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

https://wax.atomichub.io/explorer/collection/myultrapills **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

https://twitter.com/shawty_stoned **Where can we buy your NFTs ?** I use Nefty blocks for drop my NFTs https://neftyblocks.com/c/stonedshawty **Any chance of competition for the readers ?** Oh yes bro with free crypto guru we have already done one and we have more planned. But Il happily give this away.

**Brilliant only one question left which is there anything you would like to add or say to the readers ?** To stay up to date by following me on social networks because I’ve a lot of cool works going on in my head . I love to keep in touch with my followers.
