“Historic Artifacts: AI Artists on the Blockchain” is a weekly blog article presented by “Historic_Crypto,” dedicated to unearthing and promoting the talents of artists in the AI art space.

Each week, “HC” takes readers on a journey through the realm of AI art, shedding light on the extraordinary works of talented artists who are pushing the boundaries of creativity through the fusion of technology and artistic expression.

I. Tymothy Longoria

Tymothy Longoria (a.k.a. Rebel Without Applause) is a writer and AI artist self-described as a “traveler through the wilderness of ambiguities now telling stories through art.”

“_Look At Me : Anathema Adorned” — .185 ETH Reserve on Foundation

His work takes on darker themes and imagery with touches of beauty intertwined. As he says, “We are in an age where beauty is a touchscreen away, where every story ever told can be read, and new ideas bring new ways to see the familiar, yet we still imagine. The grandeur of it all.”

IV. DocT

Born in Germany, Doc T’s artistic journey started with the rebellious spirit of his teenage years, delving into the world of street art. While his early artistic endeavors were diverse, the path to becoming a pediatrician seemed inevitable.

“Edvard Munch | The Scream” — Art Underground, .069 ETH Reserve on Foundation

Throughout his medical career, Doc T never abandoned his love for art, incorporating photography as a way to capture the powerful imagery he encountered during his work in conflict zones and refugee camps. However, it wasn’t until the advent of NFTs and AI that his artistic journey took a turn. Exploring the possibilities of AI-generated art, Doc T discovered the freedom and potential to create art driven purely by ideas and concepts.

“Scene #2: Reversal of Fate” — .15 ETH Reserve on SuperRare

While the journey of Doc T has been marked by transitions and exploration, one thing remains certain: his commitment to using art to express the complexities of the human condition.
