Dominic LaRiccia (Sporkfineart), has been making art for decades, finely tuning his skills as a professional designer, Illustrator, collagist and painter. And now as a mature fully formed digital artist poised to bring his art to create NFTs. Dominic graduated from Columbus College of Art and Design, with a BFA, and trained under the legendary illustrator CF Payne (everything from Time, Rolling Stone to Mad Magazine).
Dominic LaRiccia; The bitch is on her way
Dominic’s assemblages attempt to transpose the disjointed remnants of media, advertising, and culture into tangible, yet uncertain studies of what it means to be human. These art mashups are made up of remnants of our existence, as an undefined record to be reanalysed and reinterpreted by the viewer.
“As an artist, I’m truly only interested in waking up minds and opening up hearts, in a way that helps people realize that there is something greater and more beautiful than what can be seen on the surface.
I never want to dictate exactly what the audience thinks or feels, I only want to steer.”
Dominic LaRiccia; Darling it’s all in your head
There’s a sub-genre within the NFT community that uses digital collage to make Crypto Art, but few come close to Dominic in making it look so effortless, so sophisticated, and visually alluring.
There are no flukes, these complex juxtapositions expose his deft skills, which are so highly tuned as to make every artwork perfectly composed and of consistent quality.

The history of collage in art is over a century old, but became ‘eternally cool’ as a precursor to Pop Art, when artists such as Sir Eduardo Paolozzi started pasting media cut outs with incredible flair. In the process he created images that still look fresh today, for example a perfect example is “Meet The people”, 1948, in the Tate Collection.

Likewise, Dominic’s digital collages have a timeless quality, some of these originated a decade ago, before NFTs, yet look as if made yesterday, specifically for NFT collectors.
This art evolved organically from Dominic’s imagination and here’s the rub… when most NFT collectors FOMO into NFT projects with 10,000 thoughtless variations, made specifically for a quick cynical buck, they fail to see the obvious. They fail to see that artists put their whole lives into their art.

Today alone, another dozen 10k projects will launch, another 120,000 mass made junk NFTs that are only bought for the quick flip. The flood of cheap knockoff projects cannot do anything but haste the diminishing returns for the lemmings who think the good times will roll on forever.
Dominic LaRiccia is the real deal when it comes to art, he was around decades ago and will be around for decades to come, making his art, with intent and passion, one piece at a time. For as long as humanly possible.
The more you look at his work, the more you discover, and the more rewards you reap.

These NFTs are affordable (for now), the obvious is going to happen, the more people that see his art, the more they will be snapped up, due to authenticity, genuine quality, and rarity. You’re seeing them first, and you’ll have the opportunity to acquire them at their lowest starting price.

Golden rule for collecting NFTs; Buy the artist, buy quality and genuine rarity that’ll give you longevity. These are cool now and will be cool and sought after for years to come.
