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.

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

3. Popeye Pazuru @popeye-pazuru, a French digital collage artist, seamlessly blends pop and internet culture with blockchain technology to redefine artistic expression. Originally rooted in photography and visual arts, he found new creative dimensions through NFTs, leading to his renowned project, *The Popeye Puzzle*. This evolving work consists of unique 1/1 pieces, each intricately connected like a puzzle—an ever-expanding universe that grows alongside the artist, fostering interaction between the individual elements of his compositions.
Fascinated by the fusion of digital and physical realities, Popeye explores depth, perspective, and texture to craft striking visual illusions. Beyond aesthetics, his passion for internet culture, crypto, and memes shapes his artistic narrative. His work has been exhibited in galleries, virtual showcases, and auctions, solidifying his role in the emerging cryptoart movement while pushing the limits of digital expression. 1 reply

4. Lorenipsum @lorenipsum is a multimedia artist navigating the intersection of identity and anonymity, crafting hyper-weird realities across Ethereum, Tezos, and Solana. Embracing the philosophy of *lorem ipsum*—a placeholder without meaning, yet open to all meanings—Lorenipsum challenges the notion of fixed identities. Their work dissolves, shifts, and reconfigures, mirroring the fluidity of human existence. Faces disappear, yet emotions remain universal, forming an unspoken dialogue between time, memory, and self-perception.
Rooted in conceptualism, Lorenipsum's art echoes Duchamp’s defiance—rejecting aesthetic monopolies in favor of raw, thought-provoking simplicity. Their faceless figures celebrate both invisibility and the unseen essence of being. Since joining Web3 in 2021, Lorenipsum has left a lasting mark on the blockchain with collections like *Right Now* and *Sweet Nightmares* on Tezos, or *Time Capsule of the Eternal One* on ETH. 3 replies

5. James Kerr, aka @scorpiondagger, is a Canadian artist who has redefined digital animation since 2012 by remixing art history into irreverent, witty GIFs. Merging Renaissance figures with modern absurdities, his work humorously dissects pop culture and contemporary life. His signature animated collages have earned him collaborations with Gucci, Adult Swim, and *The New York Times*, as well as the publication of *The Book of Darryl* (2021), the illustrated, digitally-augmented story of a 16 y.o. who discovers heavy metal and the son of God in one heady summer in Roman-occupied Nazareth.
Kerr describes his work as a *mashup*—an imaginative re contextualization of forgotten artworks. Inspired by the eccentric figures of the Northern Renaissance, he breathes new life into historic characters, envisioning their lives beyond the canvas. This playful deconstruction of classical art invites viewers to see history through a humorous, contemporary lens. 3 replies
