Tezumie is an American generative artist, illustrator, and pixel artist who publishes under a pseudonym, chosen partly to protect his privacy while sharing his art. He served in the military and later discovered creative coding through Daniel Shiffman's tutorials. His practice has since moved from abstract compositions toward semi-realistic nature scenes coded from scratch.
A friend who wanted to get into NFTs introduced Tezumie to fxhash and Tezos, where he released a pfp project built on the pure-spider code template — its name, a blend of Tezos and pfp, became his own. He went on to release eight further projects on fxhash before being voted in as an artist on 256Art, where he released Entangled. In 2022 he collaborated with the architect PersonChen on (un)existing, released on fxhash, combining PersonChen's hand-drawn architecture with Tezumie's generative code.
