My not so fun journey into NFT’s
Primarily, I’m drawn to NFTs as a way to showcase my work and establish clear ownership, and platforms like Foundation feel like the best fit for that.
But once I put the “NFT bat signal” up, it turned into a crash course—fast. Selling in person or working with real-world buyers is usually straightforward. Online has been… interesting, to say the least. I hate to admit it, but learning how scammers operate has felt like a rite of passage. In just the first two weeks I’ve run into it from every angle:
- someone asking for “gas fees” (I only lost $50, but still),
- people impersonating galleries and claiming they want to buy entire collections,
- “digital galleries” offering to mint my work into an unknown space,
- Discord accounts posing as OpenSea reps for “large purchases,”
- random WhatsApp numbers pretending to be international galleries reaching out to buy work.
It’s been a lot.
Even so, I’m still determined to understand this space and do it the right way. My goal has always been to get as much art into the world as possible—and to connect with collectors, because hearing what people see in the work is one of my favorite parts of being an artist.
So here’s where I’ve landed: I mint exclusively on Foundation, and that’s where my NFT work will stay. no matter how many tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars you wave in my face. It keeps things clear, helps deter scams, and I genuinely love the minimal presentation and layout—it feels like me.
If you’re interested in collecting one of my NFTs, Foundation is the only official way I do it.
