# 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. My work combines artistic exploration with community engagement, producing pieces that resonate with the culture and reflect the spirit of Nouns.

## 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.

## Commitments

**Monthly artworks** — Each month I will publish a documented set of illustrations and GIFs: nounish characters, lore pieces, memes, and community-responsive work. These will be archived on the Nouns Colombia website and shared across channels so the DAO can track them clearly.

**Nouns heads** — I will develop and submit at least 10 new Nouns heads to the DAO over the course of the residency. Each submission will be shared publicly with context and process.

**Nouns Colombia website** — The website is already in development and will launch before this residency period officially begins. It will serve as:

- A living portfolio and timeline of my residency work   
- A platform documenting Nouns Colombia events, collaborations, and regional activations   
- A CC0 resource hub for nounish art coming out of Latin America
