We got to know the creator of ARTIKORDS NFTs, Star_boy or Swetank, (last interview: artikords)
His infamous “Welcome to the Juungle” artwork, which simply but straightforwardly welcomes all folks into the Juungle community. I personally like his hand made NFTs, which he processed through Photoshop for touch-ups and so as to digitalize it. Isn’t it cool?
He is a collector and a master trader of rare and expensive male waifus. One of his male waifus sold at 1.23 BCH. Star_boy or @swetank is also a computer science engineer and a professional developer and has won plenty art competitions
His mother is his biggest fan and is his inspiration to create and mint NFTs. She greatly believes in her son’s talent so she pushed him to dive into the Juungle community.
What are your goals and what do you want to achieve in your project?
Not much, couple of good folks to enjoy what I make, including my mom. I do all my art late at night, I believe some sort of creative power flows through me that time. Art is something which is timeless, time can't control it. You see Mona Lisa, see cave paintings. In physics also if you could get get past the 4th dimension (which is time) you will reach future. I think a good artist posses the power to see future this is why he/she is able to create timeless art.
What is the story behind your collection?
ARTIKORDS is formed from two words ARTI and CORDS. Art is self-explanatory. The word "Arti" is also a Sanskrit word which means Worship or Hymns sang in praise of god. Cords means wires, since I am a technical guy who deals with computers and stuff. Its a good mashup don't you think ?

Tell us more about yourself and your NFT collection. (For the introduction to the readers).
I started off as just an agent for Photoyshop, Justin Luis Vargas, and lucivay. I later decided to try my own hand at creating NFTs with my So Happy I Tried series.
Can you tell us what inspired you the most to start the project?
MONEY! I can't lie. I saw a gold rush and I ran along with the stampede.
What are your goals and what do you want to achieve in your project?
My goals are to promote and sell brands while also being a proponent for cryptocurrency.
What is the story behind your collection?
My brother is Photoyshop and he has been doing toy Photography for YEARS. Justin Luis Vargas has also been doing pop culture artwork for many years and is a family friend. lucivay is a very promising artist and a very busy person whom I see great things coming from in the future! So Happy I Tried is kind of a joke series I made with some unique features.
Why did you focus in your chosen category?
I fully believe in the work done by my clients.
Why did you choose Juungle.net? How is it different from other NFT Marketplaces.
I have a lot of faith in Bitcoin Cash. When I jumped into the Juungle, I saw real opportunity in selling NFTs on the BCH blockchain. There have been growing pains, but Juungle is still the #1 BCH Marketplace, and JT has been working his butt off to improve it each week.
What kind of method did you use for minting and creating NFTs?
I used Electron Cash SLP. I wrote an article about it. :)
What do you think will be the future of Juungle.net?
I think that it will have advantages due to being first-to-market in the BCH NFT scene, but it's still questionable due to BCH not being first-to-market with NFT overall. I have high hopes for Juungle. If anyone can make it with BCH NFT, it will be Juungle.
Besides BCH, what other cryptocurrencies do you have in your portfolio?
I have some Nano and Banano. I also have like $0.25 of BSV sitting in a custodial wallet. I just traded my remaining LTC today for BCH. Every month I get BAT from my Brave earnings that I immediately trade for BCH.
What is your message to all the Juungle and Bitcoin Cash community?
Stay the course. Market your ass off. Don't give up. Keep working hard to make BCH an attractive blockchain for NFT!
Feedback
Some features I'd like to see are a mobile Juungle wallet that doesn't depend on other wallets, Auctions, a barebones NFT Manager software that uses the Juungle API to make managing your NFTs for sale a bit easier, and a lot more work needs to be put in to the front page. Currently, even though it was overhauled, it is very clearly being manipulated by bad actors.
Suggestions for improvement
See feedback.
By answering those questions, we would like to know if you want to include all those information before we publish the article with regards to this matter.
Yes
∆Other:
Do you have a site or social media account for your NFTs? You can include it here so that we can plug it into the article.
Thank you for answering!
