I'm a self-taught Fine Art Portrait Photographer from the Azores islands, Portugal, with over 15 years of experience. I am deeply passionate about empowering women through my art, in web3 and beyond. I would describe my photography style as a colourful mixture between fantasy and fashion. I am inspired by nature, mythology, magic and feminine strength.
I joined the NFT space as an artist in March 2021, minted my first NFT based on the Sumerian Goddess Inanna on the 18th of that month and never looked back.
It was also in March 2021 that I founded a group dedicated to supporting women artists called 'NFT Goddesses'. In our community we provide a safe space for women to talk, be themselves and share their artwork. It is a real sisterhood. We also focus on creating projects/collections for the social good, such as donations towards humanitarian aid in Ukraine ('Peace - Myr' collection) and towards a breast cancer charity ('Free the Nipple' collection).

I am a Colombian architect, 3D artist, and photographer. I started to explore 3D visuals while studying architecture and I was fascinated with the potential it has, so when I completed my degree I decided to focus on this area. I came to the UK 6 years ago and I am currently working as a 3D artist in an architectural visualisation studio in London. I recently started to create my own artwork and it has been an amazing experience. My pieces are a mixture of all my passions and they are what I create in my free time when I escape, learn, and experiment.

Hi there, I'm Blue Jay Way and I'm so happy to meet you! I connect with the beauty of nature and wildlife through photography. My photos often raise awareness of conservation efforts and the impact of our personal choices.
I am best known for my collection of bears of Katmai National Park in Alaska. I was enchanted by their social interactions as they fattened up during a salmon run! It was a stark contrast to the salmon trawlers I also saw in the sound. Both needed the salmon to survive. Both were so connected.
I am a founding member of the Wildlife Collective, and am very active in supporting conservation and other charities with my work. In April I'm donating to @WCKitchen to feed refugees for every sale not already allocated to another charity. Please check out my collections.

My name's Brady, and I'm a creator. Working with people and places through the medium of photography and digital creation, and mixed media is a part of me. My inspiration comes from the world around us - a shadow cast in an alley, the cry of a protest, the sun breaching the horizon - the moments making up our hours are the very same I capture and express. Most days I can be found shooting on 35mm, piecing together words from label cut-outs, and exploring our natural world on foot. I love to create and am inspired by many.

I am a Brazilian-Canadian artist based in Northern Ontario. I have a bachelors degree in Fine Arts (2004) and a post graduation course in Art History, with that I had the opportunity to learn all wonders about my beloved craft. About a year ago (June 2022) I started creating art as NFTs, during this period I learned how to use Procreate and AI and I mix both techniques, along with my own style acquired over the years. My inspiration comes from within (feelings and emotions) as well as day to day simple events. In my art there are bits and pieces that I use to express my struggles with mental health and it’s important to me to let people know that through art I re signify the pain, and that they can do the same, finding something they’re truly passionate about.

Born and raised in California, Cryptoblonde (Blondee) developed a love for the timeless beauty of traditional, film-based black-and-white photography in her high school photography class. Black and white photography removes any distraction of color and helps the viewer focus on other aspects of the photo, such as the subject, the textures, shapes and patterns, and the composition. After high school, she went on to make a living in Finance and sadly lost touch with that passion. Through her newfound love of the NFT community she reignited her desire to pursue her passion as a visual storyteller and photographer. She uses photography as a way to express emotion while highlighting underappreciated textures and compositions. As a mother to an aspiring artist (LilyWren.Eth) Blondee hopes to inspire others who may have lost their way to have confidence to start over again.

I'm a Web3 author, poet, and do some work with visual media (mainly for book covers, poetry backgrounds, and fun tributes to my fellow $LITizens!) Photography is another interest area - so much art to make, so little time!
I spent most of my life as a US Marine officer, but now that I've retired, I'm a full-time creative - writing, taking pictures, and working with digital media and AI. Originally from the US, I now live mainly in Australia, but spend about 4-6 months per year traveling around the world - the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia.
My big focus is collaboration and helping others - I write a weekly'ish newsletter for people interested in books and the blockchain, have founded a Web3 poetry journal that shares profits equally with all contributors, and have done collaborations with two cover artists in 2022 (and hoping to do more in 2023) - all my cover collabs have been a 50/50 profit share - I believe in equity in the arts! I also focus on normalizing the ideas of giving back to collectors and the community - so many of my NFTs have charity donations and collector rewards built in.
I also believe that $LIT is one of the best places for artists, and am hoping to make it even better by building out a DAO that will better enable the community to support artists.

I feel like I’ve had a camera in my hand my whole life, from my mother’s hand-me-down Minolta 110 when I was 5 or 6 to an Advantix camera as a graduation gift. I purchased my first 35mm from Samy’s Camera when I lived in L.A. and my first DSLR in 2009 in Hawaii.
The last ten years have allowed me to share my work in galleries across the islands, being recognized by international publications, and now my journey into NFTs.

