# Nouns Artist Residency — 6 Month Extension

### TL;DR

I’m requesting 4.8 ETH to extend my Nouns artist residency for six months.
I will continue creating nounish artwork, proposing new heads, developing characters and lore, collaborating with nouners, and expanding Nouns Colombia as a broader regional cultural platform.

## Proposal

The past months of my residency have been incredible. I’ve spent over two years getting to know the community, building deep and valuable friendships, and immersing myself in the culture of Nouns. I was already deeply connected and committed, but traveling to Argentina in November, being present at the Nouns booth at DevConnect, and meeting so many members in person strengthened that bond and reinforced my love for the community. Being recognized as the Nouns artist resident and connecting with people face-to-face has made me even more motivated to continue contributing. I am deeply grateful for the trust and space the DAO and community have given me so far — it has allowed me to grow as an artist and as a participant in this ecosystem.

Over the next six months, I will continue my artistic exploration within Nouns, developing characters, lore, and visual work that strengthens the language of the ecosystem. Inspiration will come from conversations, calls, community interactions, and moments within the DAO, allowing me to create pieces that are meaningful and relevant for the community. Nouners can reach out to me when they need artwork to support their projects, and I will also produce work that complements executed proposals — reflecting the sentiment of the DAO, enhancing visibility, and adding artistic depth where it is meaningful. Whether for official Nouns social channels or to enrich ongoing initiatives, my aim is for the art to live alongside the community and the culture.

When moments call for a portrait, a meme, a poster, a visual narrative, or something unexpected, I want to respond in a way that is playful, resonant, and connected to the ecosystem.

The transition from @ferianounish to [@nounscolombia](https://instagram.com/nounscolombia) on Instagram has been an important step forward. This change expands the vision beyond a single event and allows us to cultivate a broader regional platform for artistic collaborations, audiovisual projects, murals, workshops, cultural activations, and future editions of the fair. This period is particularly important because Feria Nounish Vol. 3 is planned for the second half of the year, and the work done now will help lay the foundations to make the event bigger and stronger than before.

I’m excited to continue growing within the community and outwardly — carrying forward the discourse of creative optimism that defines Nouns into the local and regional artistic ecosystem. I want to translate this energy into tangible cultural presence, contributing both to the people and the projects that make Nouns what it is. I’m asking for the stability to continue doing this work with focus, consistency, and the creative freedom to respond wherever the community needs me.

I’m currently building a small website that will function as a living “Nouns Residency Portfolio” — a timeline-style review of my work during the residency, alongside curated galleries of past and current nounish pieces. The idea is not only to document what has already been done, but to create a space that can continue growing: featuring CC0 works, commissioned pieces, collaborations, Nouns Colombia activations, other artists, and future events.

I’m still figuring out the technical side — this is actually my first time seriously building something like this — but I’m committed to making it happen because I believe the DAO deserves a clear, accessible visual archive of the work produced through this engagement.

I’ll share progress as it develops.

### Budget

4.8 ETH for six months of dedicated artistic contribution.
