Welcome back to The Dankness, your go-to destination for all things crypto art and culture. This week, we've got a special guest that's going to blow your mind. Carlos Marcial is an amazing 3D artist, known for his infinitely looping masterpieces that tackle themes of governmental power and corruption. His work celebrates decentralized currency and crypto culture and it often contains reference to 20th-century art and artists.

In this episode, Carlos opens up about balancing his art career with the responsibilities of being a husband and a dad, and how crypto art has opened up doors for him that were previously closed in the traditional art world. He's also teaching himself to code and has a new generative art project in the works that's sure to make waves 🐚

Carlos is not one to shy away from speaking his mind, and his straightforward and unapologetic approach to art and life is what makes him one of our favorite people in the digital art space.
