Digital artists have struggled to sell their work in the past because it can be stolen or duplicated quite easily on the web. There hasn’t been a definitive, decentralized method for identifying an authentic piece from a pirated copy - until now. With the rise of NFTs, digital artists (and really all artists) have never been in control more than they right now. Beeple, 3LAU, etc. have made the world pay attention to their eye-popping 7-figure NFT auctions; as mainstream adoption and acceptance grows, so does the overall opportunity.
Younger generations have grown up buying digital assets in video games, for their avatars, and even digital experiences. NFTs make sense to them and the success of the space so far will drive the rest of society to follow.
Are you tired of commercial work? Commissions? Clients in general? Put an NFT of something that you WANTED to create up for sale and pave your own path to success, independent of clients or corporations.
