We sift through the social media and NFT platforms to find the best artists waiting to be discovered. UNDRGRND believes in the artists we feature and we will purchase NFTs from each artist featured.

The pigeons at least behave in a pigeon-like manner pecking away and playing their favorite game (“Need for Bread”) in _Breadracer._ The chattering teeth arguing in _Bar\_dispute_ and the anatomically correct heart lounging in a rocking chair in _Cardio\_leisure_ are absurdly incredible but never realistically occurring. Created in retro computer graphics style these images fit into any motion art collection. * * * ### [Zamahel](https://twitter.com/itzamahel) ![Cie Quich](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659870403034-6ULBZP3Y41A8UE6CSWHE/afscz.gif) Cie Quich ![Botzanga](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659870856798-KX7DDR6RDKZIR9I8X3ZJ/wcd.gif) Botzanga ![Tlacaxipehualiztli](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659871443995-TN0YJNF703JN9S8V8RJU/rgwb.gif) Tlacaxipehualiztli ![Ixkik & U Zamahel Xibalba](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659871831341-QIBFWGPZVWB3OEST1QIZ/ikyjuthygtfr.gif) Ixkik & U Zamahel Xibalba ![Kokyangwuti](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659872211843-MLIJJESHJMW8FGJA5CUK/efsd.gif) Kokyangwuti ![Tangata Manu](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659873880669-ZQX9I4Q7LHMBLMX4EF5N/iuiu.gif) Tangata Manu ![Slide 1](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659870403034-6ULBZP3Y41A8UE6CSWHE/afscz.gif)![Slide 2](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659870856798-KX7DDR6RDKZIR9I8X3ZJ/wcd.gif)![Slide 3](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659871443995-TN0YJNF703JN9S8V8RJU/rgwb.gif)![Slide 4](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659871831341-QIBFWGPZVWB3OEST1QIZ/ikyjuthygtfr.gif)![Slide 5](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659872211843-MLIJJESHJMW8FGJA5CUK/efsd.gif)![Slide 6](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659873880669-ZQX9I4Q7LHMBLMX4EF5N/iuiu.gif) There isn’t enough space to tell the complete story of Zamahel’s work in just one UNDRGRND DIGS. A majority of his work tells the story of indigenous people fighting against imperialist nations. In his genesis piece, Zamahel writes in the description, “This is my first piece of cryptoart and reflects my inspiration, respect and interest for the pre-Hispanic First Nations of the western hemisphere, their history, culture, existence and struggle in the present.” Stories and culture will die with no one left to tell them but with Zamahel’s art (and blockchain technology) history can survive invasions, genocides and even us. * * * ### [Smarahakim](https://twitter.com/syamarahakim) ![Zombi Lembur](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659874179878-K0T75IXF59J9YKDKOI90/artifact+%2851%29.gif) Zombi Lembur ![Smarahakim x O.G.

