ABOUT DEGEDOG

DEGEDOG is a supply of 2021 handmade 1/1 DEGEDOGS created over one of the most euphoric and historic crypto bullruns throughout the year 2021. DEGEDOG is one of the largest true 1/1 digital art collections on the blockchain and aims to have the digital assets backed by one of the largest 1/1 physical silkscreen print collections in the world. Each DEGEDOG physical pairing is not an edition and is the only one of it's kind in existence. Every piece is digitally painted/created with my finger, Mac trackpad, and Photoshop. Drawing with my finger made my approach raw, and I was guided by feelings that paralleled with colours and different brushes.

Each Print is derived from a real dog and is filed accordingly from which dog it was created. The supply is based on all 2 thousand different breeds that can be found on the official American Kennel Club website. The dog it was derived from is written on the pendant of the necklace. Some of the names may look worn or distorted but that is just from the Cosmic Rays found on other planets. The first Prints most resemble a dog, but with each month that passed the art took new form and meaning. Some dogs are colourful, some are memes, some are a play on words of the actual dog itself, some are a portrait within a portrait, some pixel art, the top 1000 crypto coins from 2021-2025, some darkness, but all are a form of self expression through personal experiences. You don't need to like them all, you only need to like one. The collection is this way so no matter what you're into you can find a place in the community. The more diverse the better.

As an artist you are also an explorer, and I wanted to find my own self expression through art. DEGEDOG isn’t based on traits, it’s based on time. It is the document of progression...built through multiple crypto cycles and often times the highs and lows correlated with my own, but also brought me breakthroughs in the work. I spent so much time building and creating the art because not only did I want to give people a very unique experience as a collector, but to also put faith in the DEGEDOG community that I would continue to deliver thoughtful ideas.

Tag along with me on my journey to explore the capabilities of a digital vs physical world. For anything physical I create has been born out of the digital realm. The physical prints are very much bound by certain restraints whereas the digital potential seems endless. For me there is something extremely interesting in this dynamic.

Since childhood, my father influenced my passion for Trading Cards. Later, through his collecting, I was influenced by Cultural Prints from the 60s-80s. They were always beautifully colourful and stood for a movement. I think these pieces stuck with me the most and fed my inspiration into shifting cultures.

I chose the name PFACE because every time I sat at my desk I felt one stroke away from PEACE. Making this project was the first time in a very long time that I felt at PEACE with myself. It’s a feeling that when you have you want to hold on to forever. I hope that if you hold one of these Prints they can bring you peace in knowing they were all created from my heart.
