Meet the artist behind CyberVandals.io

I came across this artist a while ago and he is just got bigger and bigger I will say his work is very graffiti lead but its very impressive so I had to get him on .

**Hey** Hey.. **How you?** I'm doing good, today was the launch of CV2.0 and were doing well. Last chance time I looked we were 420 sold out of 2k. **How did you get discover NFTs?** I have a few people that I have been following for a while = that have made the change and figured I would come play too. **Why did you choose WAX for your project?** The carbon Neutral things is big for me, especially long term... and the devilish gas fees don't exist hahah **What is the idea behind your project?** Evolution. We are all evolving. As an artist these creatures are reflections of me and the artist I have been influenced by and our growth. **When did launch?** The day after my Moms birthday, pre release was on her bday March 3rd. Shes always had my back in the art game and it was a cool way to pay homage to her.

**How many NFTs have you dropped so far?** Pshhhh, like over 20k in Cyber Vandals and a bunch more in the TonyTripLVMU Collection. **What was the first one you dropped?** On Opensea it was a collection called Venom Kitty Kult a while before. But on WAX, The Golden Planks. Its was collective I did with MrTwofu on Black Friday of 2021. **How did the community react?** Hahaha Nobody cared. I had them for 1 WAX and 25 pieces. It just sat there and I remember feeling good when number 10 sold. MrTwoFu helped me sell those with a shout out on his Insta. **What is the process of making your NFTs?** It started out as fanart, pop cult and 90s toons but then when I went to get white listed Nefty said OK but Atomic Hub rejected it because its too similar. That's what inspired me to create my own universe and characters. **What programs you use for creation?** Procreate, After Effects, Premiere, Blender, Nefty Blocks **How long this each NFT take to create?** From scratch, I can make basic everyday items in a couple hrs. When it comes to modeling Those can take a few days to sculpt, texture, rig, animate and render. **What is your favorite NFT you have made? Why?** "Close To Primal" #1 Almost like a generative art piece that's hitting my soul right now. Its has great energy between the homies Cleric and Muenster and the song hits hard. I was prepared to spend major money in the auction. **Have you done any collabs?** Yeah the collection started off with 4 artist all creating different tags and graffiti for the characters, I'm working with a couple now on new pieces. **Who would be your dream collab?** Anyone with a creative mind that can match good energy. **Are you a collector of NFTs ?** I am a collector of art in many forms. **Who is your favorite NFT artist?** Id say the people behind the art of forge.gene are at that top tier. They give me a lot of inspiration and are def setting the bar. **What has been the best part of doing your project?** The community, 100%. Making my own universe is rad but the crew that collects them and trades them are the absolute best people on the planet. I hope they know that.

**What has been the hardest part?** Balancing life, I enjoy it so much that sometimes I don't want to leave. I could spend hours making rad accessories and not even realize it. I have to unplug and take care of the fam too. **What's the long term plan for the project?** Make my own metaverse. **What does your family think of your project?** My kids love it, They named a lot of the Cyber Vandals. My son was one of the few to get the Young Xieo from series 1 and my Wife has been so supportive of the long hours. **Have you introduced anyone to WAX?** Yeah, I have been able to get a few people into it. A lot were here already and I kind of joined them hahah **Do you land on uplift? If so where is it?** Nope, I do want some land though. **What you like to do to unwind?** Play Drums and Video Games. I use drums as a way to exercise during render times and I usually spend a week two per year in some action adventure video game like Skyrim. **Tell us something random about you?** I never went to school for any of this and dropped out my junior year. Now I own 3500sft art studio called Unspoken Art Studio where we train new artists how to tattoo and make money off their art. **Where is the best place to keep up with the project?** Telegram, https://t.me/cybervandals **Where can we keep up with the project?** https://www.cybervandals.io/ **Where can we buy your NFTs?** https://neftyblocks.com/c/cybervandals **When is the next drop?**
