Making people laugh with your art and cartoons is a rare talent. We managed to speak with a master of such skill, Furkan. Nice to finally meet you Furkan. So, how long have you been an artist?

After an amateur start, I became a professional cartoonist when I was 18 years old. I’m 36 now and still drawing for art. Are you professionally trained? No, I am not – I progressed with the mentor-mentee relationship. I…

Humps is an NFT artist on a mission to create compelling and abstract 3D pieces using his software of choice, Blender. The collection BLOCs feels to us otherworldly, and is brilliant digital work. We recently caught up with the man himself, to learn more about his story and process. Hey Humps! How long have you been an artist?  Not that long actually, less than a year. I’ve never been the kind of guy to doodle or sketch things out. I picked up blender, with the idea in my mind of creating metal crystals, which gave rise to my first collection.…

According to Microsoft’s Work Trend Index 2022, 51% of gen Z and 48% of millennials envision working in the metaverse in the next two years. An extraordinary statistic, considering that the metaverse itself has only been in and around our periphery for a small number of years. So, why jump ship from what you know and love to work in Web3? Here are four reasons: 1) Salary There is no denying that the…

Forum is a platform to create your own web3 investment club. Their mission is to make it as easy as possible for people to get together and invest with others. It all started with the simple belief that investing together is more fun than going it alone. Building a portfolio can be seen as a social activity or intellectual challenge as much as a way to make money. While there are some other DAO tools or multi-signature wallets out there, the Forum team have taken an approach which focuses on retail investors. So their intuitive user interface, accessible on both…

He walks us through a day in the life of being an NFT artist, ceaseless creative, and all-round legend. We talk flow-states, how storytelling influences his art, and the ways in which he supports important causes beyond the world of Web3. Can you run me through a day in the life of Scribble Warlock? What does it look like? So – two essential parts of the day are caffeine, and yoga/pilates. Body work really helps with my mental…

The best time to build is when people aren’t watching. That way you can make mistakes, learn from them, and master your craft before their eyes are on you.

(The above image is a clipping from a UK newspaper over twenty years ago) While the rest of the world was reeling after the global financial crisis of 1907, General Motors launched. In the…

In late August a piece of AI generated art won the first prize in a prestigious fine art competition. This sparked outrage within the art community, and the debate still ensues, is this a form of cheating?

AI Art generation is used by artists and non-artists, to create innovative concepts and aesthetics whilst embracing the interaction between accident and control.
