The Success Syndicate

Good evening /success family!
Time for some AMA 😎 
For the next 3 hours, it will be my pleasure and honor answer all your questions on anything you like - my life, my creative process and my art, basically everything you come up with.

For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm your average italian boomer: graduated in communication design, I worked for 13 years in a print shop where we customized tshirt and appareal for sports team.
When the pandemic hit, the business shut down and I had a lot of spare time: luckily I started to get my head into crypto space and NFTs, and never stopped, even when found another job.
I'm having too much fun, can't stop, won't stop.

It's your turn now, drop those questions 💪

Why DiCaprio and not christian bale

Now that's a great question 🤣
So I always appreciated DiCaprio as actor, Christian Bale became famous when DiCaprio was already a huge deal - at least for me - so it was a no brainer.

Plus, that meme of his is way more recognisable and can be themed out in so many different ways

As I joined twitter, I understood that I'm not the guy who just likes to hang out replying and interacting, and trading was just not my cup of tea.
I had to do something better.
So as I started to understand the most famous phenomena in the NFT space, I just started "mocking" them with my first collection, and that picked up and gave me strenght to keep doing it.

My source of strenght is definitely seeing people enjoying my art, and given the fact that it makes me feel good doing it, it's a win-win.

OK... that is crazy I have similar pandemic story.  My question is what got you inspired to make your work? Can you expand on your earliest memories of wanting to make art, was it connected to the print shop? Also what keeps you going making art everyday, your source of strength? And BIG Congrats!

Hey CBN, thanks for the question!

Well, it was quite a big sized shop, and we had a lot of stuff to do.
The greatest challenge was definitely not losing calm and patience even in the harder days - and there were a lot, I can assure you.
Some people would have probably quit after some months, but I stayed, trying to be positive all days long.

Hi Toma 

What has been your greatest challenge in those 13 years of working ?

Digital Media Producer. I like particles and waves too. I like art.

We love the classics!
So my first experience with crypto is buying some (well a fraction clearly) of BTC a couple years before starting doing all of this, but kinda forgotten about those until I had the chance to look it up at the wallet again and see they had made something like x5.
So I started getting my interest high around this, joined twitter and so on.

I joined Warpcast when things on X were moving quite slowly, one day @benstrauss made a tweet about this and got me interested, I was tired of the mood of X and wanted to try something different.
Never have made a better choice.

This is epic dude I wanna start with the classic question what made you start with crypto and what brought you onto to Warpcast?

Hey thanks for the question fam!
I started mixing up art and memes with my first vector art collection, "Tales from the Crypt0", which saw the light in feb 2023.

Bro, when have you started creating these arts and memes..??

I think my first vector art collection takes the prize here.

Mocking different nft phenomena and people, gave me the chance to get some big accounts eyes on my pieces.

I was retweeted by @cozomomedici , and @xcopy.eth and @jack also collected a couple editions from that collection.

Which has been your most successful work as nft creator??

Well that's always a hard time..
You just need to find that sweet spot behind your work and your art, but I can tell you that once you find the right balance, everything will come out easily.. Just don't stress out things!

Can you please tell me how to manage the work and the creative side of you? Work that pays you and the creativity in you that you want to make profession out of

Live for another hour my friend, bring it on 💪🏻

Good evening Mary, thanks for stopping by!

I would definitely give that same advice given to me, which gave me strenght and conviction along all these years: stay consistent.

Even when things don't go as you plan, staying consistent will make you better at doing things and most importantly when a chance opens up, you'll be there ready to crush it.

If there was one piece of advice you could give to new artists, what would it be?

Thanks for your question!
I mostly do it for myself, I enjoy a lot doing vector art and it kinda helps to relax myself - even if my works are sometimes a labyrinth of lines 😅 
So it's somewhat a therapy for myself, but seeing people enjoying it make me want to do more!

What motivates you the most to continue in your art?

No worries, I'm still here!
Yes, I start by doing concepts with AI from which I get the elements I need, then I create my concept with photoshop (putting elements together as my initial ideas) and then the final step, the longest one.

Into Illustrator, I recreate everything with vector art, making the art homogeneous, and adding those little details as badges or texts..

I’m late but interested in your process. Are these all created digitally?

Don’t Eat with the people U won’t starve with 💀🖤

Biggest piece of advice that someone gave me when I started doing this: stay consistent.

You never know who will see your art, coincidences happens, so if you believe in what you're doing just keep doing it, sooner or later you'll get noticed.

I forgot to ask a question , For someone who wants to start Digital art 


Ur number one Advice ?

Good evening Faxaz! 

Well, I'm in love with every project I worked on, but if I have to choose one I would say "Tales from the Crypt0", my first collection as I joined "crypto twitter".

And that's because it made me understand that I could do this, my "visions" were received by the audience, so it just made me feel welcomed.

ge dude could you share your favorite project you've worked on and why it's meaningful to u

Not so long actually, I started in feb 2023 with the "Tales from the Crypt0", my first collection in editions on mainnet, mocking the most "famous" nft phenomena and celebrities.
Then I had some fun with pepes and started a collection on FND, mixing pepes with 80s-90s movies..

And then Warpcast came, I made some free editions degen-centric blinking an eye to warpcast culture as badges, while keeping up with "The Caprios" which are a monthly release for my Hypersub.

As for my art influence I know it might be easy to say but Beeple was the one who intrigued me the most since the beginning, the atmosphere in his pieces is just unbeatable, and you can feel it in some of the Tales from the Crypt0.

These below were my first pieces during my X times 👇 

And this is my first collection I've mentioned