Most of my recent work is digital collage, both monotone and color... a virtual extension of my early work as a painter and photographer. I enjoy the chance and random associations of found visual elements. I am interested in vernacular art and drawn to artists who create because they have to... out of a compulsory or spiritual need. They have no choice... their very existence and faith depend upon this need to create. Their work is honest and unique. For me, art is simply another language. The language of the soul, of the heart and mind... a language of faith. If there is a meaning to my art it would be one born out of this faith, this desire to communicate.

I am no artist just an information lover. I share information freely to foster intellectual growth for as many people as I can for as long as I can remember. My involvements in BTC, ETH and LIT are all just extensions of this mission statement. I do it for myself as much as for others sake. I purposefully leave it quietly unmonetized so that those who cross my path may find it useful in the hopes that they may be more inclined to curiously ask questions that, otherwise, seemed unapproachable. P.S. I also plan to release essays explaining my comics and make them relatable and informational with a bit of humor to keep people engaged. Though I often drew comics when in class, my inspiration for these comical drawings stems from the use of similar comics in the writings of Bitcoin developer and teacher Jimmy Song who has been helping Bitcoiners build their own bitcoin libraries for many years.

"Maria Fynsk Norup is a self taught visual artist and photographer, based on the Danish island of Ærø. She’s formally educated in the field of botany from the Natural History Museum of Denmark and The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, London. Her love for the natural world inevitably appears in the visual storytelling of her works.
Maria primarily uses self-portraits as the medium for storytelling in her work, currently creating imagery that revolves around exploring femininity, and the human-nature interconnection. Her inspiration often draws directly from dreams and emotions, including her own background as a survivor of sexual assault and depression, her work can therefore vibrate with a dark undertone.
Influenced by the use of light, form and shadow, immortalised by painters like Caravaggio, Titian and the Danish Vilhelm Hammershøi, she works to tell her stories from a female point of view. Using herself (and occasionally her daughters) as a model, she creates stories grounded in our environment – stories about vulnerability, raw emotions, our connection to nature, and our place in the world.
Fynsk Norup has been widely exhibited, lately in Tribeca, NY (US), Le Carrousel du Louvre in Paris (FR). Furthermore with NEAL Digital Gallery, Beijing (China), Art Basel Miami (US) with The Royal House of Medici, at Mecanate Art Gallery, Rome (IT), Waterline Square Part, NY (US), Adelia Gallery, Liverpool (UK), Luciana Fondazione Matalon, Milano (IT), Økant Performance Festival, Marstal (DK), Galleri Øckenlund, Copenhagen (DK), Ærø Museum, Ærøskøbing (DK), Rundetårn, Copenhagen (DK).
She has received several international awards and honourable mentions for her work, e.g. in 2021 from British Journal of Photography.

Hello NFT world,
my name is Monika, and I am an abstract artist. All my works are based on physical works and my emotions, and I have created all my life: paintings, needleworks, woodworks, etc.
I grew up on a farm, and in the first 10 years of my professional life, I had the good fortune to travel the world - meet amazing people, live in their countries, listen to their languages, embracing their cultures.
Since I travelled so much, I stored away everything that I created, not thinking anyone cared.
A few decades later, the blockchain came along, and I took the plunge. Since July 2021, I have met amazing people, I have found support and kind words for my works like never before in my life, and I am grateful for everything that has happened to me since.

m/branson’s art is part geometric abstraction, part minimal expressionism. inspired by interactions with the world around us, think of her pieces as futuristic nostalgia…capturing those moments between yesterday and forever.
before working in the visual space she spent over 7 years as a firefighter/paramedic. this work took her to antarctica which became a pivotal experience, ultimately shaping her outlook on what matters. it was there she realized she wanted to make a life, not a living.
m/branson is currently learning processing, javascript and p5js while releasing periodic, hand drawn 1/1s and limited editions to her self-titled contracts on ethereum and tezos. her first series, monochrome minimals, sold out in the summer of 2021 and is a defining blend of her abstract illustration and digital animation. photography was her first creative love and is the chosen medium for her mid-pacific series. soon she will add generative art to her minted works. when it comes to art, nothing is out of bounds for m/b.

