Hi everyone! On DaVinci, my name is TohsterSG, the artist behind the Pixel Pigeons and Cryptohammies collections. I’d like to put myself up as a potential candidate for the daVinci DAO council.
I’ve never really done this before, so please bear with me if I’m not doing it right haha.
A little about me; i’m an English teacher in Singapore, married to my beautiful wife, and I absolutely adore animals, especially hamsters and dogs. I first started creating NFTs back in August, when my hammie passed on. It started as a way to cope with her loss, then it grew into something more. The Harmony One community, and the DaVinci community, truly inspired me. I had collectors message me directly to say that they liked my art, and I was so incredibly touched and motivated to keep going, to get better, and to keep making more creations. Without this amazing spirit of support, it would have been impossible for me to have continued.
I’ve met so many incredible people here, and I look forward to meeting even more of ya’ll. Those who know me know that I tend to speak my mind. If I feel something isn’t right, I won’t shy away from saying it. I have definitely had my criticisms of DaVinci, from the perspective of an artist and a user. Ultimately, I would like to be able to help DaVinci to grow stronger, to overcome some glaring obstacles in its way, and most importantly to build a strong and supportive community, where we not only nurture talent and welcome people from all over the world, but also to protect the sanctity of each others’ works, and prevent the exploitation of art and artists.
I want to help make DaVinci the best it can be, and one of my areas of focus will be on ensuring that DaVinci will be known as a platform where all artists are welcome, and where we will steadfastly fight to preserve and protect all artists’ work, and thereby also ensuring that when collectors come to DaVinci, they know they are getting legitimate creations, and not something stolen or taken from elsewhere.
I am familiar with how the platform works, and will be able to provide troubleshooting for most problems faced on davinci. While I have no significant coding experience, I believe that I will be able to give perspective from a user’s pov, and to help finetune areas that need finetuning. I’m also pretty good at writing and stuff, so that’s another thing I can help out with.
So yea, that’s me in a nutshell! if you’d like to know more about me, you can reach me on any of my social media channels:
