On this episode, Steph sits down with street and contemporary artist Tom Gerrard to kick off a special series - within our Art NFT Insights series -aimed explicitly at street artists, diving deep into the opportunities available in the NFT space and practical information on how street artists can get into it.
Today, we start at the beginning: Translating Street Art to NFTs.
If you've listened to a few episodes of this podcast, you've no doubt heard artists talk about how they've repurposed photos, paintings or digital artworks to start their venture in the NFT world. This is exactly what Tom did, and as soon as he found quick success, he was straight onto his friends to share just how simple that process actually was.
Tom talks today about why he thinks street art translates so well into NFTs, particularly illegal works, and what existing assets most artists already have on hand to take the first step.
