If you read the Elon art story, scroll down till you see CZ

Every piece of art has a story behind it.

Here’s mine for the sake of posterity and possible interest down the line.

Firstly, all the original paintings are done by my wife Sarah.
I have always loved her art and encouraged her any way I could.
In my office (man-cave), I have had one of her artworks on my wall since it was made in 2019.
When she started doing faces in 2021, I was blown away.
She painted a beautiful stylized portrait of our daughter from a photo when she was 4.
I am pretty sure she was inspired by all the Ink-Master seasons that we had watched recently.
Here is that photo & painting for interest sake.

I have been working in the crypto and blockchain space for a little over 4 years now. My passion is to leverage innovative and disruptive technologies with human relations to create Win-Wins. (in a nut-shell)

Anyway, I had the idea to contract my wife to paint a few influential personalities. This idea had multiple verticals of benefit so it was a no-brainer.
First up was Elon Musk who I have always been a huge fan of, even when he pissed the world off with some fuddy tweets I wasn’t phased. lol

I was referred to a professional 3D artist team, Dragan & Miroslav of 3D studio. They were able to create a series of 3D lenticular images for me which I am very happy with.
These GIFs could work really nicely on a flat screen in a building/home.
I am selling a singular NFT which includes delivery of the physical painting too.

Next up was CZ of Binance.

Changpeng Zhao AKA “CZ” is the founder and CEO of the world’s most popular crypto exchange Binance.

I have made 51 copies of each version at around $500 each and can be seen in my shop.

My goal is to build up a brand alongside my wife so that she may leave her day job and find happiness in that liberation and independence.
