Guardian Demons

A collection of demon portraits that explore the friendly and protective side of the demonic image.

Artistic Influence

The demons in this collection represent our inner struggles and temptations.These demons are unique to us, and we often hide their ugliness away and pretend that they don’t exist.

In cultures around the world grotesque images, gargoyles or demon masks have been used to ward off evil spirits. They are also used to protect individuals from harm, dangerous beings, or unseen evil influences.

Each demon is original and unique (like our inner struggles) and there are no two demons that are exactly the same in the collection. Unlike our inner demons, these images are meant to be carried, displayed and shared as a reminder that you have the power to overcome your personal demons no matter how many or how frightening they might be.

The poet Charles Buckowski put it this way:

“Don’t fight your demons. Your demons are here to teach you lessons. Sit down with your demons and have a drink and a chat and learn their names and talk about the burns on their fingers and scratches on their ankles. Some of them are very nice.”

Technical Details

Each demon is unique. Generated from over 250 elements and backgrounds, there are trillions of unique possible combinations ensuring each demon that is curated by the artist is unique.

The portraits incorporate bold and bright colors and have a strong graphic quality. They employ various organic or geometric patterns, some dynamically generated from computer programs created by the artist.

Individual elements were all drawn, rendered and composed by the artist. A computer program was also written by the artist along with tools to generate images, curate and customize each image in the collection.

Demons are stored and on the Tezos blockchain - a distributed and energy efficient blockchain with low transaction fees.

The demons will be minted on hicetnunc.art and Kalamint.io and are currently available on the Tezos blockchain.

A 10% commission for all resales will be given to the artist to help fund future projects.
