Daniel Friedman is a researcher in entomology and a self-taught artist who created Cards #24–#26 in the Curio Cards collection. His hand-drawn abstract patterns brought traditional physical art to one of the earliest digital collectible projects on the Ethereum blockchain. Card #26, Education, is the rarest card in the entire collection with a supply of only 111.
Friedman applied to the Curio Cards project through a Google Form that the founders had set up to recruit artists. In an Adventures in NFTs interview, he recalled the beginning as "shrouded in forgetfulness" — he did not remember exactly how he found the form, only that he filled it out thinking "I like art, I like crypto, and this is a natural overlap."
Daniel Friedman painted/illustrated the following Curio Cards — see the artist landing page for the grouped browse view.
