NFT Market

Robert from Spreydon

Hey,

There`s a new market for digital artists which has opened up. A quick explainer.

Instead of selling the print, artists (like Banksy) sell the jpg file, which acts like a stock. So, you can buy and sell the “stock” (jpg file) or hold it as an investment through the market . So, I am doing a series on New Zealand birds which are about to go on the NFT (Non-Fungible-Token) art market via www.opensea.io...

This is my first piece. The buyer will receive the jpg file, and the A4 print, signed (one only). So heads up neighbours....if you`re interested this print will be sold for $250.00, signed by me, and it will be registered and minted in the market, which provides you with ongoing provenance for the artwork. Any questions let me know. Interested? Investors of course support the artist, but also create an investment vehicle for themselves. One that will grow and grow as the market develops. Any questions, let me know.

Your support is appreciated. Thanks.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
