“Stand Still”
My journey on Near Protocol ain’t that cool compared to the other artists you may know, it all started from being me full of insecurities about my skills. Until i meet the FAG Fam who wave their flag ang humbly welcomed me as a member.Being an artist as well as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community give a very huge impact on my styles and technique on my artworks. The character portrays my ideal self and how I become part of this journey. I consider my self a master of cards, because on this world each of us were masters of our own, and i need to! as well in order to survive and keep fighting.
My journey in Near Protocol isn’t just easy, you need to spell and say the word “Do what you Love”. Butterflies fly and shines through the darkness and my life will change through Near Protocol. As a student, artist and poor will stand still and shine through the darkness.
The Journey to the Other World entry is about the adventures of Krizzy, the main character, in the world of unknown were other creatures and species exist. This resembles my journey in NEAR x PARAS. This platform gave me an opportunity to turn my imaginations into reality. It is like i found perfect place to showcase my love for art having someone appreciate and supports it. Whenever i create and mint art in paras, it is like i am separated in the real world for a while and made me forget all the other stuff.
That is what i want to portray here in this artwork. The concept of happiness, the fantasy stuffs, and really out of this world characters which comes to my mind when i lose my control in doing art.
SWITCH: My Life in Near Protocol is a Filipino comic series (student by day, creator by night but an artist everyday) with 50 pages in vol.1 available nationwide. A certain and simple student loves doing arts ever since she can remember. On a passive day, she receives an invitation from Near Protocol Philippines itself to join in the Paras system. Once discovered it’s about arts [NFTs], she tried taking the risks and the SWITCH begun.
What are the struggles she fought through, and how does the SWITCHING changed her life?
As I venture in NEAR blockchain via PARAS marketplace, I wasn’t aware that I was already creating my own place in NEAR-verse; the Planet Blitzstein. It came from blitZStein, my artist pseudo name. I created a bunch of collections, but only 3 stand out. From this comic cover, I featured three(3) of my favorite collections I made; The Full Armor of God, NiFTy Minks and NEAR Skull Monkey.
The Full AOG signifies my faith, faith that I can surpass every struggle as an NFT artist; emotional, spiritual and physical mutilation. While the NiFTy Minks is the symbol of hope; hope that I can pass on to other people that are in need, which I was able to attain by using this project for charity purpose. And NEAR Skull Monkey, a life changing collection that made my NEAR journey more exciting and challenging. NSM is my pride and honor, the collection that opened a lot of doors of opportunities.
This is my Planet Blitzstein, this is my home in NEAR-verse. And my NEAR journey continues.
A journey to my future which is NEAR

Hello this is xanderpaa.near, this portrait is me
As an artist, stylus is The one who always in my desk, day by day journey, stylus gets to be wear out.
3 Hands in mine are the one’s who build me up on my journey here in Near community
First is God who always love me, family who always there for me to support, and NEAR community who always build up each other’s esteem.
On the other hand time by time, it gets happy time, sometimes discourage like in the drawing,
Me chasing a sales in paras.id promoting some art but nobody sees
However it gets to time that we endure bad times;Example is i’m hodling nears at the same time, [please refer to my drawing]
I’m stressed because I’m have illness and what’s happening on Earth is terrible, Pandemic Era.
I was so bored that I looked for the paras.
I didn’t expect to find something like this on the Internet; I was only aware of the deepweb and dark web at the time.
I also assumed it was scam procedure on the Internet, I was aware in scam.
I started in August 2021, I wasn’t verified at the time, I was just waiting like my co-artists who are now famous, I was just left behind, but we all have the same priority, it’s just that NFT wasn’t mine.
I was informed in September 2021 that the whitelist had been updated.
.
so my life here became easier, I started to imitate what the trend is, what are the top sales subject and what the collectors want,
I make more money here than the commission
Dogge immediately came to my mind, so that’s I choose her became my subject,
I also like to make self -made illustration, own concept case but its not trend.
Here comes the month with no sales, I wants to give up in case I think if I don’t do it
I WILL JUST BE A MUSHROOM
I don’t want to be like that all the time.
The Monkey Era where monkeys roamed the marketplace of course I make my own monkey.
Here I also stopped for 3 months because of graduating studies so I need to focus on the dream first
I know I can wait for Paras but I can’t wait for graduation
I came back 2022 here thinking of selling collections
Dogge entered, and here the Hiro Shiba Collection was formed.
I want to make up for the time I lost I want to continue my journey here.

my journey started when I got curious about NFTs. looking for some information about it and how to ‘get in’ when suddenly a silver shiny knight called ( DMed me ) and introduced me the NEAR PROTOCOL…and that is all folks. XD
Mommy in the morning, Employee in the evening, and Artist after work!
My journey in Near is very Challenging sometimes stressful but fulfilling that’s Why my Entry in this Challenge Represents my Daily journey, and I put myself as the subject because I’m telling my story through this art
even doing this Challenge is quite hard, because of work I only have time to do this after duty which is past midnight. but still I’m happy that I finished this before the deadline. I’m so happy to be part of Near Protocol and I hope that my Journey will be more colorful as time goes by
I’m really Thankful to Ms. Jhoii/Ms.Ligaya for helping me always.
Hello! This is my entry for Week 5 to 6 Comic Cover. It really excites me to think of flying through the sky like a bird. As a pilot, I’ll be able to fly above the white clouds and travel around the world with different people. This is my first time entering this contest, and I made this art because it’s my dream, my dream is to be an aviator and be known around the world, like aviation, NFT is so vast that I think I’ll learn a lot about it, make a lot of friends, and discover new things.
Good Day pipz!
I hope you’re all doing well, this is my entry for this week task/challenge as an artist in protocol blockchain. My collection helps me alot to support my daily needs. To my fellow artists I’m very much grateful for all your support, because the money i earned from Paras, used it to sell biko and suman to add on my income. Im looking forward to my future that someday i would be able to achieve my goals in life and to be a successful businessman and artist as well. Thank you for this Opportunity that you all given to me to improve/enhance my skills and passion as an artist. I really appreciate it, and I love what I’m doing. Thank you!
Here’s my entry for this art challenge.
My piece showcases how Near Protocol open a door for self-taught artist like me. Near Protocol gave me an opportunity to share my passion for creativity not only in my country but also worldwide. My piece is entitled “Melonade” because it represents my pen name as an artist and how I earn money here in Near Protocol.
that’s Why my Entry in this Challenge Represents my Daily journey, and I put myself as the subject because I’m telling my story through this art
