Three years ago Jon, Ronna, and Rudy came up with this idea for a story they wanted to turn into a graphic novel and eventually a TV show, called “Robert The Electrician.” But, due to big life events, the story was put on hold. Now, the team is revitalizing it via NFTs.

The Electrician NFT project is a set amount of randomly generated NFTs that will fund the development and publication of a graphic novel, with a long-term goal of taking The Electrician to the big screen. John, Eric, Ike, and Dave will create the script. Then, Rudie and the art team will turn the script into a graphic novel before publishing it, and offering it to the world. After that, The Electrician will be pitched as a show, and put onto TV!

The team includes the Art Director of Mandalorian and the Avatar Franchise, the creative team from Central Intelligence, and Eric who was a writer/producer for Always Sunny in Philadelphia, along with a few other really talented folks.

Artists around the world are turning to NFTs and blockchain technology to make a living selling their art, with that, many NFT artists are curious to know how to report their sales on their taxes. Thankfully, we had the chance to sit down with Alex, who’s an NFT CPA to discuss this exact topic.

As an NFT artist, all NFTs that you create and then sell are taxed as ordinary income. Just like creating and selling a piece of art in the real world, NFT art isn’t taxed much differently. Additionally, NFT artists are eligible to receive various tax deductions for their supplies, events, and even certain gas fees.

In response to Russia’s invasion, the Ukraine region saw unprecedented levels of economic sanctions, choking up the financial institutions. As a result, the question of how the public could provide financial aid to those in desperate need was left open.

NFT community builder, Andrew Wang, woke up to the atrocities unfolding in Ukraine. Terrified and shocked, soon turning into conviction and resolve, Wang was determined to take action in the best way he knew how — by bringing people together.

Ultimately, Wang joined together with other NFT leaders and 37 NFT artists to create RELI3F — a Web3 initiative providing global humanitarian aid and ended up raising over $1 million for Ukraine in 30 seconds, via NFT sales.

Aida Sancho, otherwise known as Fat Baby, is a non-binary NFT artist with several projects under her belt. Projects include FatBaby, Cool Kidz NFT, Clever Girls NFT, and her most recent project, Raptor City Rascals.

Fat Baby got started creating cardboard cutouts of her characters in an attempt to sell her creations on Instagram. Eventually, she noticed the immense amount of opportunity in the NFT space. That’s when Aida decided to launch her own NFT collection called Fat Baby.

She became good friends with other projects in the NFT space and ended up collaborating with The Vogu Collective to create a special edition Fat Baby NFT that sold for a whopping 26 ETH!

This was just the beginning for Fat Baby, as she went on to create several other projects, investing even more time and resources into each project. Fat Baby’s most recent NFT project is the Raptor City Rascals which launched on December 10th, 2021, and is still minting at raptorcity.io.

With such dedication to the NFT space and all of her projects, we believe Fat Baby is an artist that everyone should be made aware of.

Nyla Hayes is the artist behind Long Neckie Ladies, the first female-led PFP project (released the same day as World of Women). By any measure, 2021 was a massive year for the young artist. Hayes made history in 2021 as TIME Magazine’s 1st NFT Artist in Residence and has been featured on CNN, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, Investing.com, Black Enterprise, AfroTech, and several other channels.

Nyla began her artistic journey at the young age of four years old, before turning to digital art around nine. She went on to leverage this natural artistic ability by creating an immensely successful generative NFT project. The long-neck style, which has come to be Nyla’s signature, originated nearly four years ago. “When I was younger, I liked the brontosaurus dinosaur. I like how pretty, long and elegant their necks were. I thought women were the same way, so I thought I’d put the two together,” said Nyla.

Recently, Nyla was announced as one of the artists on the VeeCon lineup, joining an unbelievably impressive roster of artists, musicians, and speakers set to grace what is set to be one of the largest events in NFT history.

Gavin Meeler grew up outside of Atlanta, Georgia, and has been “all about art” since he was in elementary school. Gavin took three art classes in one semester of high school because a teacher spotted his interest and pushed him to do more of it.Meeler also sold his first art piece just after high school, a 16" x 20" print for $800.

Despite a life-long passion for art and selling his first piece right out of high school, he had to overcome multiple hurdles to be able to produce art full-time.After looking up anything to do to make an extra $100 online, he saw something about NFTs. It was confusing at first.

Gavin didn’t understand the multiple platforms and went deep on learning how an artist could put up their work for sale using NFTs on various platforms. His first ever NFT collector eventually included him in an event with XCopy and Beeple, and GaryVee ended up buying two of his pieces. Gavin also said that his goal is to get his art on platforms like Super Rare or Nifty Gateway, and he hopes that his art will eventually make it to a famous auction house like Christie’s or Sotheby’s.

Listen to this conversation hosted by ONE37pm’s Nick Anderson, where they dive deep into Meeler’s past, where he draws inspiration, and how art has shaped him into the person that he is today.
