NFT ARTIST AND ENTREPRENEUR

WITH 2022 ringing in the NEW ABUNDANT brilliant year! The year where all our dreams will come true, I can't help but remember and contemplate - 2021 was that the "year of promise" I once had a Psychic tell me it would be, my year, the year of "fruitation" the year all my hard work would pay off - that is "unless I saw cherry blossoms."

Well..., then yeah of course, I saw A TON OF CHERRY BLOSSOMS' in 2021.

But that doesn't mean it was all bad. It was a journey of new and exciting experiences some of which might have caused a bit of trauma LOL but some of which created glorious peaks of which I had never experienced. I found Love, I found health and I found this strange thing called an NFT. Now the NFT is not connected to the Love or the health necessarily, but it is a new thing non the less and it did involve some very new emotions. Let's review and discuss...

I started my Journey into NFT's last year by creating the 1st NFT Novel on the Blockchain titled "Mermaid Eclipse" I created the cover art, the movie asset and the NFT NFT Market Will Get its First Novel Release (yahoo.com) next I worked on and created the animatic & the NFT for the 1st Full Screenplay on the Blockchain. Brood X Feature Film Project - Movie production/screenplays/films | OpenSea I had one Photographic image minted by a grant, from Sevens Genesis Grant, also connected and I believe helped curated by Beeple and one of my Art Video Pieces was picked by @ParisHilton for her "Empowered Women Empowering Women NFT exhibit with Sevens Genesis Grant. Sevens Foundation (grants.art)

Having had a few experiences, I would like to connect and continue to update my NFT experiences as I grow as an NFT artist and I want to share those experiences, answer questions, provide resources, interview other artists, investors and those that work in the legal field in regard to smart contracts and this new environment.

If you are interested then let's connect, subscribe to my Newsletter. The goal is to grow and develop a community that revolves around resources for the Artist and the Entrepreneur, or anyone interested in the NFT community. If you would like to know more about my personal NFT experience or just grow with me as I continue to learn.

If you have any of these questions...

What are NFT's? What is a smart contract? What is a DAO and how do they work together? What is this new ecosystem? How do you market NFT's? What are the legalities? I have questions myself and that is why I want to start this newsletter to not only answer my own questions but to help those that are curious.

I would like to hear from those interested and also those working in this new ecosystem.

In this upcoming "era of smart contracts" what does it all mean for the Artist? I might sound like a newbie or maybe I sound like I am speaking a foreign language and you have never even heard of an NFT - IDK

Either way, I have a background in the entertainment industry working for Disney Feature Animation Studios, where I worked at a Training Specialist for the "Disney Academy" and worked on such films as "Bolt" and "Princess and the Frog." I also worked at various studios in Game /TV and VFX and in Education. I was the Director of Media (Animation, VFX, Game, as well as Film/ Photography & Programming) for several LA Art schools. Currently I own my own brand and I create content for clients ranging from Product and Brand Development to Production of Motion Graphics, Animation, Fine Art & NFT projects.

I also write occasionally for the Entertainment Industry, and you can check out more of my writing here for a previous client. For more of my background and credentials you can check my LinkedIn profile.

Looking forward into 2022 AND OUR NEW NFT ADVENTURE together!
