# How it started

One year after me a computer called Pravetz 8m was born. About 10 years later this computer was so old that somebody throwed one away and my father brought it at home together  with a set of books about microcomputers and BASIC programing language.

Next day I made my first generative artwork \:D&#x20;

Actually I did not made it, I just copied it line by line from the book and all it did was printing a  pixelated pear line by line, but it got me! I started changing the lines consisting of mostly PRINT commands, learned to add some loops and if statements, glitched the fuck out of that pear and it was fun!

# A thousands hobbies

Next year I was making geometric animations in Pascal by drawing lines and dots and few moments later - drawing over them with the same functions, but in black color. Made my own variants of all the the basic games like Snake, Space ship arcade, Angry Birds like game shooting a projectile with parabolas trajectories, a Pong (first game ever created) variant. Coding, reading, creating, I never thought, that I would call myself an artist, but then came the Stage.&#x20;

Dancing, acrobatics, circus arts and fire arts caught me by storm. The stage was my love and became the reason to leave university just before I finish my computer science bachelor degree.&#x20;

# Queen Tez and visual art!

I guess art was about to stay around! I found the love of my life. She is known in the space as @tz2LT8wYwqTVxSNZNJA2dEst8nqPWRBSeXHN. My wife was yet about to become visual arts master and in the process she slowly engraved art in every aspect of my life. For the past 15 years! Walking so close to her art path, while rediscovering my passion for coding made me discoverer my own way of creating.

# Back to the future

Here we are in the right time, at the right place, with the right skillset and passion for creating. Web3 being a catalyst and a fuel of art became a staple in my life. Creating frame animations, digital paintings, directing AI, coding, gamifying are all part of my process united by my desire of exploration and mixing unexpected ingredients like an art alchemist. I hope you enjoyed my short intro and I will let my art finish that friendly "Hi!"

That is just me, Bruta, saying "Hi", as I though it is the proper thing to do before start writing more articles on fx(hash). Here you will find a bit about me, a bit about my story in generative art and in general and a bit about me here and now.

Was a coder once. Left it so I can be art. Left that so I can create art. Now I can be and do everything I want.

10 PRINT "Hello, FXhash!"
