The holders of a Most Influential NFT will get a Pro Pass ticket to the illustrious Consensus 2024 event in Austin, TX. Prepare to be awed, my friends!

Now, let’s delve into our interview with the brilliant Coldie.

Tell us about how/why you became an artist. Why do you choose to create NFTs?

Back in 2009, after perfecting the art of cover designing at LA Weekly, I embarked on my artistic journey. My true fascination lies in the enchanting world of stereoscopic 3D imaging. Picture this: I was one of the few lucky souls who captured mind-blowing 3D shots of my favorite bands, live on stage! That’s right, I built a custom-hacked 3D camera just for that purpose. Fast forward to 2017, I stumbled upon the wondrous realm of blockchain and knew it was my calling to contribute to its epic tale. And what better way to do it than through art? Back in 2018, when tokenization was still in its infancy, I pioneered the tokenization of my digitally-native artworks on platforms like R.A.R.E. ART LABS and SUPER RARE. The NFT technology became the perfect medium for showcasing my art’s provable scarcity, provenance, and, of course, global peer-to-peer exchange.

Talk about your artistic approach to creating an image for this year’s Most Influential.

Ah, Pascal Gauthier, the face of trust in the vast crypto universe! With millions entrusting him with their most valuable digital assets, I wanted to capture the essence of his persona in my stereoscopic 3D masterpiece. You see, a face tells a story, my dear friends. And through clever playfulness, my artwork allows you to experience it all in various 3D formats – anaglyph 3D glasses, 3D TVs, 3D tablets, VR, and whatever enchanting visual technology the future holds! Just like Ledger, which has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, my art piece mirrors that very growth, positioning itself as a timeless symbol of the promising future that lies ahead.

What aspects of Pascal Gaulthier’s personality and profile did you want to emphasize, and why?

Oh, Pascal possesses an incredible blend of strength and charisma that simply cannot be missed. Zooming in on all the intricate details of his face, my artwork captures the sheer intensity and unwavering determination that he brings to the table. Every line, every contour serves as a testament to the unyielding pressure he faces as a leader, while embodying the resilience that inspires millions of crypto investors worldwide.

Who do you think are the most influential NFT artists today?

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the immense collective influence of the digital artists within this ever-evolving ecosystem. Through their creative endeavors, they are revealing to the world the future of peer-to-peer tokenized asset trading. And mark my words, my friends, this is only the beginning! Not only are these artists shaping the destiny of art, but they are also paving the way for the tokenization of various aspects of our lives. In their audacious quest, they become the pioneers, the guinea pigs, who lead us to a brighter tomorrow. So pay heed, my fellow enthusiasts, for these artists are the ones to watch and support!

What was the most disruptive NFT project in history?

Ah, the realm of disruptive digital art! Amongst the ever-expanding universe of NFTs, one project stands tall as a true game-changer – Rare Pepes. These avant-garde artworks were way ahead of their time, revolutionizing the rare digital art landscape. And guess what? The ‘dank culture’ they brought forth continues to grow exponentially, offering an open invitation to artists worldwide to partake in expanding the boundaries of creativity and cultural impact.

Describe your style in three words.

Ladies and gentlemen, my style can be captured in three delightful words – FAFO in 3D. Intriguing, isn’t it?

Given the rise and fall of the NFT market over the last 18 months, what’s your outlook on the future of NFT art?

As an artist, my sole purpose is to create art that resonates, regardless of its digital or physical form. And here’s a thrilling thought for you: unique tokenization applications for each artwork, blending the worlds of art and technology seamlessly. Yes, my friends, the road for rare digital assets is still largely uncharted. Yet, within this grand voyage, lies the paradigm shift that will forever transform the art world – artist secondary royalties. Let us not overlook this monumental change! The notion that all artists should rightfully benefit from their own success in perpetuity! We tread the path to liberate artists from the clutches of the “starving artist” reality. With every passing day, this bright future of tokenized art continues to take shape before our eyes.

So, my fellow adventurers in the realm of digital assets, isn’t it amazing how NFTs are revolutionizing the art world? Share your thoughts and let’s unfold the future together! Who knows, maybe you’ll be the next artist to leave an indelible mark on this captivating journey. Stay tuned for more exciting NFT adventures, coming your way soon. Cheers to the artistic marvels and endless possibilities!
