About the Owner

Eric Valhalla has been creating art his whole life, winning his first award in 1st Grade.  He is a 2021 grant awardee from the New York Foundation for the Arts and his work has been featured in many galleries, including Saatchi Art Online Gallery.  In 2009, he was in an auto accident that left his art hand permanently disabled and began minting his portfolio on the blockchain as an artistic outlet.  This led to him becoming prominent as a blockchain developer and has participated in many blockchain developer hackathons.  He began creating and collecting many Web 3 assets, focusing on Original Art 1/1 NFTs rather than the generative collections that have rug pulled so many.  He's created several original collections, including Valhalla 100 and MetaPets, has collected over 300 original artist NFTs from around the world, trying to focus on diversity, nearly 100 Web3 domains, and minted his own custom ERC20 token, TimeCoin, which will be used as the governance token for Valhalla DAO, which grants voting and curation rights to all artists selected to appear in these galleries.

The goal of Valhalla Meta, LLC as a Corporation, Web3 Content Creator, Collector, Artist, Investor, Patron, and Lover of the Arts is to educate people on the overwhelming positives that blockchain technology has on the arts.  Beneath all of the hype and media attention surrounding generative collections created by computers, there are thousands of emerging artists from all parts of the world, beautifully diverse in culture, class, sex, religion, etc, using Web3 blockchain technology to share their Original Art with patrons in a way never seen before in human history.  This "New Renaissance" is one of the most important in the history of the arts.  Our intent is to empower the artists that we have collected by bringing more exposure to their work, more traffic to their sites, more sales, as well as membership into the Artist Coalition and Valhalla DAO.  This DAO grants each Artist curation and voting rights for future exhibitions, and it's token cannot be bought.  It can only be obtained by having your work displayed in the collection, and is free to our Artists.  ValhallaMeta.io takes 0% from helping to facilitate any sale, and never will.  We will also never sell advertisements or collect users info.  We will accept Patron Donations, Grants, and once the Premium Gallery is voted on by the DAO, we will charge a small membership fee to Patrons wanting Premium Access.  The proceeds from those funds will be used to both help maintain the Gallery as well as continue to purchase art to add to our Gallery as well as more Artists to our DAO and Artists Coalition.
