Like FarCats and Castaways, his collections have drawn attention within the FC community and Web3 space. Notably, ‘Castaways’ revisited the FC arc while exploring genre, composition, and decentralized distribution.

“Before ‘Castaways,’ there had been very little exploration of that image as the memetic essence of Farcaster. I aimed to create a collection that solidified its role as such,” he explains.

In his new collection, ‘After Arcs,’ @0xen continues to examine the inherent potential of the arc shape, aiming to push its boundaries even further. Additionally, he introduces a futuristic angle termed ‘dusk punk,’ capturing the fusion of futurism and organic elements.

Regarding what’s next, @0xen keeps it low-key, encouraging an organic creation process. He solely mentions his current enjoyment of AI experimentation. Anticipation grows for his next creation.
