🎨 ART x $WHALE Interview — Artist Legendary

Legendary is an Austrian artist. His background is in fine art photography. Over the time, he has turned to creating rare digital art. In his work he tries to overcome the dichotomy of these two worlds and build a bridge across them.

Justin “Dunna” McDonough is a photographer, videographer, and Juno nominated music producer based in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. Since starting his YouTube channel, “Dunna Did It”, in 2017, he has published over 260 videos and amassed over 171,000 subscribers. Dunna loves to create, learn, and share his knowledge with others. After 10+ years of working as a music producer and recording engineer, he picked up a camera and felt a jolt of energy.
