At the beginning of August we had Onchain Summer, an online event to launch the Base blockchain, which created daily NFT mints. One of the things that struck us most during this event was the fact that the vast majority of NFT drops were at very low values, and were minted in huge volumes, thanks to the event's media. An excellent example is the New Era, a piece created in partnership between Cozomo de' Medici and DeeKay Motion, which has been minted more than 45,000 times in its et...

Manifold recently launched an integration with Crossmint, which allows the sale of NFTs with payment by credit card. It's a very welcome integration, as it makes selling NFTs much easier and helps onboard new collectors to the NFT universe. Yesterday we managed to do our first integration, on our work 'My Flying Soul', which can now also be purchased via credit card. This is the one: https://opensea.io/assets/0xb8cB440e3CB4aCd152C9C6dDdB091E5E2E6CF863/3 You can mint an edition ...

Essa pergunta permeou boa parte do início do nosso ano. Ok, nós produzimos e vendemos NFT, e aplicamos boa parte da nossa renda vinda das vendas destes NFTs colecionando outros NFTs e aplicando em eth e bitcoin. Mas é isso? Isso é estar realmente na web3? Já temos estudado o mundo web3, cripto e descentralização há algum tempo. É um tema que nos provoca e desafia. E já tínhamos a nossa resposta às perguntas acima: com certeza não, para ambas! O mundo monetário descentralizado proposto com o n...

'Body Soul Image' is the name of our new collection of NFTs launched at Solana this past week (04/01/2023). It is a collection that took a little over 2 years to launch. The photos were made in 2020, with a wonderful and super expressive model - Talita - in a luxury hotel in the city of São Paulo (Brazil). We had a photo shoot proposal ready, and part of it involved photos of Talita looking at herself in a mirror that covered an entire wall of the room. During the photos, Talita&apo...

How web3 is changing the market for nude and sensual photography worldwide.There is no way to talk about the present and the future without remembering the past. We are from 1974, and as teenagers we lived the phase when we used to buy magazines like Playboy and Hustler at newsstands, and collect them. I (Oliver), when I became an adult owned a large collection of nude magazines, including some autographed by the models. At that time and for the following years the nude editorial market exper...

NFT São Paulo é um movimento profundo, de artistas para artistas, e que tem o estado de São Paulo como berço, e os artistas (e a arte) brasileira como alma. Começou com um sonho compartilhado entre nós, Oliver e Shirley (@reiniscouple), que foi crescendo, e atingiu diversos corações, a começar por 300 (trezentos) artistas talentosíssimos que expuseram tanto no metaverso, quanto IRL. Escolhemos a capital do estado para realizar a primeira exposição física. E na capital, o Museu da Imigração, p...

JTC, as far as we know, is the only international code to identify Bauru, the city where we live since 2018. It is the IATA code identifying the Bauru Arealva airport. And for those who don't know, IATA stands for International Air Transport Association, which is an international entity that adopted a 3-letter code system, to identify the airports in operation in the world. Bauru is a city in the Midwest of São Paulo state that had its history greatly influenced by Brazilian railways - b...

Na verdade a NFTSP nasceu em janeiro, em uma conversa na varanda de casa, em que eu e a Shirley estávamos discutindo sobre os eventos de NFT que estavam acontecendo mundo afora, pós pandemia. O embrião inicial foi uma pergunta: Por que não fazemos o mesmo no Brasil? De lá para cá muita coisa aconteceu, a NFTSP saiu do papel, conseguiu patrocinadores maravilhosos e apoiadores sensacionais, e hoje faz parte de uma comunidade incrível de artistas brasileiros. Duas exposições virtuais já estão no...
