“Celestial Living” by Daniella Doodles | MakersPlace Blog

South African artist Daniella Attfield (aka Daniella Doodles) uses delicate line art to illustrate the earth’s natural beauty while emphasizing its fragility. For her first official MakersPlace drop, Daniella reimagines the cosmos as a dwelling place for earth’s wildlife in order to inspire the otherworldly awe that humans already should feel for the natural wonder around us. 

While billionaires set their sights — and substantial wallets — on conquering space, Daniella’s delicate neon line art asks us to reconsider such skewed priorities; rather than interstellar frontiers, we should probably set our minds to contemplating and preserving the natural world that we already occupy.

Daniella was born in Johannesburg in 1999 and moved with her family to Cape Town when she was two years old. Since a very young age, she has been interested in and has pursued drawing. Daniella  illustrated a book of poetry titled “A Few Slivers of Light” by Jess Robus. She has done many commission works for top Collectors in the NFT space. In 2021,  Daniella  participated in the Future Art Exhibition Drop on Nifty Gateway in which she contributed two animated drawings. This Drop was a precursor to the Future Art Exhibition held in Sydney Australia.

Daniella discovered crypto art in 2018 and became a full-time crypto artist in 2020, selling to big-name collectors like Moderats, Basileus, Gabusch, Nanimalisimo, Mansamusa, ProfessorNfty, Batsoupyum, JavaJam, Kry Bharat, and Odinseye.

On a dark and quiet night, While the world is deep in sleep.  Two dolphins are wide awake, Through clouds they dive and leap.

The Astral Whale Shark

The clock has just struck midnight, And a whale shark is swimming near The clouds dark green as seaweed And through stars bright and clear.
