"IsoMetro" by Rick Crane and Rich Poole the first release on 8NAP art
Episode artwork - IsoMetro (sample) by Rich Poole and Rick Crane

In this Artist's Corner we speak with Rick Crane and Rich Poole, the top digital-generative artist due, with Rick being a wizard of digital art with a special talent for illustrative minimalism, and Rich being one of the most prolific generative artists.

In this episode we discuss Rich and Rick's partnership that has evolved through their prior hit releases Miniscapes and Acequia and how it's culminated in IsoMetro. We also talk about their pioneering of a new genre - generative minimalsm, and how it's all created by code (yes, all of it!) and culminates in their first fully on-chain project. We also jump into the details of Isometro, including some teases, and we touch on why they chose 8NAP Art to release on + how that's compared to other platforms. Don't miss this one!
