Also known as futurist and Artist Matthew Timpanelli.
The universe's smallest friendly alien.
Here is the artistic journey I’ve been taking, especially in the past few years.
Hi, I am psy-sci, the universe’s smallest alien. I have always felt like an outsider on this planet.
I began my artistic journey with music. I began playing paino and picked up a guitar when I was a teenager. I joined a band in highschool and began creating graphics for it as well as friend's bands. Music was such a big part of my life and my creative foundation. It inspired and continues to inspire me to design, produce, and build things I never would have without that spark. Psysci has a discography on discogs.
I joined an online artist community on a filesharing application and collaborated with artists around the world, performed with them, and produced many albums and art projects. Most significantly as a co-founder of a netlabel that released compilation albums and other content from the community called Soulseek Records.
I was in an advanced art class in junior high that gave me the confidence in myself to consider myself a visual artist. I saw drawing as an extension of my way to communicate with others my ideas and it produced many flyers, album covers, logos, and other graphics associated with my musical endeavors. I continued to pursue my fine art skills into college and eventually my career. I became a creative director for SLSK Records and started to do freelance graphic design and web design. I would later work on advertising campaigns as a digital and experience designer for most of the top advertising agencies.
I had been making different pixel alien versions of my acquaintances along the way. I was in a Toy Tokyo show where I was able to bring my pixels to reality when I painted three versions of a design I did for my friend who loved cats. This was an amazing show with some of NYC’s emerging artists in the vinyl figure space.
I always had a dream to write and illustrate my own book. So, in 2019 I began this journey by participating in a @comicbookschool challenge to write an 8pg comic for an anthology. I went on to help organize and produce the anthology as well as work with two amazing artists Carlos Trigo for the cover art and superpapersam for the artwork of the comic.
I was hired to wrie entertainment articlews by a small online publisher call Spoiler Magazine who covered various comic con events and releases a comic book on ABLAZE which is currently distributed on Veve.
I founded studio avant as a digital art studio and small shop capable of producing various products and services from gaming experiences, branding, research, and content creation.
A project called Survivor Alien began in 2002 as a pfp (profile picture). Psy-Sci made the base character his brand and developed a generative art collection before it was cool.
I got the call(email) from the DC NFTs I scored and joined the Bat Cowl project. To help me practice my illustration I decided to draw Batman a day. #abatmanadaykeepsthejokeratbay It evolved into being a commentary on the experience of being a cowl holder and nft fan.