In _Zombi Lembur_ we’re introduced to one of his corporate men, The First Manager. Here dedication is greater than your health, life and even money. Dedication to the corporate world, the bottom line and you too can toast to a profitable quarter and celebrate with a nice glass of poison. Smarahakim, while from Japan, resonates with anyone from the working class regardless of country of origin. * * * ### [Intton Godelg](https://twitter.com/intton) ![XATYNE WHEEL xf-1](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659877141853-4CBP41PNHVUT9KFOFAXH/qregfsrddd.gif) XATYNE WHEEL xf-1 ![músculos i1](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659877507479-E9WLBXQG0TNEZBXFOUMO/rgdsxc.gif) músculos i1 ![XATYNE RAT V1](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659878039229-ZDCLFK74CL7S0HEHVLMS/kjh.gif) XATYNE RAT V1 ![cara i2](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659878400394-UC8CJSUVTKBWGDMN86M9/ut.gif) cara i2 ![rotor S3](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659883998893-KV3AK3KAOOLHV3YGW21K/ezgif.com-gif-maker+%2812%29.gif) rotor S3 ![cruz azul rotor i2](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659884262800-N6G2F80ZW22ARXSXMZIX/Dvc.gif) cruz azul rotor i2 ![Slide 1](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659877141853-4CBP41PNHVUT9KFOFAXH/qregfsrddd.gif)![Slide 2](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659877507479-E9WLBXQG0TNEZBXFOUMO/rgdsxc.gif)![Slide 3](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659878039229-ZDCLFK74CL7S0HEHVLMS/kjh.gif)![Slide 4](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659878400394-UC8CJSUVTKBWGDMN86M9/ut.gif)![Slide 5](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659883998893-KV3AK3KAOOLHV3YGW21K/ezgif.com-gif-maker+%2812%29.gif)![Slide 6](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659884262800-N6G2F80ZW22ARXSXMZIX/Dvc.gif) These colorful, intricate machines are beautiful, technological marvels considering the size a Dr. Vicente Ventura designs them. Intton Godelg tells us in the description that in this found footage of the machines (showcasing a variety of experiments exploring consciousness) the fruits in the foreground could be used for scale or gives us an alternate use, like making sorbet. These masterful 3D images are mesmerizing but perhaps the true art is Intton’s dry sense of humor shining through the world he creates in those little blurbs. * * * ### [Gaston Girbal](https://twitter.com/gaston_girbal) ![Vortex](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659882836259-AB23OGL58OER6MYYZUOJ/artifact+%2845%29.jpeg) Vortex ![Quatuor Coronati](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659882431560-WGN98DX0EJWEJ487EO7H/artifact+%2843%29.jpeg) Quatuor Coronati ![Enlighted](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659882549042-SPSVYSG6CKAY6XNUWRS8/artifact+%2824%29.png) Enlighted ![Graphene](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659882707014-4BI2KP63Y3VXGLRFW3XA/artifact+%2844%29.jpeg) Graphene ![Desolation](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659883264707-TZ0VAQQXZ9C80T56TCH0/artifact+%2825%29.png) Desolation ![Venice Canals](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659883489195-MIV138WQKNYJ0JT6WJBA/QmXBTuRdH2MVqJmsAvKT4GsTw18p8gBcsMCsokqscF6x63.jpeg) Venice Canals ![Slide 1](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659882836259-AB23OGL58OER6MYYZUOJ/artifact+%2845%29.jpeg)![Slide 2](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659882431560-WGN98DX0EJWEJ487EO7H/artifact+%2843%29.jpeg)![Slide 3](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659882549042-SPSVYSG6CKAY6XNUWRS8/artifact+%2824%29.png)![Slide 4](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659882707014-4BI2KP63Y3VXGLRFW3XA/artifact+%2844%29.jpeg)![Slide 5](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659883264707-TZ0VAQQXZ9C80T56TCH0/artifact+%2825%29.png)![Slide 6](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613978bc7e5cf900cb25f3a9/1659883489195-MIV138WQKNYJ0JT6WJBA/QmXBTuRdH2MVqJmsAvKT4GsTw18p8gBcsMCsokqscF6x63.jpeg) Watching Gaston’s [videos of him](https://twitter.com/gaston_girbal/status/1551424513128050688?s=20&t=RGcbbNWrU8lD48_x5n3J9w) creating these detailed drawings are part of the artwork themselves. Each NFT carries Gaston’s creed “We are Architects of our Destiny”. Paired with a subtle “DMT” in his OBJKT profile and the geometric designs we can assume these intricate drawings stem from visions Gaston has seen in the great beyond. [_Killed Soil_](https://objkt.com/asset/KT19uYr8Ta4MiDqrn7GQqy86tcLTG1BGxmU1/45) confirms this with his description, “Opening Doorways to Unknown Realities.” The enlightenment gained from those DMT experiences is now generating exquisitely detailed drawings encouraging us all to forge our path along with him. * * * _Each UNDRGRND DIGS will feature artists our curators have purchased for the UNDRGRND Collection.
