Guruguruhyena invites you on a journey through a digital wonderland, where anything is possible and nothing seems to be making sense. Lose yourself in the psychedelic chaos of the Internet and find yourself on the Tezos blockchain, as you explore the magical world that has been created by the artist’s crazy imagination.

With references to crypto cats, Japanese Kanji, and DNA strands interwoven with computers, doors and pizza slices, Guruguruhyena’s art is a feast for the senses. Rainbows of many colors and shapes create a sense of playful chaos, while Wordart and internet references add layers of depth and fun.

Using the old paint software, Guruguruhyena starts his creative process by transferring the image of his mind onto a blank canvas. Guruguru also likes AI’s ControlNET and Image Mixer.

From there and building upon the work by carefully adding, subtracting, and collaging the elements, Guruguruhyena creates a frenzied balance of ducks, glitches, shapes and colours. Inspired by underground culture, a particular love for the anime and video game culture has always been the backbone of Guruguruhyena artistic roots.

Guruguru’s favorite artists are Gustav Klimt, Tuukz and Mimocat, while his influences come from Japan’s delicate colors and underground culture.

Japan holds a special place in Guruguru’s heart. The delicacy found in Japanese food and colours is mirrored in Guru’s artistic style. As a Tokyo native and attuned to the nuances of underground Internet, the electricity of Tokyo is mirrored in Guru glitchy art.

navigating through the hazardous world of NFTs

In the crazy NFT sphere, Guruguruhyena is aware that it is important to choose the right blockchain and the right currency. At the moment, Guruguru is a fan of Tezos due to the wealth of great art available. While ETH can be expensive for gas, more sales of ETH artwork would certainly be welcome.

For artists looking to sell NFTs, it’s important to stay on top of promotion and engagement. Daily GM or good morning messages can be helpful in building a following. It is important to be wary of scams and false promises, as the web3 space can be a breeding ground for both fun and horror. Always keep a positive outlook and focus on the good things that NFTs and the community can offer!
