NFT art at last

I've been away from the platform a while, busy with other things. I have wanted to get some art NFTs for a while too. Finally doing both on the same day, posting here again and swapping out out some game cards (for a game I never play) for art instead.

Here's the first piece I bought on NFT Showroom:

I love how the woman at the top has a very strong gaze. It's as if she is very calm and relaxed, but thoroughly ready to protect the woman sitting below her.

The other woman looks tired. She has no energy in her to face anything that might come at her. But she doesn't need to, because she knows the other woman is there to stand for her. She can therefore relax into her own process of healing and rejuvenation, which sometimes requires time spent facing troubling thoughts and emotions.

I've been trying to get my favorite artist to start making NFTs. I feel like it's getting closer! He thanks me each time I suggest something, and today I saw that he made a copy of a write up about NFT art that I shared with him. Progress.

Someone really should start a business of helping artists create and market their work as NFTs.

I was happy to get this one because it is on HIVE blockchain. I was about to buy a $1 piece on ENJIN, only to find that that gas fees were over $30!

I actually also bought a Hashmasks piece yesterday, but I can't see it yet, so to me I haven't really bought anything. Technically though, that was my first art NFT. I'll be able to see it in a couple of weeks.

I also still have some game cards left that haven't sold (one priced at $120 that's very rare). I also started buying NBA cards that are in NFT form. I have just a couple, but will likely get more once new ones are released from the platform. I got mine on the secondary market and that cost more, but allowed me to get exactly what I wanted. (Go Golden State Warriors!)

Those sorts of NFTs are fun and certainly might appreciate in value, but there's something about art that is so much more than just a collectible.

And you?
