Avius Animae
Illustrator
Let’s get this out of the way: Cryptocurrency is a deeply flawed universe. It’s rife with scams and empty promises. But, there is a side to it that is good. In 2021, while recuperating from a hip surgery, I learned a few things about computer generated art. Using some simple scripts, I was able to compile hundreds of hand drawn elements to create 10,000 unique illustrations. They were quirky characters with a sort of nostalgic child-like feeling. Shortly after, I organized a sale where proceeds would be given to an LGBTQ+ charity. In a matter of hours, we raised over $150,000. This donation was later matched and together we made a donation north of $300,000 to a small group of charitable organizations. Below is a sampling of the illustrations.
















Further Development
As this project continued to evolve, we offered several opportunities for those who donated to the cause. This included transforming their artwork into an anime style instantly or “corrupting” their characters and turning them into “evil” versions as we built a narrative for these 10,000 images. (Ultimately, people weren’t really interested in furthering the narrative. How sad!)
