Brendan Murphy Conquers The NFT World With His Art

We have all heard about NFTs these days. Maybe you have a cousin that buys NBA NFTs or maybe you have a friend that is always pestering you about investing into bitcoin. Digital currencies and tokens are simply a part of everyday life. But what if an artist decided to create NFT’s of his artwork and sell them as collectibles? Would that idea work? Well for Brendan Murphy it did. The guy just sold nearly $15.5 worth of digital artwork. Amazing.

 

Do you want to know what Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, Larry Ellison, Larry Page, and Warren Buffet all have in common? They all collect the artwork of Brendan Murphy, a world-renowned artist who spends his time between Miami, Malibu, and the Hamptons and who has shot to fame in the art world. His most iconic works are the Boonji Spaceman sculptures, which are absolutely stunning sculptures of a man dressed in a spacesuit holding a Michael Jackson pose.

 

The former Wall Street trader turned artist is at the forefront of the art world today and has now earned the title of selling the largest NFT primary sale in history. This is the first time a traditional artist has sold their work in a digital format to collectors, and to do so with such spectacular success, which by the way sold out in 3 hours of being for sale.

 

Celebrity support for the art sale included Novak Djokovic, John Stamos, Didier Drogba, Andre Iguodala, Grigor Dimitrov, Thurman Thomas, Jon Najarian and Joe Desena among others. Brendan says, “I am humbled to be part of this wild and unexpected ride into the metaverse,” said artist Brendan Murphy. “One of the most exciting parts of this journey has been the incredible support for the Boonji Project and seeing the Boonji community grow. The creative energy has been incredibly inspiring and rewarding.”

 

And it’s only the beginning.

 

For an artist like Brendan to create this kind of a sale in the art world is historic. Hopefully, this will catch on in the art world, and if it does it will owe a big thank you to Brendan Murphy. The template is now set for a whole new way for artists to sell to their collectors and to create another avenue of income for serious artists who make their living creating art, and the world can never have enough ways to support artists.

 

Bring on the NFT’s into the art world! Let digital art soar! And a big congratulations to Brendan Murphy.
