Dragons by William Mapan with special guest William Mapan
A special episode with generative artist William Mapan. We hear about his journey into web3 and NFTs, how Pokemon inspired the collection, and how he approaches his art. We then breakdown this fxhash masterpiece. Another special one for us as William is P's favorite artist and it was our first Tezos based collection deep dive!
