Hi there art lovers around the world, welcome to another edition of CryptoArt Sundays! This week we have the impeccable Zahra Parkah.

Zahra is an illustrator and painter form Iran, with a talent for creating digital artworks with potent messages about society and the struggle of women. Zahra is dedicated to representing socially suppressed women through her art and raising awareness around these issues.

Let’s find out more about her below!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

I got to know about NFTs through my friends. When I got to know more about NFTs, it was a very attractive space for me and I felt that my paintings have the ability to become an NFT.

Zahra

How often do you create?

From the first day, I minted 3 works and whenever a work is sold, I add a work twice.

flight

 

What is your creative process?

I depict my intellectual concerns and mostly deal with social events in dealing with women. Women who are subjected to violence and fight for their beliefs.

spicey

 

What do you think the future of CryptoArt will look like?

In my opinion, CryptoArt will cover a large part of the world in the future and replace traditional buying and selling, but painting on canvas and exhibiting in the art space is very enjoyable for me.

frough

What are you currently working on?

I am currently working on my new collection.

Hi there CryptoArt lovers! This will be our final column in the CryptoArt Sundays series which has been running for almost two years now. Our team has new things coming up, so don’t worry, more fabulous content is being created while you’re reading this!

For this final round, we have a rather unusual artist, an architect in fact. Because why not end it off with a twist! Meet the amazing JVLIVS, an artist, architect and most of all alchemist. So what is this is all about, you ask?

Well let’s jump right in and find out more!

How did you come to NFTs and what impact has it had on you?

It was while watching a TEDX conference by Yoyo MAEGHT that I became interested in it. The NFTs panicked the media when a work reached more than 60 million euros on the blockchain. A revolution for artists and for the art world.

Far from making Yoyo Maeght tremble, having grown up surrounded by artists, notably Miró or Giacometti, she explains and presents the opportunities offered by NFTs in the art world of tomorrow. I fully share his point of view. And I take this opportunity to advise you to visit the MAEGHT Foundation located in Saint-Paul-de-Vence in France.

Winter

When did you start your architectural journey and how did you get good?

My architectural journey began with my architecture studies and continued with my professional experiences. It is with passion, work, rigor that one becomes good. Am I good? I do not know. It’s up to you to tell me.

The Desert House

Which architects inspire you the most? Someone you admire?

The architect who influenced me the most is undoubtedly Le Corbusier. I visited all these projects in France and I read many of his books. He is a Master. A reference. A compass.

Louis Kahn also inspired me a lot. Otherwise, when it comes to contemporary architects, I love the projects of Rudy Ricciotti, Peter Zumthor, BIG, Jean Nouvel, Emmanuelle & Laurent Beaudouin.

Pyramid

What is one thing you wish you had known when you started in architecture?

I would have liked to know that being an architect is both the most beautiful and the most difficult of professions. It is the perfect balance between Art and Science. It takes a lot of skills. And it is with modesty and patience that I try to progress day after day.

Crystal

Where can we buy your architectural NFTs?

My NFTs are currently available for sale on MakersPlace. They are also available for free at the moment on OpenSea. And I think I will register soon on SuperRare and Foundation.

Welcome to another epic round of CryptoArt Sundays, featuring VOLOVISIONS!

VOLOVISIONS aka Oliver Brusca is a visionary artist bridging the realms of the seen and unseen through his incredible talent for colours, imagery, and painting. His focus is on traditional painting as well as digital art, and his artworks express visual information from visionary states, dreams, and out of body experiences.

I bet by now you’re wondering more about who he is and his artworks, so let’s dive in as we always do!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

The word about NFTs has spread all over the online artist communities that I’m a part of and although I didn’t pay much attention to it in the beginning, I recently took the deep dive into researching what is possible with NFTs and the different marketplaces that are currency around.

At first I was just getting to know how the NFT space operates by putting a few pieces on various platforms, and now I am getting excited about the creative potential for NFT art and the story/message that I can start to weave through what I’m offering.

Volo

How often do you create?

My creation cycles come in waves. When I am feeling very inspired and activated, I will usually be in an ecstatic state where I’m creating art everyday for weeks or months on end!

At a certain point I can feel that wave shifting and needing some time to rest and re-gather new ideas.

