I’m happy to report that my lifelong dream to earn income from selling my original art is nearing manifestation. Now that the digital era of tokenized art has arrived, anyone can place their original art on the blockchain for sale as a NFT (non-fungible token). These are date stamped and can thus not be forged, plagiarized or stolen since the timestamp on the open transparent decentralized ledger, or blockchain, gives them proof of origin and authenticity. Art has come a long way in the digital era.

As an amateur, self-taught artist, I use old school collage, with paper and glue, as my medium of creative expression. This cut-and-paste technique looks quite Boomerish in the modern digital era of the Millenials today, but I am bridging the gap, since I’m not a Boomer or a Millennial, but something in between – GenX. Thus my art aims to use the old school style of hand created collage, but then bring that into digital format and tokenize each art piece on the blockchain as a NFT.

Here today in this blog post, I am taking one more step closer to the NFT Showroom by presenting my newly digitalized art works simply as a portfolio. So far I have 8 pieces – or is it pieces of 8? Well they are now digital treasures, each one worth a tidy sum. Especially since I plan to sell them for cryptocurrency, not old school fiat money. And by selling them for crypto, and then that crypto rising in value, I aim to earn substantial profit from my work.

The dream comes true, but it’s up to you. Not just the buyer and collector of fine art, but also the gallery curators, the NFT Showroom hosts. Guys, take a look at my portfolio here and let me know if you are keen to display my work in your showroom. I would be really appreciative, since it will be the second last step in achieving my long dreamed of vision of being an artist who sells his work for profit.

If this second last step is achieved, and you accept my work on the NFT Showroom, then it only leaves the last step of the buyer actually investing their crypto and buying my artworks. That last step is up to fate and the eye of the beholder of course, and I’m not attached. Merely making it to the gallery, to the exhibition walls of the showroom, will feel like a mission accomplished. Particularly in this avante garde and revolutionary NFT format.

I plan to make some one-off limited edition pieces, only one of a kind for sale. And I will also do an occasional run of 5 prints of an original, to sell on the blockchain, for a lesser price of course. In this way one can really appreciate the concept of blockchain technology as not merely a ledger to transact in currency payments and finance, but also as a platform to exhibit artworks and actually tokenize and sell them. The world has finally arrived at this juncture. The past has met the future in the present, and we can celebrate it as our long-awaited destiny.

The current 8 art pieces were all created in the last 6 months or so, from cut out paper pictures or photographs from magazines, and glued onto a piece of hard paper, all size A3.5. In other words they are bigger than A4 but smaller than A3. Actually I had over 50 such works that I had created in previous years but they were lost in a historic fire that burnt down my rental house and 1000 other houses in my region in 2017. It’s only now, years later, that I have returned to making any more art. So I really want these to be immortalized on the blockchain, so to speak, lest another fire – or time - destroys the flimsy creations.

If I can get them up and exhibited on show, I will be inspired to make more such collages and add them to my portfolio. The style is surrealist and somewhat mystical or dreamscape, purely spontaneous to begin with, depending on what catches my eye on the day of the creation itself. Each piece is thus a window into my consciousness at that moment. I will le you know if and when nftshowroom.com accept my request to exhibit, and then you can check out my sell offers for these NFTs or tradeable tokens - bits of art as currency.
