"Nounish Box Surprise is a CC0 mint I created for the Artist Program. This unique 1/1 3D toy figurine combines elements from Ethereum with representations of childhood innocence and playfulness. It's a piece that embodies the essence of being a kid, and I hope it inspires others to reconnect with that lost feeling of pure, unfiltered joy.  "

@swagittarius 
"I would likely employ digital art as my medium of choice. My materials would be geared towards this digital platform, allowing flexibility, to experiment and refine my creations. Conceptually, I envision vibrant characters infused with a distinct purplish mood, reflecting my unique style and influences, but I am willing to adapt since I am flexible to any art styles. Additionally this process may take several days to complete since I put effort and strive for the precision and quality in every detail of my artwork."

High-Quality Guitar and Bass Stems for Creators : 0xEd407F5D65d80e1f4C8F09ccd744b3bD6bB46FfD
"I’d like to propose a project to create a small set of high-quality, royalty-free guitar and bass music stems. These stems will cover various genres and be free for musicians, producers, and content creators to use in their projects without worrying about licensing fees.

I’ve worked as professional musician for over 15 years as both a touring musician and session player. I’d like to collaborate with more Web3 musicians and eventually being my music from web2 to web 3 Mehdi"

@anesi 
"Acapella music collection:  I will make an acapella collection of 3 Nounish songs, different vocals layered on each other producing a rhythmic sensation, 1 song will be dedicated to celebrating NOUNS, the other one will be in appreciation to Artists program and the last one will and the 3rd one will be "

"TOTALITY's artwork synthesizes methodical art using trigonometry cypher written in R programming language typically used in statistical computing

Inspired by
- Limit Cycles Oscillations in Dynamical Systems
- Solar Eclipse

The example is inspired by the Limit Cycles, which can be visualized as an Eclipse with a tinge of Chaos, which can be imagined as Solar Prominences of the Sun emerging dense clouds of incandescent ionized gas to protect from the Sun's chromosphere into the corona."

"For the Artist Program, I propose to create a CC0 artwork that seamlessly fuses elements, symbols, and visuals inspired by Japanese and Feng Shui cultures. My goal is to craft a narrative that transcends the medium, radiating positive energy and inspiration.

The artwork will feature an anime style with fire as its core element, reflecting the shift from the earth to fire in Feng Shui’s elemental cycle. Additionally, I will incorporate mystical creatures like dragons, aligning with the zodiac sign of 2024, the Year of the Dragon, symbolizing power, luck, and transformation."

"Whats up I'm Brice Blanco. I'm an artist from Houston, Texas. I'm new to the cc0 space but I've been a close friend and collaborator with a producer by the name of Dav (producedbydav) who has really shown me the great opportunities this space holds. Anyway, the song link attached is called, Natural Disaster.  Detailing a bit about the human condition and my upbringing back home in Texas.  This is a demo, but soon to be finished and is produced by Dav. Thanks"

@thisisgonz
"gønz is a generative glitch artist who uses both analog and digital techniques to create visually alive and often mind-warping artworks.

His mixed media pieces are often characterized by their chaotic and unpredictable nature.

Artworks with his signature style can be recognized from the heavy use of digital distortion and delicate violence of the high-impact color palettes."

@kordan4evr
"Bio: kordan4evr is a young, self-taught artist who draws inspiration from modern anime and pop culture. He blends digital and traditional techniques to create his distinctive artwork."

@0ffline
"I would like to submit my piece Shadow of Genesis in the Artist Program Round #4.

Everyone has a dark side Even if we are human, we are part of the molecules in space. Still coming from the same energy source.

I made this piece in Cinema 4D and Redshift Render Engine

If I win I will make the next scene in the series with a different planet and mint it CC0 and to the benefit of the artists program."

@acutek
"I'm Acutek, a Producer & DJ from Scotland, focussing on electronic music. Techno is my jam but also experimenting with house and broken beat style music. I've been a DJ since age 15 and making music since 18. It's always been a passion of mine from an early age. I worked on my craft for a number of years and started releasing officially in 2017. 

This opportunity will help me create music and release into the world for everyone to interpret and enjoy. The music and cover art will be created solely by myself. I have a passion for Photography also and will be using a photo of my own for the cover art. If this proposal passes it would be amazing to see what people create either musically or with the photograph.

Mint will be token gated via Bonfire site to the Ableton project of the song which you can remix and use in your own way. "

"THE NOUNS JUNGLE (CHILDREN STORY BOOK)

"Beyond The Nouns: An Underwater Adventure with Imaginary Fish" is a story about the magical adventure of a child who discovers an underwater world filled with imaginary fish and fantastic sea creatures. In their journey, they explore incredibly wondrous places.

This book will be created with illustrations and will be uploaded in PDF format, which can be printed at home and used with children. My illustrations will be colorful and a bit quirky, with some mysterious elements, and maybe i will put my song also with my ukulele. Check out some examples of my work below."

@Cheemken
"Hello, I'm Cheemken! I'm a pixel artist and I love to create pixel art especially Nouns ethos 

For my proposal I'll be creating a Nature-themed pixel art animation like sunsets, auroras, cherry blossoms, etc.  

Nature-themed pixel art holds a unique charm and appeal. It's  captivating because it simplifies the beauty of natural scenes into small, colorful pixels"

@holakidd
"Hello friends! My name is Kidd and I would like to apply for the "Artist Program". I am a 30-year-old Argentine illustrator and in my art, I like to blur the thin line between a sketch and a final piece. In my work, you will find stains, scans, precise strokes, and some not so precise, but that's what it's all about. I hope you like and enjoy it as much as I do. I hope to apply to create a piece that represents both me and the community, which I would love to be a part of. <3"

"Description of Intended Artwork or Art Style:

Having recently embraced motherhood, I am inspired to embark on a new series that captures the profound journey of this life-altering experience. This series will be characterised by large-scale abstract ink paintings designed to be immersive and deeply felt. The choice of large canvases allows for an enveloping presence that mirrors the all-encompassing nature of motherhood. Through the fluidity and intensity of ink, I aim to convey the spectrum of emotions and transformative energies associated with this new chapter in my life. The artworks will serve as a powerful testament to the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of motherhood, inviting viewers to connect with the universal themes of creation, nurturing, and love."
