Punk & Frens – Golden Skater

Title: “Golden Skater”: A Punk & Frens NFT

Introduction

As a digital artist, I’m excited to share the story behind “Golden Skater,” my first minted piece in the Punk & Frens series. Released on November 22nd, 2022, this free manifold edition of 69 pieces sold out in less than 60 minutes.

The Creative Process

Creating “Golden Skater” began with a desire to learn animation in Procreate. The skater component proved challenging, but I persevered, positioning each element frame by frame to achieve the desired effect. Initially, I used a moving background, but its jerkiness led me to adopt a regenerated AI background instead.

Influences and Coincidences

The timing of “Golden Skater” coincided with the Azuki Golden Skateboard fetching exorbitant prices and Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. These events contributed to the overall buzz surrounding the piece and its rapid sell-out.

Conclusion

“Golden Skater” marks a significant milestone in my artistic journey as it showcases my ability to create captivating animations using Procreate. The rapid sell-out and influences from current events make it a memorable piece. Delve into the details of “Golden Skater” and enjoy the creative blend of technology and artistry.
