Christopher Chapman
Head of Web3 at Mythos Studios

This was the whetstone where he honed a fluency in both http and color.
Since then he’s developed award-winning works for a passel of deeply diverse organizations ranging from Universal Pictures and Hasbro to Hewlett-Packard and Motorola to Ore-Ida and ConAgra to Disney and DiC Entertainment. However, in 2017, the lure of Web3 proved heady enough to drag him out of the physical workshops of Walt Disney Imagineering and into the digitally scarce world of NFTs.
Prior to joining Mythos Studios, Chris spent time wending his way through the metaverse, helping to craft Top-50 NFT projects such as The Sandbox, Decentraland, and CyberBrokers, now all successfully launched and burbling happily along in his wake.
