👩🎨 Builder Spotlight
warrragwag has a background in architecture and interiors, with an inclination for archviz. He's been in the cryptoart space for over one year, with most of his work focusing on looping 3D motion graphics with some architectural elements incorporated.
His tagline, “Make architecture weird again,” comes from his history of always sketching offbeat stuff — things that are either totally impractical or senseless to construct in the real world.

His inspirations come from all over — from abstract paintings, graffiti, mecha anime, and even his surrounding environments and nature.
”A lot of the time, I feel like I’m spinning round and round.”
Some artistic influences include Lebbeus Woods, Atelier Olschinsky, William Wray, Ashley Wood, and early Zaha.
Last January, he was featured alongside some of Asia’s best digital artists in NFTS: The New North Star, a collaboration developed by SEA Focus, Crypto Art Week Asia, and Tezos APAC for Singapore Art Week 2022.
🎨 Artists's Wise Words:
Just keep learning. Learn about blockchain and crypto, security, and how it relates to art and UX.
As for the architecture side, I try to make my creations as strange and unfamiliar as possible. Some people say metaverse creations should be nothing like the real world, but I believe it should have some kind of a link to the real world - like gravity or a sense of up and down, at least. Otherwise, if it is totally alien, I feel that the user might not even know where to begin. So to sum it up, just dream and make it a reality (at least digitally)!
