Meet the artist behind STONED SHAWTY

So let me start I have ben watching this artist for a while and he reminds me of Stocci when he first started and I think this artist is now starting to find his feet in the WAX world so check him out .

Hey Bro how's things ?

All right bro, a little thoughtful about the movie seen yesterday . What about you ?

Counting down the hour till I go home !

Are you working ?

Somewhat lol . Are you working on the project today ?

Yep I’m working on a series of 5 table about the story of Pinocchio . Unfortunately my graphics tablet is under repair now, I am with a replacement one but I'm having slight difficulty .. but it continues .

What happened it ?

I dropped a glass on the screen, so let's say that I couldn't use it in those conditions🥺

Oh god . So how did your journey begin into NFTs ?

About a year and a half ago a friend told me about these NFTs ,explained a few things to me so we decided to start a NFT project on Atomic hub based on digital pills, also receiving some interest (however small) from the community .

Oh cool is that project dead ?

Absolutely not, we're taking a time to work on a p2e game based on the collection

Oh cool can you tell us the name of that project ?

Of course! the collection name is Ultra Pills . Here is the link if you like to take a look

Was WAX always going to be the blockchain for your projects ?

I really think so, I like the wax community .

What was the inspiration behind your new project ?

In the first works I let the imagination travel, there was a person who inspired some of my drawings .. later I started thinking a bit more about it and making more elaborate drawings and now I spend a little more time on it than before.

How long you been working on this project ?

On my personal collection about drawings for about 3/4 months .

How many NFTs have you dropped since you launched ?

About 60/70 since I started .

What has been your favorite ?

My favorite are these, made in emotionally particular moments .

Can I ask why ?

I broke up with my girlfriend, and it hurt a little bit...I was quite worn out by the situation .

Ah sorry to hear that what is the process behind creating your art ?

No problem man, later I started working on it differently ...

I am guessing these are drawn on a tablet do you use any programs ?

Yep I use Corel painter essential 8 .

Ah how long would you work on each NFT ?

At the beginning I took about an hour for the first ones, as it was the result of the momentary mood . later I started to dedicate more time like 2 to 3/4 hours at NFT . ( the ones that took me the longest time were paintings in melt style)

Ah so you are putting more time in . Have you done any collabs ?

In a way yes, I did a little collab on atomic hub with FreeCryptoGuru, a guy who after a month I discovered was not only from my own country but even from my own little city, that was so amazing

For putting more time I say, I like draw in the night in my own room with a bit of music and chilling 🥰so I don’t care how much time I put in.. just relaxing .

I know him he is really cool guy . Who is your dream collab ?

I have noticed several artists that I like, and certainly there are many others to discover at the moment I would say nippy nip that I like so much, and as a dream I would say Stocci that you made me discover him .

Nippynip is a mate and I do chat to stocci as well . I reached out to Nippy who will be in touch in the new year .

😯 Their works are amazing .

Do you collect NFTs yourself ?

Basically no ... only if there is something I like, I recently got the whole team of ninja turtles in Funko pop .

What would a NFT project have to be to get you to notice it ?

See the details and the care with which it was made... and If the artist has OCD then I like it🤣 .

What's been the best part of doing your project ?

To see that people like my drawings, I think it is the greatest satisfaction .

What's been the hardest part ?

The white sheet/table.. except if I sit down to draw with already a trip in my head..

I think that moment when you are in front of the white sheet with the pen in your hand create that moment of “discomfort“ .

What's the long term vision for your project ?

First of all I say be able to improve in my works. I plan to create different series of drawings in different styles with different themes .. and make cool collaborations with new artists

Is this a full time job ?

Not at all, I dedicate the end of the day to it ... more in the night, but in a sense, yes , every day .

Can I ask what is your full time job ?

Studying in an drama academy, every day.

Oh cool what does your family think of your NFT project ?

I started talking to them after a few months, not knowing the NFT world, you know, they were a bit scared at first because they didn't understand. Explaining and showing what I do, now they appreciate and support my work... they know that I really like drawing,

Have you got them collecting yet ?

Nope, they still don't have a clear idea about NFTs .. it's a world still a bit far from them. Then in Italy NFTS didn't explode like maybe in US .

Tell us something random about you ?

I’m an 21-year- old Italian guy (so sorry for my English 🥺) with a love for arts, going out with my skateboard and music in headphone.. sometimes I write songs that I do listen to my close friends and ... I love cooking 🧑‍🍳 (because I’ve to eat what I cooked) Passion for acting and theatre plays. Oh and I’ve 2 cats and 3 tortoise

Where can the readers keep up with your project ?

I think Twitter, I use it to communicate my new drops and ideas of new projects
