Welcome to Dragon Street 🐲 Yu Cai @yucai_pink is an artist/illustrator/explorer in a pink nostalgic universe. Her new collection, ‘Dragon Street’ is coming to Drops on @withfoundation tomorrow, Nov 15! (Link in bio) A collection of 333 unique illustrations of the citizens of Dragon Street with unique visual traits, rendered in Yu Cai’s signature style of pastel pinks and blues with neon y2k accents. An exploration of adolescence in a digital age. “I created this collection because I wanted to create a virtual scene, a cool meeting place in the city. No matter where you come from, you can come and hang out on Dragon Street. Signboard bulbs flicker in empty streets. Butterflies beside the old phone booth are like swirling notes in music 🎶 The postcard is printed with an image of your hometown. The city is blue ocean 🌊 swallowing night and memory. You get on a train and hear a familiar voice calling: you look back, and see your eighteen-year-old self traveling with a bag, smiling. Living in the intersection of the past and future, lost among the neon lights and high-arching viaducts, you crave for intimacy, but equally for freedom.” On Drops: “I think the most interesting part of Drops is that collectors don't know which ones they will collect exactly, like a blind box, which is very appealing. It’s really a very creative form of design within #NFT. And I have always wanted to create a collection of characters stamped with my own style. My floor is getting higher but I hope with #Drops, my works can be collected by more people with wider dissemination.” - #art #artist #illustrator #digitalartist #foundation #dragon #street #nftcollection #pink #blue #love #y2k #anime #digitalart #nft
