"Kucing, my art mentor"
I met Kucing through web3, but he didn’t feel like just another name in a chat. He became my art mentor in a space that moves fast and rarely slows down to teach. He’s the kind of person who can look at your work and immediately find the core idea you’re trying to express, even when you’re still unsure how to shape it. His feedback is calm, clear, and specific. He doesn’t overwhelm you with opinions, he gives you direction. When I’m stuck, he helps me break the problem into simple steps. When I’m overthinking, he brings me back to the fundamentals. And when I’m improving, he notices the progress and pushes me to go further without burning out. What I respect most is the way he teaches without ego. He makes space for questions, for mistakes, and for growth. Because of him, I started seeing art in web3 differently, not as noise or quick visuals, but as storytelling with intention. Working with Kucing reminded me that real mentorship is not about controlling your style, it’s about helping you find it.
