🎨 ARTIST DISCOVERY EP #12 IS HERE!! 🎨
If you're new here, my goal each time is to spotlight new and emerging artists in the SOL space to make it easier for collectors to discover undervalued talent. The inflow of new artists makes it hard to keep up, but lets gooooo
1/ First up, backlink to my last Discovery post so you can track backwards if you're new to these write ups. Now let's get into the talent!

2/ @a_masudii
Arman's beautifully painted landscapes are heavy on cool greens & blues, evoking a peaceful nostalgia for anyone who grew up or spent time in rural locales. For me, the nostalgia is 2x as his style evokes fond memories of a Monet print my mother adored.
3/ @Nobody_club3
A true multi-disciplinary artist, Mr. Nobody has impressed me with their drive and sheer determination. Versatility and skillset are clearly there, and I think as time goes on they will grow their collector base and audience enough to break through.
4/ @kiramotosan
Super distinct style full of color pops and rebellious characters, @kiramotosan aims to portray web3 participants from the lens of a "normie". Masked like thieves and degenerates, they go about their IRL lives and you have to wonder... are they (we) really so bad?
5/ @Mr_HPpD
Glitchy, disorderly, trippy works. There's so much palpable energy wrapped into these pieces and it just feels like the blockchain is spilling out onto the screen. It seems like he's embodying the dawn of web3 in visual form and I want a piece of this history.
6/ @HrishNft
Iranian pro artist with an MFA that uses a variety of mediums. His works span multiple styles, but my favorites are his vibrant depictions of women with beautiful flowing hair. To me, they tell a story of power & defiance in a culture of historic female oppression.
7/ @ikulpix
A real gem of a photographer with super accessible prices. He's prolific, to be sure, but some of his work rivals some of the best photographers in the space. His bnw series Monihon, which chronicles life in Japan, is raw and powerful.
8/ @cuchatelain
I'm obsessed with work that feels like exceptional traditional art, but weaves in new age elements like animation and sound. This is revolutionary work that I believe will come to represent the digital renaissance.

9/ @OParhamO
Their 3D work on @formfunction caught my eye immediately. The landscape series, with its beautiful gem-like clouds and low poly trees, transports you to a Pixar-like world of tranquility. Their futuristic series, which follows a lonely robot, is also 🤌🤌
10/ That's a wrap for episode #12! As always, I appreciate any and all RTs and QT's to spread these artists as far and wide as humanly possible.
Also, feel free to comment with any artists you think deserve a spotlight in a future episode.
