E11 Originalplan® — Bottomless Collaborations, Maintaining High Standards, and Challenging Distinctions Between Art & Design
Pixels & PaintEpisode Description
"[Originalplan® is] not a brand, and it never will be a brand. It’s an idea, a way of looking at art and design and not separating the two." — Originalplan®
About Originalplan®
Originalplan® (@origamiplan), also known as OP by friends and associates, is a multidisciplinary digital artist and designer who splits his time between Budapest and Mexico City.
His innovative work combines street art and collectible culture with cutting-edge digital creativity as an OG in the web3 art space and one of the earliest creators on MakersPlace.
OP's digital art includes the creation of Bearbrick dailies, a process he has been engaged in for nearly three years — though he creates daily, he only mints the work he deems up to par. He is also known for his significant collaborations, one of the biggest being “All Your Bases Are Belong to Us,” where he and 25 other artists took over every major NFT platform for a 24-hour period.
OP’s work also extends to the fashion and music industry with a deep affinity for hip-hop music and fashion — most notably his admiration for Virgil Abloh and Nigo. These influences have played a crucial role in shaping his creative direction, particularly his affinity for Tokyo street style.
