Two weeks ago, after Daft Punk, the French music duo, announced their split, Nigerian artist Niyi Okeowo created a digital painting of the group and posted it on his Twitter page.
That painting has now been sold for 1 ETH (~$1,900) – on Rarible.
According to data from Cryptoart.io, over 100,000 digital artworks have been sold since April 2018 for a combined art value of 133,143.699 ETH (~$219 million).
Okeowo’s sale happened while I was on a call with him and Jibola Lawal, Senior Strategist at Lisabi Technologies.
The call was to talk about how digital creators can take advantage of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on the blockchain.
