The Hard Questions by Vajunnie with e9mund
1. What's the story behind your collection?
There was a bunch of drawings I saw in an activity room at a local art gallery, looked like they were done by kids. It was a template outline of a hand, each one was coloured in different and had things stuck on them. I thought, 'Yeah, these are basically NFTs, I should try something like this.' So I picked up some stuff from the scrapstore, made 3 templates (John, Poliwhirl and a pint), and gave it a go. Around the same time, sat in traffic one day, I was looking at a Road Ahead Closed sign and thought, 'Ahead... A-head... like a head on a pint.' Then I knew. I kept some of the handmade traits in the collection, but it's mainly John stuff and photos from my phone – made more sense this way. Having done a couple hefty generative collections, I wanted these to be more intentional, so I manually exported about 900 (don't bother) and narrowed it down to 40. In short, Pints are an extension of John.
2. Who is your biggest artistic influence right now?
Any conspiracy head with a pen or paint can. Whoever designed the road signs. Artist-wise, probably Magritte.

MiFella 2
4. Describe your art in 3 words.
Bold, simple, heavy.
5. What was the first NFT you ever minted?
First NFT was Bitlady Maker on ETH. First mint was teh sloppas on SOL.
6. What artist in web3 deserves more visibility?
@sppinet followers are too low. I love their paintings or whatever those are.
7. What's your current obsession outside of art?
Health and sanity. Grass bushes and owls, both for their circularness.
