373 - What Artists Need To Know About NFTs: A Conversation with Bonnie Brooks

Send us a text New trends, techniques, and technology have always had an effect on how art is created. We’ve gone from painting on the walls of caves to painting the ceilings of cathedrals. From canvas and oils to all-digital masterpieces. Progress marches on, and art marches right along with it. On this episode of the Thriving Christian Artist podcast, my guest, Bonnie Brooks, going to tell us all about a new avenue for creating and selling art we have available to us here and now - NFTs. You’ve probably heard of NFTs (we did another podcast on NFTs earlier this year - check it out!). You may have a vague notion of them being related to cryptocurrency. You may have heard the term “blockchain.” You may have seen a bunch of weird cartoon monkeys that people claim are worth millions. If it all seems too “out there” for you, or seems like something that’s just for people who are younger or more tech-savvy than you, don’t worry. Just listen to my conversation with Bonnie, and you’ll have a much better understanding of just what’s going on with this new opportunity for today’s artists. You’ll also learn how she and other like-minded folks are carving out a space in the Metaverse for Christian Artists like us. (Don’t know what a “Metaverse'' is? Listen to this podcast!) And be sure to check out Bonnie’s website and socials for more on her art, her mission, and her NFTs. https://www.brooksgallery.com/ ==================== When you’re ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣ Join Us in November - Every artist was created by God to create with Him to both experience and release His Light and Life through their creative expression.
