Thank you so much for chatting with us today. When did Arthus start becoming interested in art?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_190097\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-190097\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-190097 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-happy.jpeg\" alt=\"arthus ng snake overload nft art hong kong\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-happy.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-happy-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-happy-768x549.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-190097\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When <i>Snake Overload<\/i> meets soft pastels (Photography: Ching Lee; Arthus Ng via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Ching:<\/strong> Arthus was actually only a few months old when he created his first piece of \u201cart\u201d. It was when I brought him along to my exhibition; at one point, I held him while he stomped around a blank canvas on the ground with the paint on his soles. Without knowing anything about art (being literally zero years old), Arthus made some wonderful patterns. So, I guess this was the very beginning of his story as an artist.<\/p>\n<p>As Arthus grew older, he began doodling and playing around with art in general, much like other kids his age. By the time when he was around four years old, he was able to hold a pen, write, and draw more properly. Funnily enough, it was then when I also started to notice that he seemed to have a liking towards \u201ccreepier\u201d subjects, rather than cutesy stuff. He liked <em>A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/em>, for instance\u2026! Although he\u2019s never watched the movie itself, he found the aesthetics very scary and \u201ccool\u201d \u2013 perhaps this was when his own preference and sense of style began to emerge. Moreover, when he was dressing up as horror movie characters for Halloween, he wouldn\u2019t just wear a readymade costume; he\u2019d try to remodel or add his own artistic elements to it. For example, we repainted the toy chainsaw he used for his Halloween costume together. Looking back, Arthus\u2019s journey with art, so far, has been an ongoing process; he\u2019s always been in touch with it since young.<\/p>\n<h3>How did Arthus go into NFT?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ching:<\/strong> Arthus started experimenting with NFT art about a year ago. At first, we put up his NFTs not for money-making, but to try and help him access the art world using different platforms. As of now, Arthus has created 23 snakes (two copies per snake), with collectors around the world. The <em>King Snake<\/em> was created when he was younger; whereas some snakes go way back and were made back when he was only four or five years old. For the purpose of making NFTs, Arthus has been revisiting some of his past favourites to amend and improve them before publishing them online.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you make an NFT?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_190098\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-190098\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-190098 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-3d-practice.jpeg\" alt=\"arthus ng nft artist hong kong\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-3d-practice.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-3d-practice-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-3d-practice-768x549.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-190098\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Compared to 2D drawing, 3D rendering is relatively challenging for Arthus (Photography: Ching Lee; Arthus Ng via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Arthus:<\/strong> I first draw on an iPad. Then, I animate it. Finally, I use editing apps to add my own voice to it. Creating a piece of NFT art usually takes a few hours, at least. It may take a few days too, especially when it comes to 3D [rendering]. I think NFT art is more fun than just putting a pen on paper, because it\u2019s easier to upload my art and share it with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ching:<\/strong> Once Arthus finishes his piece, he seldom goes into the minting process, or gets involved with putting it up on the blockchain and OpenSea. This is because it\u2019s associated with issues like gas fees and cryptocurrency. For an eight-year-old child \u2013 as much as he understands what NFTs are and how they work at a basic level \u2013 I haven\u2019t really let him execute the minting part himself due to the complexity and the fact that huge sums of money are often involved.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, I\u2019d say 90%, if not 99%, is Arthus\u2019s own work. The only instances when he\u2019d come up to me during the creative process would be when he had a specific effect in mind, but he had no idea how to achieve it, no matter how he tried. When this happens, I try to chat with him, work with him, and just make gentle prompts. I may suggest: \u201cDo you think this might work better?\u201d, or \u201chow about doing this instead?\u201d I always interact with him, so that we can solve the problems together.<\/p>\n<h3>Arthus, please tell us more about your <em>Snake Overload<\/em> collection!<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_190095\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-190095\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-190095 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-knitting-snake.jpeg\" alt=\"arthus ng knitting snake nft art hong kong\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-knitting-snake.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-knitting-snake-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-knitting-snake-768x549.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-190095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can find Arthus\u2019s works on Level B2 of K11 Musea until 19 June (Photography: Ching Lee; Arthus Ng via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Arthus:<\/strong> I\u2019m fascinated by snakes, because I was born in the Year of the Snake. I also find the biology of snakes interesting. Oh, and I like reptiles, too! And, in addition to the snakes being unique NFTs themselves, I think that they\u2019re special as they all have different superpowers. They also have different occupations \u2013 just like humans. You\u2019ll find Chef Snake, Pirate Snake, Knitting Snake, and even a Santa Snake in my collection.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you balance between studying and making art?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Arthus:<\/strong> Both schooling and NFT are fun to me, each in different ways. NFT is fun as it involves a lot of creativity and colours; school is fun too, as I can learn many different things. At the moment, I\u2019m enjoying English lessons the most, since we\u2019re learning about plays, scripts, and theatre. I also like maths, as well as arts and crafts. Making NFTs does take up a bit of time, but thankfully, I don\u2019t have too much homework. Outside of school and art, I love to play video games and just chill\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Do you want to pursue art and NFT when you grow up?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_190099\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-190099\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-190099 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-ching-lee.jpeg\" alt=\"ching lee arthus ng\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-ching-lee.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-ching-lee-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/interview-arthus-ng-ching-lee-768x549.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-190099\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cue the awws!

I want my art to become better and better! Plus, I know Mum will always support me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ching:<\/strong> Of course! And even at this stage, I believe NFT is more than just a medium for art \u2013 it\u2019s a new, applicable piece of technology that\u2019s worth all of us exploring. So, allowing Arthus to explore the NFT world in terms of art and exclusive ownership is a good way for him to learn about it, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p><em>Check out Arthus Ng\u2019s <\/em>Snake Overload<em> collection on <a href=\"https:\/\/opensea.io\/collection\/snake-overload\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">OpenSea<\/a>.
