Why NFTs?
Although much of my work is produced in physical mediums to create paintings and drawings, I also frequently use digital media to construct images.
The consideration of how to display and disseminate such works; whether to retain them in the digital realm or produce reproductions in the form of some type of print has been at the forefront of my mind. Considering that much of the visual art we consume nowadays is via the means of digital reproduction as opposed to interacting with the physical object it seemed to make sense that these digital works be considered as “the work” and not a stepping stone to a plastic outcome.
For this reason I decided to market the digitally produced work as NFT art pieces. The first major collection offered for sale being the Zodiac collection, illustrations depicting the 12 Western star signs, which are available to purchase through opensea.io at this address: https://opensea.io/collection/zodiacpfps
