Sunday Funday

“I want always to be on the edge, on the frontier. I go where I think communities are interesting. If it’s harder to collect, I like it better.”

Collecting NFT art suits Sunday Funday’s personality. IRL, he’s been a collector of many things, so it felt natural that he should find his niche in the NFT world. For him, the same as for many people, the pandemic speeded things up and propelled him into crypto, after he’d had the time to look into it.

But regular mainstream was never going to be enough for him.

“I want always to be on the edge, on the frontier. I go where I think communities are interesting. If it’s harder to collect, I like it better.”

He even pushed past generative art and was looking for new groups to join, so he joined TungstenDAO, which comprises 80 – 85% artists.

As much as he’s part of the TungstenDAO community, Sunday Funday is more interested in talking to people one-to-one, either online or IRL. He collects not to get access to the artists or to be acknowledged for his collection. He shares: “Maybe people don’t really know about my collection. The artists do, but maybe the general public doesn’t, and I’m okay with that.”

He has recently started attending IRL events, interacting with the artists he admires, and believes that the connections happen immediately, giving a real insight into what the artists are doing and why they are doing it in the way they are creating.

Pairing attendance at shows and events with NFT collecting suits the way Sunday Funday thinks. “That’s where the power of this is – community combined with the artist and where we can take it next.”

And where does this self-proclaimed crypto explorer and frontier pioneer believe crypto and web3 are going to take us? “I think crypto culture will become mainstream culture, and I think the artists are going to be the ones to penetrate that public consciousness,” says Sunday Funday. And for sure, he’ll be right there cheering them on.
