# NFT Generative Art

Super stoked to officially create my first generative art using Python.

Previously I only used python in Jupyter for simple data calculations and graphing so I had to update my python version and install a few modules (Pillow) using node.js and homebrew.

### This is what I did!

I took these three backgrounds

And I layered my old 2D logo over top of the backgrounds.

the Python Script ran and boom created 3 images.

This is the tutorial I used and the code template I started with.

### What’s next?

Pretty cool to think I could make my own nft artwork now and then create a smart contract to turn these art NFTs into utility nfts. Sky is the limit!
