Behind The Screen with Gramajo

Episode07: Gramajo (@0xGramajo) is joined by Seattledog (@seattledog0603). Seattledog is an art enthusiast and collector whose passion for contemporary art is evident through the work that adorns their space. The walls serve as a testament to diverse tastes, featuring pieces by notable artists such as Gary Baseman, Gary Taxali, Takashi Murakami, and works from Kazakh culture. A long-time admirer of the artist Dalek, Seattledog has followed his work for decades, always seeking to add a piece to their collection, even when it proved difficult to do so.

The advent of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) opened a new avenue for Seattledog. This innovative digital marketplace enabled them to acquire some of Dalek's art more easily, paying for it with tezos—a form of cryptocurrency. Through this medium, not only did they expand their collection, but they also formed a personal connection with the artist they had long admired. The journey from scraping together resources to own a physical snowboard or skate deck with Dalek's designs to now being able to possess digital works reflects Seattledog's adaptability and their deep-rooted love for art.