Tripster

What is your creative process?


My creative process varies quite a bit depending on the medium, but most of my ideas start from imagery in dreams, meditations, and from various out of body experiences. I’ve had quite a visual experience in what I can vaguely put across as realms unseen in our usual state of consciousness.
My art expression has been a way for me to process these very abstract and mysterious visuals from visionary states. I will usually start with a very rough sketch of this, sometimes done in the middle of the night – which I eventually will spend time working into a more complex graphite sketch.
Rebirth
From this more refined sketch I will further refine it with pen until I have the imagery as rendered as I want it to be. Sometimes I like to just leave the pieces in black and white pen/ink – but lately I’ve been taking these drawings and transferring them onto canvas for painting which is another way to further evolve the image.
If I am working digital – I will still oftentimes start with the sketch, scan and upload it so I have a starting place to work with.

Are there any CryptoArtists you would love to collaborate with?

There are a lot of traditional painters that I greatly admire and would love to collaborate with (Izzy Ivy, Luke Schroeder, Vajra, Joseph Skala, Seth McMahon) just to name a few.

I’m still getting acclimated with the ‘CryptoArtists’ and finding the ones that I feel inspired by, but I have more history and connections in the world of traditional painters.
Some of them may also have NFTs available, but I wouldn’t call them exclusively crypto artists.
Psychic Shield

What do you think the future of CryptoArt will look like?

It’s hard to say! The honest answer is I have no idea. The direction I would be inspired by, would be to see crypto art allow for a more in depth presentation of art, with words/video/music/imagery all combined together into a cohesive piece.

Gateway

What are you currently working on?

Currently I have many works in progress going per usual! I have a few large canvas paintings that I’m working to finish up and digitize along with some new sketches that are in the birthing stages which will eventually make their way onto the canvas or digital.

I’m also looking into creative ways to combine my art and music together into a unique piece which I can’t quite fully explain yet, but it is in the works 🙂

Convergence

Where can collectors find your work?

I have NFTs available on the following platforms MakersPlace, Foundation, objkt, and my website.

Hey all! Welcome to another epic round of CryptoArt Sundays!

I’m so excited once again as  get to introduce you to a new, amazing artist this weekend – Mist Grafik. He is an absolute superstar freelance artist and illustrator based in Sweden. His artworks are mostly influenced by science fiction, fantasy and surreal comic book art.

So let’s check it out and find out more about his NFT art journey!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

It must have been about two years since I read about NFTs for the first time, but back then I really didn’t pay much attention to it. My interest has since then gradually been growing, although it wasn’t until about two months ago that I finally decided to actually get involved for real.

I guess what attracted me the most was the idea of anyone being able to easily acquire a part of an artist’s gallery, regardless of geographical or other boundaries. I also admire the community in which all the action takes place, it’s quite a unique blend of people aiming for the same goals.

Unexpected

How often do you create?

It varies a lot, but I try to create something for my own pleasure every day just to remain sane. I also tend to quickly lose my edge unless I keep up a momentum – it has happened several times in the past and I do whatever I can to avoid it.

Southern Brridge

What is your creative process?

Most of the time I start with an initial rough idea that I allow to evolve in my mind over time as I go along working on it. My workflow doesn’t exactly follow any specific route and it can come across as quite chaotic sometimes, not least to myself.

playful Magic

Are there any CryptoArtists you would love to collaborate with?

Actually I’m a bit of a lone wolf when it comes to my creative work. However, in the cryptoart world, if I was given the opportunity I wouldn’t mind working with Dres13 or RVREexe. They are both excellent artists.

Ikiriyos Arrival

What do you think the future of CryptoArt will look like?

That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? Since my experience in this area still is very limited I’m not exactly a very reliable source to ask for predictions or analyses.

If I had to make a guess my gut feeling tells me NFTs are definitely here to stay. Whether it will actually become a part of our daily life, or if it will keep on being used in separate segments of society remains to be seen.

Harrasment Proof

What are you currently working on?

Apart from a few commissions I have two series of pieces I’m currently working on, called ”Hansagard Moments” and ”The Lyrean Chronicles”. Although they are quite different from each other, both of them originate from the same fictional world.

