The Collection

Fifty hand-drawn portraits of Rappers, each on original and uniquely designed backdrops

Backstory

My first attempts at portrait drawing were of 2pac and Kendrick Lamar (2020). I posted the creation video and it blew up on TikTok, which made me want to keep drawing, posting, and improving. I also typically draw while listening to music, so I stuck with the theme of rappers. About a year or so later I had finished 54 portraits with 16 more unfinished. Each took about 8 hours (on average) to finish, with the entire collection containing about 400 hours of drawing (over 500,000 individual brush strokes).

I’ve drawn thousands of hours since and my style has evolved, but I wanted to offer these to anyone interested in owning my early pieces and supporting my continued journey as an artist.

NFT Ownership

Each NFT represents the digital artwork (true size of each portrait is 7200x7200, 18x18 in print), and has traits "Total Hours" and "Brush Strokes" (representing total hours of drawing and total individual brush strokes were needed to complete the piece).

Perks

Acquiring comes with the only existing original print, framed, signed and numbered as 1 of 1 by me (the artist).

Also included, all digital assets associated with the drawing (png, creation videos, etc.)

Access to my private discord and reddit communities where I drop digital art downloads, works in progress, and other free original art.

Hours & Brush Strokes

The first NFT holder that accumulates 100 hours and 500,000 total brush strokes will be gifted an original 100-hour portrait drawing of any subject at their choosing.
