My first NFT collection is minted, listed and ready to buy https://opensea.io/collection/trash-flavoured-trash
When I was a photojournalist, the hardest thing was always keeping track of royalties and who was using your images for what. I once had to call Orange Amps because an intern had taken an image of one of their endorsed artists from my site and was using it on their campaign page without permission. Instead of paying - they took the page down. That's not what I wanted, I just wanted credit for the use of my work for their sales.
I've been watching the NFT art market evolve over the last year with some intrigue. Whilst there's the crazy stories relating to the bloatware of cryptocurrency and false economy it does work on the principles of blockchain that I liked from the get go - it creates the ability to show an origin of an object and how it travels around.
NFT means there is an opportunity for people to get paid in the art world, and I'm jumping in.
I've gone through my old drives and resurrected what I could from the Trash Flavoured Trash = Trash Flavoured Trash street portraits series I worked on for a number of years, was featured on BBC News and across multiple national newspapers in the UK.
The exhibition won a few accolades at the Brighton Fringe Festival and it is prime for the #Metaverse.
