It's probably a safe bet that this AI artist was also a NFT artist or procurer a few years ago.

In 2021 I made a sound installation project called "Opéra Spatial " and entered a bunch of public prompt in mid-jouney via discord to generate images for the work. This guy made his image on year later.
