For me, it's ALL about the art and love. 1000% I love supporting unknown emerging artists. The connection a collector and an artist share is indescribable. It's something magical, out of this world. I only buy paintings that I can admire for the whole eternity.

An NFT isn't art, it's a saleable property attached to art for the sole purpose of profit. Because apparently having a picture with a blockchain attached to it is more valuable than an identical image without, for some weird reason...

nerim Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Been collecting since around 1975, and love vintage photos, especially from movies and tv shows from about 1945 to 1975. Have a nice little collection of original 8x10 glossy b&w stills, mostly from obscure/unknown old sci-fi films. (Haven't been "beautiful" since the 1970s) NFT_QUEEN and Dick Montage 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1415359-good-morning-beautiful-people/#findComment-598712502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
margrave Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I collect generation 1 original Transformers. Also spend far too much at bigbadtoystore.com not so much in jpgs or nfts personally. Sorry.

Without NFT, I would never be able to know about and buy artworks from a Colombian artist, for example, because I would never travel there. Now I actually might go there and meet them. Why? Because of the connection I just spoke. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1415359-good-morning-beautiful-people/#findComment-598712517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know several and they had no problem selling their art long before someone decided to glue a blockchain to a jpeg. Hell, I've even commissioned several custom pieces.

nerim Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I should clarify my previous post, to add that I collect JPEGs as well, of old films and some tv shows (if I can't obtain or afford physical still photos I want, such as 8x10s, etc.). 🤓 eBay is my friend/enemy! 😱 I've only won two auctions there. 🤑 margrave and NFT_QUEEN 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1415359-good-morning-beautiful-people/#findComment-598712617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
