"I have been doing pixel art ever since I was a kid, more than 13 years already but more or less as a hobby. Around 4 years ago I decided to take it seriously and began studying colour theory, pixel art theory and practicing with more intent. I believe that my experience's over the years have brought my art that was "ok" to a "good" level!
Around 2 years ago, I discovered web3 and NFTs. I dipped my toes in for a couple of months as an investor and speculator. Later I decided that I could mix my Pixel Artist persona with my web3 one! At that time I started creating PFP generative collection's for third parties as a freelancer. I have been doing free lance work ever since and recently decided to hop on the 1:1 wagon."

@bangkitha has been attracted to the world of art since he was 7 years old. Beginning from his addiction to his video games, which at the time were pixelated.
He began drawing in junior high where he would create many types of cartoons and game characters. As time passed his father noticed his passion for art and bought Bangkitha a pc for him to learn vector.
Over the years of developing his skills he began making avatars and gifs for a local forum in his country. This forum allowed him to develop a great reputation in the real world before going to college.
After college, Bangkitha began working at a hospital where he quickly realized the salary was not worth the effort spent. One morning a good friend of his reached out to him to share information about a growing world of digital art, Web 3.
He began to realize that he could monetize something he was truly passionate about without having to work for a business he didn't see a future in. Bangkitha has slowly became one of the most respected pixel artists in our ecosystem. We are priveledged to have you join our project along the way.

Marculino had his first introduction into the world of web 3 at the beginning of 2022. He was approached by a close friend who shared the opportunity with him. Because of this friend, he had his first opportunity to design a small collection that unfortunately never released.
After the disappointment from the collection not releasing, Marculino began to brainstorm on how he could bring his art to life in this ecosystem. Marculino decided to begin creating 1/1 art on Solana over 8 months ago.
Today, Marculino is one of the most prestigious pixel artists our ecosystem has ever seen. From outstanding creativity, to an incredibly hard working artist, Marculino brings much more to the table than what people could imagine.
We are beyond thrilled to work side by side with Marculino on this incredible collection and we could not be happier with the traits he has delivered as an artist.

Jazz is one of the youngest pixel artists within our ecosystem. His journey began when he came across a project called lil boogles that caught his attention. Intrigued by this collection he began taking pixel art serious which led him to being commissioned by a DAO to make them banners.
After honing is craft for months he took the leap into the 1/1 scene creating his own collection called Hoodles. Because of his decision to begin creating, he now can say that he has a community who loves his work and supports him to become better day by day.
