Rare Designer — a Venezuelan-born artist, dedicated to drawing from an early age, with 15 years of experience in the field. In 2017, due to a very severe crisis in his country, during a famine, he decided to find ways to use his talent, however, that was until a foreigner decided to offer him an opportunity, but said that the payment would be in bitcoin. With little choice, the young artist accepted the offer, becoming one of the first artists of the Rare Pepe project, calling himself "Pepe Designer". Later, he would be involved in other projects, based on crypto art, becoming a rare designer.
