In recent weeks I’ve had one of my portfolio pieces ‘minted’ by someone or whatever the phrase is so people are going round and effectively stealing art to place on these scam sites. I then started to do more research which was backed up by an article by a young artist who opened the lid on the environmental damage which he showed that in 10 seconds 6 of his crypto artworks used more electricity than his whole studio did in 2 years. I’ve been watching the NFT nonsense for a while, it started out with artists basically getting tips for their work which I thought was cool. This is what he now considers great lighting And guess what? They have to “sustain” the system with re-tweets and likes in order to get noticed (how sleazy) Just saw Chad Ashley is now a part of this. So, yes, thanks Maxon for praising this mafia system, and for what? only because it’s a free ad for you? As if those readers who learn about beeple-crap would give a damn about what software he used. For the rest, those designers who can’t afford to waste money and are falling for this trap willing to invest with the hope to get rich will just lose money. It works if you have a lot of followers and some money to bet. One more thing: this whole NFT thing is a scam. The record-breaking $69 million sale won’t change much, outside of high-roller groupthink. Washington Post – 16 Mar 21 Perspective | Beeple’s digital ‘artwork’ sold for more than any painting by. If you don’t even understand the difference do your homework. The easy answer for the lazy, cowards people is “this is my Art, who are you to criticize?” Because someone can put a 3d pre-built rigged model, a skull, and some 3d flowers together and render them with some horrible colors it doesn’t mean that’s art. I studied art all my life and seeing gross, disgusting stuff like the one from beeple-crap, and from all the other “I’m in so deep need of money” whining spoiled kids around passed as “art” it breaks my heart beyond imagination.
But this is truly off, on every, possible, level. I’ve never been aggressive on this forum, I always respect other’s people thinking. If you don’t know the difference start studying. I’m sorry to break it to you people: we’re designers, animators, not artists. That’s the other thing that I find disgusting about this crypto-crap.
OK, so you all think this is fine and it’s all about Art. I’m for anything that puts the artist at an advantage and gets the people that have more money then they know what to do with it, to put that money in the artist’s pocket.
