✨ @Ukraine_DAO Contributor
✨incredibly talented designer
✨author of the now famous rendition of the 🇺🇦 trident that you may have seen in @DefenceU videos about HIMARS & on @cryptodrftng's forearm
Proud to have him with us! https://t.co/qieDjJc40H
I started talking to @viktor_grudakov because I loved his trident design and wanted to have it tattooed.
We immediately had the most Ukrainian argument ever 😹👇
🇺🇦 in a nutshell:

Me: hello I'd like to use your artwork for personal purposes, can I please have your permission and payment details to pay you for using your intellectual property?
Ukrainian artist: you can use it but you're from @Ukraine_DAO, just use it for free
*struggle*
✨Even though Viktor never accepted any compensation from me (I comfort myself with a thought that I'm a walking advert of his art 😹), my amazing friend @shundikd found a beautiful way to thank him 💓
.@viktor_grudakov let me use his art for @Ukraine_DAO and for the tattoo I got on the forearm a few weeks ago.

Хотілося виготовити монограму ЗСУ у вигляді тризубця, яку створив Віктор Грудаков з того самого моменту, як її побачили. Віктор одним з перших погодився взяти участь у нашій ініціативі з листівками в Etsy https://t.co/F15E7JsTnu

Day 1 with my favourite tattoo 💝
I love it very much and in Ukraine it has served me a couple times instead of an ID 😂
Left my house for the first time since the invasion today 🙃

The trident is the Coat of Arms & emblem of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The British Counter Terrorism Policing unit used to have it next to III Reich symbols on the extremist guide 😂 www.ukrinform.net: Britain removes Ukrainian trident from counter-extremism manual
@kmets79 @viktor_grudakov It's Ukraine's national emblem - which is a trident but also looks like a combination of letters comprising the word "Воля" which in Ukrainian means "freedom/willpower"❤️🇺🇦 https://t.co/BdF1EF7SHr https://t.co/xYUshOk2LH