I hope I will be able to elaborate these concepts over the next six months or so, maybe longer.

Where can collectors find your work?

My NFTs are available on Foundation, KnownOrigin, and since just recently MakersPlace.

Welcome to CryptoArt Sundays! This week I’m excited to introduce you to the wonderful work of Joel Astor.

Joel is a contemporary digital artist who is a master of modern surrealism. I was immediately drawn to his enigmatic style of art and the way he blends different styles together.

So let’s dive in and find out more about his journey as an artist in the wacky world of NFTs!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

Since about 2018 I have been in the crypto world learning about trading…and one of the things you learn first is to check all the news every morning, so that made me aware of this whole world of NFTs.

I have been a graphic designer for more than 7 years and I have always done photomanipulation as a hobby, I love creating scenarios and fantasy situations.

My entry into the world of NFTs was somewhat hectic, I was a victim of a scam on the freelancing website where I worked and that forced me to look for other sources of income, in all that research I discovered that I could create my NFTs on the polygon matic network totally free (I always thought that minting was expensive) so I decided to finish several animated arts I was working on and minted my first NFT on September 29, 2021 and just a month after that, I got the message of happiness “Your Item Sold!”

There I understood that it was possible to dedicate myself to what I liked and live from it.

AION

How often do you create?

Depending on the complexity of the art, between 1-3 artworks every two weeks. If they are animated they can take up to 3 weeks per piece. Although this is variable, if I have a good streak of inspiration I could do up to 5 in a week.

Bird lady

What is your creative process?

If I had to describe my process, it would be like solving a puzzle. I always have an idea or the sensation of something in my head, so I approach it in different ways, sometimes I start to make sketches, sometimes I put together a moodboard or sometimes I just collect resources in image banks that I like, then with all the pieces I begin to put it together until everything makes sense in front of my eyes.

Blue Dreams

Are there any CryptoArtists you would love to collaborate with?

There are many artists that I admire, both famous and emerging talents. But I would like to one day collaborate with the artist who has been part of the inspiration in my work, Marcel Van Luit.

Joel Astor

What do you think the future of CryptoArt will look like?

The future is very hopeful, we are seeing how NFTs are becoming part of everything, movies, music, video games…and people who previously seemed skeptical are slowly accepting them. Just thinking that artists can do what they love and gain recognition and make a living from art is worth it. The great advances that will take place in the coming months will be related to AI art.

Pepe King

What are you currently working on?

I am currently working on the second drop of my LIFE PATHS Collection which is a combination of steampunk – the gods Chronos/Aion/Kairos from Greek mythology and my surreal touch. The first drop “Aion” is available on KnowOrigin.

There are only 100 editions at 0.005 ETH, an affordable price for those who want to acquire it. AION collectors will have surprise drops in the future as well as access to the Kairos and Chronos white list.

Shine and Shade

Where can collectors find your work?

Collectors can reach all my NFT art and social networks here.

Welcome to the best part of Sunday – CryptoArt Sundays! After almost two successful years of running this column and supporting the best artists in the space, this will be our last weekly NFT art interview, and our interviews will take place biweekly from now on. This is because we’re making room for NFT photographers, whom we will start featuring biweekly as well. Stay tuned for the release of the brand new column very soon!

This week I’m thrilled and super excited to introduce you to an incredible and mystical artist – Lunula. I adore her artistic style and blend of colours, and especially her other-worldly collection Cosmic Fairies. So, let’s dive in and find out more about her NFT art journey and see some of the stunning artworks she has created so far!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

I found out about the NFT space from my friends about a year ago. After getting to know the dynamics of the NFT community, I became very eager to explore the digital medium!

I loved that so many unknown artists from around the globe put out NFTs and sold very fast in comparison to exhibiting their art in traditional galleries! Artists had access to this new realm of opportunity as long as they had an internet connection and some technology.

What is your creative process?

Being recently self-taught, I only did traditional paint-on-canvas type of art before. I had to purchase a tablet and continue improving my skills. I ended up liking Krita, a free program very similar to Photoshop and started to love digital drawing so much. It’s so cool to see where it’s taking my creativity to!

