[0:53 - 4:39] Sabretooth starts by asking Stuart how he started with NFTs.  Stuart started to join the NFT world because of the crazy money currently being made. Stuart’s work is very futuristic with an utopian or dystopian feel and pairs with music bands. Kizu asks if there are any influencers that have remained consistent in his work. Stuart explains that he imagines a universe where all creatures and people all live in the same realm. Music is a large contributing factor to his art.  

[4:39 - 8:26] Stuart started out using Maya 3D, the 3Ds Max, and now Cinema 4D. Sabretooth asks if Stuart sees the tools as what he can do with them or seeks out tools to create what he wishes to create. Stuart landed on Cinema 4D because it is fairly fast and an easy user interface.  He then started to use Octane Render. Octane Render would take a significant amount of time. When Octane came out for Cinema 4D, he challenged himself to learn all there was about the software. Then in late 2015, he came across Beeple’s Everydays. Beeple uses Cinema 4D with Octane and Stuart really started to learn it then. With plugins and addons, Stuart tries to learn as many tools as he can to get his ideas across. 

[8:25 - 11:29 ] Kizu discusses how successful artists have a bigger following and others do not have that recognition. Stuart explains how previous to his first sale, he did not know how cryptocurrency worked. He then sold his first piece and continued to sell really well. Then one day the selling stopped.  He took a couple of months break and then posted pieces that were popular on Instagram and Twitter. These did not sell either though. Despite his large Instagram following and his Twitter account, it is not the case. He is still trying to figure out his own place in the NFT world. 

[11:29 - 13:29 ] To explain this trend in Stuart’s sales, Sabretooth gives his opinion on NFT’s speculation premium. Sabretooth says that people are buying at a premium and that premium says that the price will go up. When the speculation premium was taken out of the market, sales started to decline and have not recovered at this time. Sabretooth asks Stuart to explain how much of his time is spent on client work versus NFTs. 

[11:29 - 16:50 ] From 2016 to this year, Stuart was doing client work and his Everyday Project. In July, he decided that he was done with his Everyday Project. His successes from this past year, allowed him to take the rest of the year off from his art. He has chosen to really focus on learning new tools though. Kizu is wondering if Stuart is learning a specific new effect or just adding to his toolbox? Stuart explains that he has a far goal to create worlds in augmented reality using Unreal. The observer would be able to experience a virtual reality scenario within his art. With there being so many tools available, he is always learning. It can all go into his work and be translated into...
