1. Michelle Thompson @mich-tom is a British illustrator and collage artist whose work blends traditional and digital techniques to create striking visual narratives. A graduate of The Norwich School of Art and The Royal College of Art, Michelle has built a dynamic career in publishing, editorial, and design. Her art is a fusion of found materials—books, magazines, postcards—reassembled with painted and drawn elements to evoke shared memory and cultural history. Clients such as Apple, Marvel, and Penguin Books have sought her distinctive approach, which reinterprets past imagery to reflect contemporary themes.
Initially crafting collages by hand, Michelle has seamlessly transitioned into the digital age, using PhotoShop and online collaboration tools to refine her practice. She continues to exhibit her physical works with The Liberty Gallery at major international art fairs, while also exploring the NFT space since joining Web3 in 2021. 1 reply

2. Ni Petrov (Nikita Petrov)@nipetrov, a Siberian-born artist based now in St. Petersburg, explores the human form through the lens of contemporary urban life. With a background in architecture from Altai State Technical University, he translates his fascination with crowds into watercolors, stop-motion animations, and Google Street View collages. Since 2007, his works have been exhibited internationally, capturing the collective movement of city dwellers rather than individual stories.
In his renowned *Man in the City* series, Petrov isolates bustling crowds from their surroundings, placing them against stark white backgrounds. This absence of context transforms the figures into sculptural forms, frozen in perpetual transit.
His latest works, inspired by unnoticed urban objects, such as the piece included in this airdrop, reflect his interest in the hidden elements that shape daily life—offering a poetic meditation on the transient and the permanent within the urban landscape. 1 reply