Gamayuna

The initial line work is usually very quick and satisfying. It feels like I’m reverse chiseling out the lines from the ethers, and I love it! Then the coloring part is more difficult because I’m indecisive about what colors to use. There are so many possibilities and I usually love each one! But I ended up sticking to gold, silver and vibrant metallic palettes over simple black backgrounds.

Have you connected with the NFT community?

After being introduced to Twitter, I became fond of the spaces hosted there. Once I got over my shyness, I started to speak more and make interesting connections! It’s been fun vibing out with diverse souls from around the globe.

Eydis

A few times now, I’ve been on spaces that turned into profound experiences with beautiful souls supporting one another and sharing with vulnerability, straight from their hearts. The NFT community makes me feel excited and very hopeful about the future of artistry!

Tell us more about your Cosmic Fairies collection.

I ended up making a 1/1 collection named “Cosmic Fairies” on OpenSea. The utility of each of the NFTs is the intention behind it and what the image is supporting its collector with, such as; alchemy, unity, and brilliance. Each NFT tells a story that is rooted in mysticism, folklore, and mythology. The Cosmic Fairies collection grew out of my experiences with cannabis and psychedelics. Very often when I smoke cannabis, I receive an image that is imprinted in my mind until I get it out by drawing.

A lot of intention went into the glyph symbols present in Cosmic Fairies. They are a representation of interstellar codes of light. Like a language, these codes emerge out of the nothingness and weave together into the tapestry of existence.

Cosmic Fairy

Drawing glyphs is a meditative experience for me. I feel into what is needed in each spot and go from there. It feels fun to make them up as I go. A few were inspired by or taken from the proto-Slavic glyphs. I ended up putting the same exact sequence, that spells my first name, in each artwork as a form of a hidden signature.

Cosmic Fairies were inspired from mythological entities and archeological figurines, like the ones of the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture, a matriarchal civilization, in what is now Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine. This culture predated the earliest known cities of ancient Mesopotamia! I felt like my inner cosmic witch woke up when I saw the Cucuteni goddess figurines and pottery!

What are you currently working on?

I’m currently working on NFTs that depict star portals to add to the same collection. I just completed the first one named Garden of Mu. I wanted to try something different, so I’m releasing it as an edition of 10/10 instead of 1/1. That way collectors with a smaller budget could have access to the collection as well.

Mercurya

It will be very heartwarming for me to get to know the collectors and hopefully form a community of cosmic witch art enthusiasts!!! The NFT space is a whole new realm full of opportunities and fun connections. I’m stoked to see it bring out something meaningful from humanity. Hopefully, it will usher in the golden age of artistry!

Welcome to CryptoArt Sundays! Today I bring to you the wonderful Aku Napie! Aku is a full time visual artist with multiple styles of artwork such as doodles, comics, and cartoons.

I’m absolutely in love with the colourful, eccentric, and fun artworks of Aku. All their artworks encompass a variety of colours, themes, and styles, bringing a childlike, joyous feeling.

So let’s check out some of Aku’s cool art below, and see what they have to say about their journey in the NFT space!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

I found out about NFTs through friends and also some websites that provide info and news about crypto. I think around the end of 2020. But I wasn’t brave enough to join right away. What made me interested is the wide range of possibilities for others to know about my work. Maybe the collector of my work is thousands of kilometers away from me and they still have access to it.
Aku Cartoon

How often do you create?

For now I produce about 7-8 artworks every week. I practice everyday to improve my style and skill.
Cats Camping

What is your creative process?

My creative process starts by listening to a song or watching a cartoon. After that if there is an idea I will continue to sketch it before drawing, with the iPad digitally. The rest is also done digitally.
Aku Napie

Are there any CryptoArtists you would love to collaborate with?

I really admire artist for BAYC and Cool Cats. Their artwork looks stunning and recognizable too.
Weekend Camping

What do you think the future of CryptoArt will look like?

I think in the future many companies, brands, and people will interested and join together. Anything happen with NFTs for sure.
Lets Picnic

What are you currently working on?

I’m working on completing my collection since last year. My target is 300 items in the collection. As this is 1/1 the progress is very slow. For now I think around 230 are ready. Besides that, I also do collabs with others and explore new NFT platforms too.

Where can collectors find your work?

All of my works can be found here.

