[Spotlight] Surfing the artistic waves of web3 with Alimo

The Matthew and Rizzle Show

Ahead of his upcoming Nifty Gateway drop, I had the pleasure of sitting down to record a very chill chat with the digital artist Alimo.

Alimo has a lovely post-pop nature-themed drawing style that makes his work instantly recognizable. If you ever shopped at Patagonia, Apple, Nike, Volcom, among other places, chances are high that you've seen Alimo's work before.

Over the course of our chat, we talk about Alimo's artistic journey that emerged early on alongside a passion for outdoor sports, most notably skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing, that took a gnarly detour at university where he initially majored in business(!) before switching to digital arts.

After graduation, Alimo traveled the world before finding his way into agency life during a spontaneous trip to Saigon which ultimately took him to San Diego and San Francisco where his Alimo artist persona really grew roots.

We dive into how Alimo found crypto & NFTs, how he met Bryan Brinkman, and of course dive into all the details around his upcoming drop on Nifty Gateway titled "Summer Time."

"Summer Time" by Alimo will go live on Nifty Gateway Thursday, May 25th at 6:30 pm ET. You can preview the collection and set a drop alert HERE.