I came to LIT just after the first project drop, was hacked for about $16k in LIT, (shortly after that hack, LIT mooned and it would have been $50k) in LIT, and had a grand old time with some community members solving puzzles created by Rata and being part of the first and second Medici rides.
My current work combines AI and digital art into a digital collage. A kind of crossroads between process, technology and art. As both a Software Engineer and Fine Artist, AI and blockchain provide modes of working generatively and transactionally that fits my life style. Furthermore, these explorations inform my physical work in painting, sculpture and decorative (street art) which will take a more extensive time commitment, and so a queue of ideas has pile up for consideration to be made into physical form. The work melds historic art, including decorative, sculptural, and contemporary painting with trans-human science fiction concepts. The question: "What happens when only AI bots exist to make with the sole purpose of making art work in the world, but with no human value system. The work is purposefully "re"generative both for metaphor and process. This recycling process bringing visual ideas of my past, my children, and visual ideas of others (via AI) into a continued generative output acts as event stream of ideas, with only the best concepts filtering and curated for sharing and gift-giving. Once work has been output, the transactional lifecycle will eventually be determined. This portion of my work is just as important as the work itself. How others come to possess, experience, or receive my work is absolutely critical as I want to break the glaciers of traditional art markets, and more importantly, consumerist patterns or economics. There is a spiritual element to the transactional approach that will emerge as a pattern of gift-giving. Just as we exist in a created world, filled with the creations of others, or in a world created by a creator sovereign (as some may believe), we share too and benefit in these life-cycles of meaning.

I am exploring myself as an artist, truly grateful for the opportunities. Never has there been a time in my life where I could learn so much for free. To find my voice, use it, and it can actually be heard and matter.
The piece I chose to share is titled "Between the devil and the deep blue sea". This piece represents truly difficult choices or a trapped and tortured mind dreaming of possibilities but only seeing them through a lens or stuck in thought. The ocean waves are like powerful thoughts and images inside this abstract mind. Not getting to express yourself but capturing the beauty of the dreams within.
This community of this space and all that it means came as quite a surprise to me. That I am truly grateful for. I wouldnt be here without a great group of people that supported me here. Yet another never have I ever statement. I have never been in such great company. Surrounded by the most brilliant, generous, caring, talented people who are building and supporting one another at the same time.

I'm a mix media artist based in India, creating work surrounding beauty, spirituality and life.
My creative process is usually intuitive. I pick up the brush with a thought or a certain emotion in mind and let the energy flow onto the canvas. My works are layers and layers of acrylics, texture and my curiosity to understand life better.

Hey, my name is Nynxz. I'm from Australia. I've been using a computer for as long as I can remember, I've never been good at 'drawing or painting' so I loved using 3D software to be creative.
My first introduction to 3D was with Hammer, making maps for Counter-Strike: Source as a kid. I've loved developing my personal projects and tinkering with code. Since joining LIT I've seen an avenue to express my creativity and share it with others.

Hey reader! I'm not the best person to give a bio about myself, honestly, but I'll try!
Right, so I'm mainly a 3D artist who tries to make art which feels cinematic and makes the viewer feel awe. I'm always experimenting with my skills and trying to mix everything that I know into making something which feels breathtaking yet personal.
I've been in the NFT space since late '20 and since then I've worked with several well-known artists like CryptoPom, and I look forward to thriving in the NFT scene for years to come!

For years I've sat on the sidelines and watched as deep neural networks slowly challenged the concept of creativity and redefined those tasks that we previously believed to be a purely human endeavor. Using Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs, I've been working with trained neural networks to create art. Having no artistic ability myself, this would have been impossible without the aid of the machine. My work will be featured in an upcoming collaboration with AI artist Pindar Van Arman.

I'm a NFT artist since September 2022. I am a sociology graduate. In 2019 I became interested in digital art and then started self-taught. In 2020 I decided to quit my master's degree in Islamic philosophy, because I feel more comfortable, fun and happy when making digital art. I have been practicing Sufism since I was 15 years old, making me a fan of Rumi. So that many of my works are inspired by Rumi's quotes. I am also a fan of fantasy stories, especially Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. So, I like to pour divinity and philosophy into fantasy and surrealism. Recently I work with AI, sometimes collaborative.

I'm an archaeologist and a ceramic sculptor who discovered the joys of 3D digital art. My sculptural work is represented by Cavin-Morris Gallery in NYC, and I've been creating/minting NFTs since March 2021.
I experiment with two different styles of art in my 3D pieces. My figurative pieces are derivatives of my ceramic sculptures, which are based on the theme Goddess Kybele. With these pieces, I present counter-narratives to mythological stories to emphasize women's empowerment. My upcoming 3D abstract sculptures collection aims to inspire and assist the viewers in achieving a mindful state of mind. The practice of mindfulness brings you calm, inner peace, reduces stress and improves your creativity. The "Mindful Abstractions" collection consists of a series of looping videos of 3D animated sculptures designed to help you visualize a simple breathing technique to achieve that.

I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. It doesn't matter what medium I am creating in, as long as something is said. my goal is to share afrofuturist work with the world, I want my art to be seen as documented history and not just pieces of work created.