Welcome to CryptoArt Sundays art fanatics! Today we have the incredible artist Patrick Hughes with us. Patrick held his first solo show in 1961 at the Portal Gallery, London, and it was the first one-man show by a Pop Artist!

For the last 25 years his 3-D reverspective paintings have been hugely in demand, exhibited around the world, and featured in many public collections. Patrick recently ventured into the NFT space, bringing a new twist to CryptoArt. I highly recommend checking out his motion art pieces on MakersPlace to experience his artworks fully.

So let’s find out more about what inspires him and his creative process!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

I was asked by three different producers if I would like to make an NFT and I decided on Jacob Elmon of Vtail and Toby O’Connor of Coinllectibles. Jacob is very entrepreneurial and Toby had the extra idea of selling an original painting.

It is attractive to know that many people own a bit of me, one of the aims of art is to have your imagination seen by other people, instead of it just hunkering down in your own skull, so other people can appreciate and criticise it.

I also like the idea that an NFT is ethereal, that it only exists in the ether, because ideas are ethereal, they are connections in our brains, which enable us to communicate ideas to other people. One of the wonderful things about NFTs is that they can be moving, videos, which is the best way to see my work – in motion like ourselves.

Wall of Art

How often do you create?

It depends what you value as to what it is one creates. If you create the idea of relativity like Einstein you have created an idea that understands the world, if you are a barista and create a cappuccino with a heart on the surface you have simply pleased a customer.

I had the big idea of reverspective sixty years ago and I have had several ideas, perhaps ten, of how to develop it. If I have a new idea, like cutting in a box into the sticking-out perspective, that might be once a year.

But if I have an idea to create a broader or narrower end on a shape, that could happen every day. I try to draw in my sketch book at least every day, but I am often waylaid by circumstance.

Reverspective

What is your creative process?

I am often stimulated by something I see, or by something that I have done and can use some more in a different way, or something that just happens to catch my eye. When one is travelling alone, or in an empty frame of mind, ideas can just occur to you, to fill the space in your head. When I have an idea I like to note it down right away.

How to work it up into a viable work of art is a difficult thing, it is easy to make something the wrong size or shape or colour or in the wrong material – these judgements can be helped a lot by other people, other people can sometime miss the import of an idea, but other people usually know if the design is appropriate.

Patrick Hughes

What are you currently working on?

I am currently working on my dice, inverted cubes in perspective. I have decided that they are best as free-hanging dice, just hovering in the air as if they have been tossed up to fall in a lucky or unlucky way. The dice is a white cube with black dots, a simple and pure example of reverspective at work.

I first had the idea to have the dice on the wall of a reverspective, about three years ago, and then I had the idea of liberating the individual dice to hang on the wall on their lonesome. Since dice have to tumble to gain use, the apparent movement as we move in front of them seems such a good idea.

Riverside

Where can collectors find your work?

Collectors can find my work in forty galleries in Europe, the U.S.A. and the Far East. Several galleries are mentioned on my website, and my NFT art is on MakersPlace.

Welcome to another epic round of CryptoArt Sundays! I’m so excited to introduce you to Ace Wilborne, an extremely talented artist with the most stunning artworks and style!

Her iconic Iya Oba (Queen Mother) hand-drawn artworks depict the beauty of black women and African culture, with the emphasis on women empowerment, culture and inclusivity. Not only is Ace a full time graphic designer and creator, but since joining the NFT space she has also taught herself Solidity Smart Contract writing, building minting dApps (websites) both from scratch and using WordPress, and developed a PFP project from start to finish.

So, let’s find out more about her journey in the web3 scene, and what she thinks about the future of NFT art!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

In my artistic journey I have always been looking for ways to bring my art in front of an audience. Starting in the art scene, it can be quite difficult to discover your niche and especially WHERE to find your audience.

My interest for NFTs began when I was scrolling through Facebook and saw that a friend of mine shared an article where someone in my hometown sold an art piece for a huge amount of money. What got my interest was not the amount of money, it was that he sold his piece as an NFT for a certain amount of ETH.

So I began researching NFTs. Luckily I have been saving up some crypto, especially BTC, so it wasn’t hard understanding the connection with Ethereum. I stumbled upon platforms like OpenSea, Foundation, Mintable and Rarible and experimented with them so find out which was the cheapest to mint my first works on.

