ABOUT TREVOR JONES

Setting out from his homeland of Canada in 1996 with a backpack, Trevor travelled the world, eventually settling in Scotland and enrolling in Leith School of Art, followed by Edinburgh College of Art from which he graduated in 2008 with an MA (Hons) in Fine Art.

Always fascinated by the potential of technology to interact with the traditional art practices of his training, Trevor became interested in cryptocurrency in 2017. This led to several series of paintings that explored crypto themes and depicted the prominent figures of this emerging technology, such as John McAfee, Brian Armstrong, and Vitalik Buterin.

In 2019 Trevor discovered the rapidly-growing world of NFTs. This development unlocked a world of possibilities, and his paintings came to life like never before, incorporating spectacular music and animation. His breakout NFT was The Bitcoin Angel in February 2021, an open edition that smashed sales records. There have also been several NFT collaborative projects with prominent artists, including Collision with the enigmatic Pak, Who is the Creator with Batman comics legend José Delbo, and EthBoy with the brilliant and much-missed Alotta Money. Of note is the collaboration MAN VS MACHINE, in which Trevor painted four portraits of rapper Ice Cube that, were transformed into animated works with tracks specially produced by Ice Cube.

This decade has also seen the Castle Parties, Trevor's events designed to promote community in the world of Web3 and to raise money for cancer charity Maggie's. The first of these was held at Stirling Castle in Scotland in 2022 and the second at Château de Vallery in France the following year. These Castle Parties attracted hundreds of attendees from all over the world and raised over $175,000 for Maggie's.

Trevor is currently working on several exciting art projects, of which CryptoAngels is just one. Sign up to the newsletter to keep up-to-date on future releases.
