NFT Experiments: 8x8x8 Animated Worlds and Generative Art
Role: Creator / Artist
These NFT experiments merge generative modeling, digital art, and the blockchain. Each piece is part of a larger collection of unique, animated worlds with complex characters. These NFTs are released sequentially—new assets are created only after the previous one is sold, adding a layer of exclusivity and anticipation to the project.
World 001: Construction Site
“World 001: Construction Site” is a generative experiment using Blender’s new Geometry Nodes, Blender’s Python API, Sverchok, and Animation Nodes. The project explores procedural modeling techniques to generate surreal environments inhabited by unlucky characters.
In the Block Mine #001
This piece draws inspiration from the unpredictability of mining in a digital landscape. Each asset is procedurally generated and serves as part of a larger narrative within the 8x8x8 universe.

The Baron: Inspired by Dune
As a fan of the Dune universe, I created a collection of NFTs that pay homage to characters from this iconic sci-fi saga, particularly inspired by Jodorowsky’s unmade adaptation of Dune, and the artwork of Moebius and H.R. Giger.
001: The Baron
“Vladimir Harkonnen, Siridar of Giedi Prime and house Harkonnen,” is one of my favorite characters from the original Dune book. His grotesque form and malevolent nature are captured in this NFT, which started as a 3D scan of a Fat Buddha sculpture and was digitally sculpted and painted to resemble Harkonnen’s menacing presence.
