So, I have been sitting on some extra money from when my mother passed earlier this year and decided this would be a fun thing to spend it on that I know she'd have loved. So, I went to the site and picked up one of each 45. My plan was to get them professionally framed and hang them in her house, which we rent out now on AirBnB.
I went through the purchase process and after a couple hours I had gotten all of them in my email. I don't know if they're going to be sending larger quality images, but the ones I got were not good enough to print out, they were small and would get grainy quickly when I made them large enough to print (I wanted to print them at 8X10).
I emailed to ask about them and got a reply back that said they will be sending higher quality images in a few weeks, these are the previews that will be registered on the block chain - I'm not sure how that all works if anyone has any ideas.
Overall I'm happy with them. I got another email saying I'm invited to an event at Mar A Lago and they will be in touch about when the dates are and the info.
Did anyone else buy some? Which ones did you get?
EDIT: I just got an email from the graphic designer who made the images, he included all 45 very high res images and said these will print as large as I want them.
I'm so happy!
If I was talented enough I could replicated a Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Basquiat, Monet and whoever else floats your boat. I could do it on the same substrate that the original was done on. I could use the same paints, so on and so on.
This can be done so well that even a master in Morellian Analysis might not be able to tell, this is not true for NFT digital images. At least, if it is I’m not aware of it.
This means that a rare, highly coveted, NFT artistic digital image will be much easier to sell bc providence is much easier to produce. In the art world providence is “almost” everything when it comes to reselling a high value piece of art. I say “almost” bc the black/gray art market thrives on pieces that aren’t suppose to be sold, maybe they were stolen or maybe the IRS is after them and getting providence is difficult bc someone doesn’t want it to be known that they have it. But,, if a buyer is savvy enough and is wealthy enough that what they’re after isn’t about profit, but more about obtaining the unobtainable then they might be fine with buying regardless of providence.
The art market is plagued with forgeries bc there are a lot of very talented artists out there, just not a lot of very talented artist that can produce original works that are desirable to a lot of ppl. And, some of these artist will offer their services to forge a valuable piece. With an NFT you don’t have to worry about this and that gives a lot of ppl peace of mind when they’re getting ready to drop a boat load of money on art that they might have to resell one day.
*there are other benefits, but to me this is a big one.