Iya Oba

How often do you create?

I create EVERY DAY, not particularly for this collection. But creating is my job, literally. I am a Graphic Designer at an Online Marketing agency, and I studied Graphic Design at Willem de Kooning Art Academy in The Netherlands.

Ayaba Iya Oba

What is your creative process?

Before I start creating I look up inspiration since I like to base my art on real life things. Though some of mine is pure fiction, I do like to use real life references. I then start sketching and then scan and complete the piece digitally. I almost never stop to take a step back and review my work until I think it’s done, because I’m afraid I might get too perfectionistic about it and change things.

Ayaba Iya

Are there any CryptoArtists you would love to collaborate with?

Definitely! I have been in contact with a bunch of different artists on Twitter. I never managed to successfully collaborate with any of them, since I did not think it would be in my schedule back then. But I am always open to pick that back up.

Ayaba Oba

What do you think the future of CryptoArt will look like?

Even though a lot of people in the web3/NFT space predict that it might die out, I feel like it’s only the start for new/upcoming artists. I came into the scene when CryptoArt was already hot, I experienced both the bull and bear market, and currently witnessing it gaining more attention as we go! Selling my art as CryptoArt allowed me to earn from it for the first time as an independent artist. The market has been unstable for a while, but that goes for everything that is new.

Ayaba

What are you currently working on?

I am currently exploring new styles that still fit within my artistic identity. I just recently dropped four separate edition pieces on OpenSea in a collection called “Dohmen”. I feel like I’m still finding myself as an artist and there’s new ideas going through my head every day. Other than that I’m just taking it easy with pushing myself to create a new piece to sell, since college requests my attention but I also experienced a burnout during the bull market in NFTs earlier this year.

Queen Mother

Where can collectors find your work?

My work is available on both OpenSea and Foundation.

Welcome to CryptoArt Sundays! This week we catch up with the incredibly talented NFT artist Evgeni Silman. I found Evgeni’s art while doing one of my favorite things – scrolling through MakersPlace on the hunt for cool artists!

Evgeni is a a software developer with a passion for visual art, especially modern art, which is seen in his works of expressionism and surrealism. He’s had quite an interesting journey in the NFT space since he started his art journey in 2020.

So, let’s dive in and find out about his views on the future of CryptoArt and more!

How did you find out about the NFT space, and what attracted you to create your own NFTs?

As a software developer who has spent his entire life in high-tech companies, I have been familiar with NFTs since their inception. In 2020, at the beginning of the Covid pandemic, I started studying painting with my friend, art teacher Vika Hasidovsky. Soon after, I moved on to digital painting. I think it’s quite natural that a digital artist at some point tries to create an NFT and thus find an analogy to the uniqueness of traditional artwork.

How often do you create?

Every day. At least a few quick sketches.

What is your creative process?

I usually do 10-20 sketches a day. Almost all of them on the iPad in ProCreate. Some of them are sketches from nature or from memory. Some are compositional abstractions and automatic drawings. Occasionally illustrations of an idea or action. So I always have a large amount of raw material to choose from for the paintings I make in Rebelle.

Are there any CryptoArtists you would love to collaborate with?

There are many CryptoArtists whose work I like. For example, Marcel Caram, and Yaroslav Shkriblyak. Some of them are also well known for their work with traditional media, like Michael Hafftka.

But I am not sure about collaboration. In my opinion, creativity is an intimate process. Is it possible to share it with someone? In any case, it is impossible to understand it through the works. I sincerely love Caravaggio’s paintings, but I would hardly be able to collaborate with him :).

What do you think the future of CryptoArt will look like?

I believe in the near future we will see how CryptoArt becomes commensurate in the mass consciousness with traditional art and takes its appropriate place in the museum space. As for the more distant future, only one thing can be said: it will not be the way we expect.

Galatea

What are you currently working on?

It’s a somewhat odd project that I’m slowly working on while the sketches pile up. Imagine illustrations for traditional Biblical stories, but in a world left without divine mercy. God is gone. The tired angel is sleeping, and there is no one to take away the hand of Abraham, who froze in horror over his son.

Where can collectors find your work?

On MakersPlaceInstagram, and on my website.
