NFT Opportunities for Creatives
Are you the type of person to run toward change or run away from it?
The rate of communication, technology, social communities, and platforms are rapidly changing every day.
It’s easy to feel behind or stuck in your old way of doing things, as change can be scary and overwhelming.
At the same time, not expanding your horizons to new opportunities because you don’t understand them can leave you in the past feeling bitter and defeated.
There’s no one way to be successful as a creative, but damn—there are tons of new ways to build your brand, tell your story, and reach a new world with your creativity.
That’s why I’d like to introduce you to this new and exciting space of NFT’s (aka Non-Fungible Tokens).
We live in a digital world, and it makes sense that the traditional art world of creating and collecting would carry over into this realm.
It’s a space I’ve been studying all year, and I’ve witnessed artists I love and respect find massive success experimenting within it.
Today’s guest, Artist/Illustrator Bert of Musketon, is one of those artists I’ve been watching. In this episode, I wanted to bring him in to share his experience so we can get ahead of what’s to come.
Through Bert’s insane attention to detail, his witty/comic relief approach to global/difficult topics, and usage of dynamic color palettes, texture, and depth…
All of this combined has helped him amass a large following with big reach on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and YouTube.
Creating consistently and building communities through these platforms has helped him explode onto the NFT art scene this year.
In today’s episode we talk shop on:
Rooting your work in play.
The power of building your brand.
The new wave of NFTs…how they benefit creators, how to get started, learning curves, as well as opposing views of this space.
And so much more...
My goal is to educate you and provide hope for new opportunities in a digital collection realm focused on creators. (That way you can jump on early and get a piece of the pie.)
