EM3 Cycling Apparel
One example from a broader body of cycling apparel graphics and product design developed for EM3.
Earlier drawings, design, photography, moving image and experiments that reveal the visual language from which ParadigmStories later emerged.
ParadigmStories did not begin with digital ownership. Long before minting work on-chain, Tiago Silva was already moving between drawing, graphic design, photography, video and applied visual systems. This archive preserves those earlier chapters without folding them artificially into the later crypto-native body of work.
For roughly a decade Tiago worked in a photography studio, primarily as a videographer and video editor, while also working in photography and design. During that period he co-founded creative businesses built from the ground up, taking responsibility for much of the visual development, design and implementation.
One later branch became EM3 Cycling Apparel. The project grew from an existing creative partnership into a new product company, with Tiago contributing to the visual identity, apparel graphics and product presentation before eventually leaving the project.

Black-and-white cycling photography by Tiago Silva, reflecting the framing, rhythm and sequencing that later carried into the ParadigmStories practice.

The commercial and studio period became part of a longer visual education: composition, production, editing and image systems eventually converged with the hand-drawn practice.
These works and projects are presented as historical context. They are not retroactively described as crypto art or as part of later collections. Their importance is biographical and methodological: they show how image-making, design discipline, editing, physical production and long-form drawing accumulated before ParadigmStories became its current form.
