Expressing myself through art has always been important to me, and I am thankful that throughout my life there has always been a group of friends that I share this passion with. Through NFTs though, I have been able to explore and challenge myself in a new way that has led to some great opportunities and collaborations. Being able to bring someone's idea to life through stories, sketches and experiences has become something that brings me a lot of enjoyment. Seeing the transformation of characters from a pfp to something more detailed, expressive, and filled with emotion is something that captivates me every time. I’m looking forward to this commission process because I think there’s something powerful about helping people feel more connected with the art they own, and express themselves through the characters they imagine.

A single comic panel is more than just an illustration. The framework conveys progression, while details invite the reader to scour for meaning. A whole comic can be intimidating to create, but a single panel is an invitation to test your curiosity of a story line, gauge its reaction, or engage your community. That is why I am happy to introduce my commission collection, Figment.

I’ve always loved film, but there are certain moments that always caught my attention more than others. Seeing a location for the first time, you experience the lighting, the mood, the feel of the landscape. The location / landscape is as much a character in the narrative as the hero or villain. With this collection I invite you to explore beyond the borders of your PFP and discover the environment that surrounds them. This single cinematic frame will be a snapshot of as they find themselves on the precipice of something larger than themselves.

Beyond the Borders

Whether I’m developing a political drama, a rom-com, or a fantasy adventure script, I write stories about witty underdogs who rise to buck the systems that they’ve been raised in. Screenwriting gives me the chance to explore new worlds and subvert expectations by offering a perspective that Hollywood doesn't typically see. My journey to screenwriting started when I created #StarringJohnCho, a viral movement that used Photoshop to reimagine hit movie posters with actor John Cho in the lead role. The project sparked a global discussion about Asian representation in media and pushed me to start telling my own stories from my community. Now, I’m a repped screenwriter whose work has been recognized by top writing fellowships like the Sundance Episodic Lab and the NBCU TV Writers Program, as well as having been voted to the annual Black List, which selects the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood. I believe that a good story starts by taking complicated characters hiding vulnerable secrets, and then unleashing those truths in extraordinary, high-flying moments. Co-creating these Atrium stories will require trust, communication, and a dash of hope and give us both the chance to discover new ways to learn about experiences beyond our own.

This is the prologue to your NFT’s unique story. The discovery of a disturbing secret. A chance encounter with the future love of their life. The tragic accident that motivated them to don the cape. The Origin Story Collection from yuwil will provide a striking, scripted vignette that will introduce your NFT at the beginning of their story and set up future narrative possibilities. Together, we’ll discuss and co-create the internal and external drivers of your character and discover what adventure they’re about to be called to embark on.
