR design software, I then created scenes for them using desktop based 3D software.
​
BIG SHOTS - Phase 1 was released and auctioned on Nifty Gateway in August 2022.
This NFT series is intended as a playful dedication to Vitalik Buterin the founder of the ETHEREUM Crypto Currency.
​
Picture a distorted mirror world reflecting the exploits of Vitalik Buterin and as the mist clears you may just glimpse these weird and wonderful fantasy multiverse personifications of the man himself, reflections of the disruptive, speculative, futurist, playful nature of his public persona.
Superrare was the second NFT Gallery Platform that I was short-listed for after joining the space and their usp is strictly 1/1, single editions.​
​
I have released a variety of 3D sculpts and video art pieces on SR to date and very much appreciate the format & feel of their site as well as their approach to the CryptoArt space in general.
Known Origin is where I minted my first NFTs in early 2020 and where my artwork was almost exclusively bought by the very prominent but elusive ‘WHALE’ (major NFT Collector) known as MODERATS. All of these artworks were created exclusively using VR based design software.
‘Full Bloom’ which features music by Spanish producer Skygaze was also selected & shown at the now legendary NFT NYC event - DREAMVERSE - which also featured the likes of BEEPLE and FEWOCIOUS amongst other famous names in the NFT space.
A dream-like and timeless animated short film exploring themes of creation & destruction and the flow of energy through the cosmos, with a superb and evocative soundtrack created by Oliver Emanuel AKA - Triple Skull Detonator.
​
From eerie clouds of silence a colossal explosion releases mythological birds which spread stardust and life through the cosmos. We swoop through cellular lifeforms becoming larger majestic beasts which consume one another, cycles of sex, life and death, a chaotic celebration.
​A short VR art film inspired by a piece of piano music - Gliding on Ice by composer Charlotte Emanuel.
​
A delicate ice fairy is released from a snowflake to wander for a brief time through a silent frozen wood, she shares a brief moment with a falling blossom and before vanishing leaves a beautiful etching on the ice around her.

Since I dropped these guys on Rarible there have been a bunch of Mecha themed NFT projects released many of which have been well funded and marketed as large scale projects. My CryptoMechaz was a smaller scale exploration of this theme and I'm proud to say that to my knowledge I was the first artist dropping Mecha NFTs in the CryptoArt space.
Being an 80s child, watching Transformers on TV then later getting into Mecha themed Anime, this project has been a celebration of my love for Mecha with a Crypto themed twist - You can find some of the Big tokens, whales, platforms and artists represented in bad-ass Mecha form.
