SWITZON S. WIGFALL, III or "SSWIII" (pronounced "S-S-W-3") is an Los Angeles, California based digital artist, graphic designer, vj, upcoming hip-hop producer and animator specializing in 3D motion graphics: creating a variety of digital artwork from custom album covers, short films, concert visuals, VR/AR work to mind-blowing NFT projects built around his love for audio-visuals on the blockchain.
Joining the “everyday” movement in 3d graphics for the year 2014 (being heavily influenced by artists like: Beeple, Ash Thorp and GMUNK to name a few) the pictures "Everydays" or “One-a-days” are all done from start to finish every single day. He had a brief hiatus doing everydays in mid-2020 but bounced back strong at the end of the year and has been consistent ever since. The purpose of his everyday project is to simply “get better” creatively making a large versatile collection of artwork as a 3d-artist, designer, and motion graphic designer.
He is currently on his seventh round of Everydays passing the 2222 day mark milestone so far.
Experimenting with lots of new and challenging styles and techniques: leading to many happy accidents (if he's lucky) is the heart of his process.
He has also released a series of Creative Commons live visuals that have been used by electronic dance and hip-hop musical acts such as Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Kaytranada, Open Mike Eagle and many more. Since 2015 he started VJ-ing and added his recorded practices in VDMX (nowadays with experimental sampling and beat making) to his Youtube channel and Twitch live streams, which eventually earned him a golden opportunity to perform his visuals live as a VJ for some musical acts at Moogfest 2016. He now runs and curates his own shows: BEATS JUST BECAUSE and PSA based in Long Beach, CA. He has also performed his visuals live as a VJ for Kaytranada, DJ Nu-Mark as well as custom streaming loops for big clients such as Tik-Tok, Facebook, Kraken, Foundation and many more.

After freelancing for awhile during the year 2009, he realized that his thirst for experimenting and challenging himself to make digital art and animations with different styles, techniques and concepts was sort of like playing with a rubik's cube: twisting and turning the blocks, taking him in newer directions to find a good match. This same kind of technique was how he looked at art, design and motion graphics: figuring out the solution to a great design to communicate effectively and aesthetically as a problem solver. In 2010, he founded and copyrighted his own personal brand of the Rubik's cube, making it his personal brand.
Just to "learn" and "simply get better" as a graphic designer/animator he started this project back in 2012 (fell off a few times, did some soul searching for his career as an artist, fled the US to the Himalaya mountains and lived with monks for one year and came back ready for a creative war). He got serious in 2014 and finally created a new piece of 3d art consecutively everyday for 365 days straight going into his 2nd round of everydays (this year of 2015).
