gm everybody,
Y'all are in for a TREAT this week. I had the pleasure of having a conversation with the wildly talented Zaid. His work is vibrant, colorful, and psychedelic, and it truly stands alone. Zaid has been creating art long before web3 came about, and it was exciting to unpack the motives, attitudes, and beliefs that drive him to create the work he does.
Some of the main points we discuss:
Collecting physical vs. digital art
Entry & transition into the web3 space
The difference between scene & style pieces
Some Friends Alpha
Super Rare, both the good and bad
Being inspired by others' work vs. tearing it down
