Looney World NFTs + 1st Art Fair

 


I often forget to post updates here, but that's because most of my updates these days occur over Twitter. Anyhow, it's been an epic 2023 so far:

In March I released my first official series of NFTs called Looney World NFT. This was an interesting experiment and indeed it took long hours, days and weeks to get everything ready. The hardest part was getting the website Metamask logging and furthermore displaying the NFTs on the site. I have to say this was probably the biggest blocker. The actual creation of setup and blockchain handling of the NFTs happened over AutoMinter, a tool a highly recommend if you ever work on your own NFT project. Finally, the social media and community engagement was as always quite rough. I was well aware I was releasing an NFT collection during a massive NFT bear market, but I still had a lot of fun. The Discord channel is still alive, although not very active. The channel has mainly become a way of keeping the community up to date, but not much more unfortunately. I will keep working on the collection, there are a few web updates coming up and I'm planning on releasing exclusive content only for NFT holders. A Looney World NFT Series 2 may be on the horizon, probably for 2024.

On another note, I will be finally exposing and selling my art at an art fair / event called "Pancakes and Booze". This will occur on July 20 in Brooklyn, NY and I am getting ready by setting up prints, books, trading cards and more! I'm really looking forward to my first in person art event :)

Finally, as always I've been uploading new artwork to both Instagram and my website, trying out a few new things and enjoying myself.

Hope you all have a great summer, take care of yourself!
