Don Mupasi aka Visualdon is a self-taught 3D artist whose space-themed visuals have me tripping into a future dimension. Inspired by his interest in NASA and space exploration, Visualdon takes us into new worlds and ways of living in an ever-expanding universe. Whether it’s a road trip to a distant galaxy or walking through the halls of a future civilization in a spacesuit to gaze down on our home planet, I’m struck by how Visualdon takes me to impossible places that exist simultaneously with my reality. He’s reminding me of the vastness that’s all around me, the oceans and elements that make up my physical and energetic forms, and the endless journey we’re all on, the horizon we walk into for lifetimes.
Born in Chatsworth, Zimbabwe, and living in Manchester, UK, since age 12, in high school, Visualdon learned his 3D skills through YouTube tutorials (also my favorite way to learn new things), and he now teaches on his own channel and via Skillshare. He also takes proceeds from his art, which he sells as NFTs as of 2021, and uses them to fund community projects in his hometown of Chatsworth. He also does freelance visuals for major artists, after working as a motion graphic designer for Manchester United FC for three years. His is a pretty inspiring story, which makes his gorgeous outergalactic visuals even more brilliant to behold! Check out some of his recent work below and his NFTs on Crypto.com.
