I'm Lawrence, a 76-year-old creator who has made his living exclusively as a fine artist since 1979. I live and work in Tucson, Arizona. My "organically grown" 7.0 website is https://lawrenceleeart.com, soon to be reimagined in 7.1. After a long and successful career as a painter exploring shamanistic imagery, I am now focusing entirely on abstract landscapes.
In NFT circles, I'm better known as NotoriousGangOfOne, a 2019 OG. I worked with Matt Kane to create the industry-standard 10% commission on resales, which resulted in millions of dollars of payouts to digital artists worldwide.
I wrote and illustrated the first children's book created on a computer in color (8-bit, no anti-aliasing, Pre-Photoshop version 1!). (Published by Harbinger House 1989). No one knew how to get the art out of the Mac II and into print! I've seen a lot of changes in art, art marketing, and the internet. I retired to a Caribbean island in 2000 but returned to the States and have been painting again since 2014.
