Kentucky Derby : Secretariat 1973 Print

My Name is KxMx Lane I am a Digital and Traditional Artist. I enjoy creating Landscapes, abstract art, characters for a storyline, street art, and artworks in my own signature style I call GriPP Art. I started doing art as a form of therapy. At First, I hid my work, until one day my friend's son seen one of my characters and began urging me to let the public see more of my artworks. He showed back up at my house later by himself and gave me a bag of art supplies he bought with his own money. So, The First piece I made, I made for my Friend's Son. This moment propelled me in a lot of ways, it made me to start doing art for a purpose instead of for a hobby, it made me realize talents i had that i wasnt making the most of, and some I wasnt using at all, the moment also put an unfound belief I had for myself that had been absent before in my artistry. On September 21, 2021 was the day I officially started KmLaneArt as a small business in my home state. That Night, I posted my first nfts on the site Mintable. and shortly after I posted my first Collection on Opensea. It was when I joined Voice.com that I really started to see interest in my artworks in the public sphere. Also while being an Artist on Voice I was able to join a community of like-minded artist that had recently began their art careers just like me. We would bounce questions, ideas, and share our recent creations with each other. Artist in this group soon began collaborating with one another on an array of different projects. I participated on a project where 20 artist were selected to contribute on an Artwork with a theme based on Peace, Love, and Unity. I have collaborated with artist: Jenna Quader, John Shepard, Amanda Veasey, James Lee, Weird One, Yugen, S.R. Chappell, 80's Nfts, Anelia Angelova, Pitbull, Zorb, Raheem Nelson, MarVin, Tony Streetsz, Sam Kim, Verset 420, Sasha Mihajlovic, ZedTrafficker, and CrystalsoftheLight as of today. A lil while after the 20 artist collab, I entered my first art contest and finished in 4th place. About a Month later, I entered my 2nd art contest with my artwork titled "Despair". After much anticipation they released the results for the Contest and "Despair" ended up winning! I was embolden after the contest to try harder, make better pieces and to participate in more art related activities. In my 3rd year of my art journey my popular had increased and I started being a speaker on a few podcast and was interviewed on a few podcast as well.
