Cartoonists and Comic artists in the NFT-space

Is this a sustainable market? What do you think of so many famous artists risking their reputations by buying into a potential fad?

If they're likable enough their fanbase will just make excuses for them. Oney and Psychicpebbles tried doing NFTs last year and they didn't really face any backlash.

Because of COVID.

Well they did it early on before it got as controversial as it is now and then they stopped mentioning it completely after they had already reaped the rewards. Smart move honestly, NFTs are stupid but free money and they were able to take advantage of it and the retards who buy them without ruining their reps.

>risking their reputations
most of the idiots doing these NFT's are known grifters, they're just continuing the trend of being shitheels
penders doing NFT's is one of the least surprising things I've ever read

It just shows that they were brainless tools all along. Judging by most celeb and big name posts about that shit I have seen so far they have no fucking idea what nft even are, they are just human-turned ads.

Don’t they know NFTs create pollution

I find it hilarious, all those years of people bitching about eastern artists making porn and how it's so "undignified" or whatever other bullshit now have to sit back and watch while their "dignified" idols all try to hop aboard the NFT train because being just being a professional artist doesn't fucking pay the bills.

What about the cartoonists with crappy reputations?

I'm surprised Butch Hartman hasn't made some yet

If you draw porn you at least care about a series so I agree.
These people don't and it's part for why the comic industry is fucked. If more western artists and writers cared enough about "their" comics to make fanart, reblog fanart or make secret porn account maybe comics would have more soul too.

>I'm surprised Butch Hartman hasn't made some yet
Man, not THIS is genuinely surprising.
Actually, this is so surprising I can only assume he is either dead, living under a rock or too dumb to even make a nft.

You’d think all the artists, companies, and games that have gotten backlash for doing NFTs would be enough to dissuade other creators, but it feels like everyday a new celebrity announces they’ve bought a Bored Ape or are selling an NFT.

what's the lore behind this guy

NFT purported to confer ownership of artificially scarce digital collectables, but I have not yet seen any added benefit of merely adding cryptographic technology to the attribution that isn't covered by existing legal framework or financial instruments, but the lack of a regulatory environment makes it rampant for social engineered fraud, money laundering and ponzi schemes. additionally, do people not learned from the speculative craze of "rare" comic books? Or was 20 years too much time for something that hasn't pass out of people's living memories? am i just too old to consider digital goods to have intrinsic value?

Zach and Cusack have deleted all mention of their NFT project, but Chris's is still up and running IIRC. But then again Chris has never hid the fact he's a sell out.

Because the 'celebrity' isn't buying them. You go to Justin Beiber and ask him what an NFT is and he'll have zero clue, despite him spending $1 million on one. It's their agents, PR firms and other Yes Men doing it on their behalf because it's all being orchestrated behind the scenes, to the celebs it's just another product to shill like a new flavour of Coke.

So wait, can he legally do whatever he wants with "green knuckles"?

It's easy money. They get to make their art, call it a NFT and suckers will buy it.

If there is one thing I have learned about companies and most publishers and IP owners it's that they never use the internet and have therefore no idea who their own fans are, what they want and how the internet works. Chances are very high that none of them is even aware of the backlash and firmly believing nft were the new hot shit every cool kid and responsible adult was into like fucking pokemon go in 2016.

Anything that perpetuates or encourages the NFT phenomenon just pushes us closer to a world where things we take for granted now are monetised and are sacrificed in the name of profit.

>additionally, do people not learned from the speculative craze of "rare" comic books?
Exactly what I was reminded of earlier today when I was thinking about the artificial value and "scarcity".
