New Series: NFT Fridays

A collaboration between artist/programmer team Hannah Cole (of Sunlight Tax) and Aubrey Holland (who also happen to be married)

Hello everyone, today we’re restarting our series of posts on NFTs for artists and creators. We have big plans, but what we’re kicking off today is a series of Instagram posts we’re calling NFT Fridays as well as a newsletter you can join to get more detailed guides as we chart our journey from NFT beginners to creating and marketing our own series of NFTs. At the end of that journey you’ll be armed with enough information to decide if NFTs make sense for you, have all the tools you need to get started with them, and even have a free NFT from the collection we’re creating. If you’d like to join, click the link at the end or the one right here.

Before you ask, we’re well aware that you may have concerns about NFTs, and our first few posts will cover them in detail. If you have specific concerns, drop them in the comments and we’ll be sure to address them. Our belief is that there’s enough good here for many artists to benefit from, and that with a few resources we can bring more art to a world crowded with hype, noise, and ape avatars. This is going to be an interactive journey, so please let us know what’s on your mind and share this with your friends. Have a great weekend!

We are starting a special NFT blog for these posts. We’ll link it through the Sunlight Tax blog, so you can easily find it. But you can also bookmark it directly here.

(The first image above is a Fidenza by @tylerxhobbs, which recently sold for $3.3 million after being minted on the @artblocks_io platform last June. The artist receives 5% of all secondary sales from the series, which have totaled over $150 million to date. The second image is a Chromie Squiggle, also originally sold on @artblocks_io and created by its founder Erick AKA Snowfro. These are both examples of generative art, which are automatically created by software, but not all NFT projects require technical knowledge)
