This POAP is to commemorate episode 40 of the Web 3 Artist Spotlight, which was broadcast live via Twitter and YouTube on Friday, August 18th, 2023. In this episode, hosts Jancarlo (@jancarlo316) and Jenifer (@Jeni_Pepen), interviewed Gabe Weis (@GabrielJWeis). Gabe Weis is an internationally collected and loved mixed media artist. He describes his art as a Cubist stream of consciousness. The Art by Gabe Weis collection on OpenSea is to this very day studied by people in the Web 3 space and considered to be one of best examples of fine art nft collections ever created. He is  the founder of the Stoics NFT, the Frens Collection, as well as a cross chain collection called Conscious Lines available on Avax. Gabe is based in the Bay Area where he paints his incredible works of art, however his impact is felt everywhere. He is one of the greatest community builders the space has ever seen. Many have jokingly heard the term that all roads lead to Gabe Weis as he is in fact responsible for introducing countless fellow artist and collectors to the world of Web 3. He has truly been a friend and advisor to many of the artist that we know and love today. On this space we learned more about his story, collections, community building, advice for artists, passions and upcoming plans.
