Biography

Showdeer is a painter and digital fine artist creating surrealist and psychedelic dreamlike artworks for the past
fifteen years for many clients including; Wilco (band), Red Bull, Pabst, Universal, Lucasfilms, Star Wars and
many more. Known as an early adopter of merging digital fine art with blockchain technology with his first mint
on February 15th, 2021. Showdeer’s art project actively and consistently minted artworks for over two and a
half years, amassing over 1,800 individual unique collectors in total, plus over 450 eth volume traded total
($2 Million) in the Genesis and Editions Collections alone. The semi-chronological Genesis 1k Collection has
now completed and is available to collect on the secondary market.

His artistic mission is to create images that bring about a feeling of familiar nostalgia and evoke a sense of
experiencing a place you’ve never been to, or someone else’s dreams of someone you may have never met.
Some people use the words anemoia or saudade to describe this feeling. Others have described his art as
“controlled chaos” or “an explosion of surrealistic cotton candy colors” or “a magic garden after bloom”.

As an Offical TIME Magazine TIMEPieces Artist along side other well known aritsts like Toppy Eton, Nyla
Hayes, and Beeple, he has contriubted his artwork to multiple charitiable projects and organizations through
TIME initiatives as well as on his own.

Showdeer has exhibited at many events, festivals and galleries all over the world including showcasing at
Art Basel in Miami, MET AMS in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Beeple Studios in Charleston, South Carolina, plus
multiple galleries all over New York including NFT NYC multiple years in a row.
