Manhole Covers of The World
This project started in NYC where I live. I was looking for something unique and that would be quantifiable by GPS coordinates. I found out how many people have a love for this subject and I started photographing them and painting them.
These are all 1 of 1, each photograph is hand painted digitally by me. My goal is to reach 100 covers, but likely it will be a more as people from around the world are contributing images for me to paint.
In the overall project 20% of the purchase will go to a charity, currently those are nonprofits working in Ukraine either helping children or in the medical field. Some specific pieces will contribute 100% to charity, like the Poland/Ukraine NFT.
If you wish to contribute to this project please contact me via Twitter or email chiosphoto@gmail.com. Photo needs to be taken with your phone, has to be geotagged and be from above, like the sample above. Please use a resolution higher than 2400px on the short side. If you don't know how to do this, just use the highest quality on your phone.
Thanks!
20% of sales go to a disaster response nonprofit organization, hopefully soon in the smart contract. Some pieces have 100% profit going to them.
Puzzle Pieces (PUZZLETZ)
This collection was created thinking on how we all fit in the puzzle in different ways. It evolved into creating 2 characters. For the moment you have several different puzzle piece shapes drawn by me and then stylized as 1 of 1 for the collection. The goal is to have 100 pieces of which 73 have been already made.
Geometries
Geometric shapes is something I love playing with, please click on the link to see more.
Abstracts
Most of us artist have a time in our lives when we paint abstracts, and actually that is how I started painting.
MadDotz
This collection was created as a joke after seeing all the PFPs online, funny enough it grew to over 100 pieces. All are 1 of 1, and some not so mad.

Who am I?
I am a very complicated person, no, just kidding. I was born in Venezuela and moved to NYC over 30 years ago. My main gig is commercial photography and lately documentary. I have for years been involved with disaster response organization as a volunteer and my charitable contributions usually go there.
You can see my photography at http://photostudio.com
I am a dad of 2 great kids, well, new adults now, married and have a dog. My life is simple, if I am not working in NYC I usually try to be on the field of a disaster helping. Doing the latter can get expensive so please buy my NFTs to finance my ventures and possibly fund http://n2ngo.org which will be my own response nonprofit organization.
Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me!

Photo: my studio in NYC is a basement underneath a barbershop. I moved here to a 300 sq. ft basement from a 4,500 sq. ft loft in 2008. Was hard to get used to, but now I truly enjoy it. Photo by Alberto Ferreras.
