head over to https://www.searcherstudioart.com/ to view the accompanying blog, listen to more interviews, or submit your own response to the upcoming episode. what i love about the nft space is that it makes art from unknown, unrepresented artists, accessible. here we have this new revenue stream that previously was only owned by the elite…it’s a great place to expand your reach - <a href="https://twitter.com/manuW_atx" rel="nofollow">manu</a>for artists coming in, this is just another avenue to showcase your work. this is just another lane. don’t look at it as the primary way of being successful. be true to yourself and don’t try to follow trends. - <a href="https://twitter.com/gerrymelendez" rel="nofollow">gerry</a>the community of people is absolutely incredible. i have never met so many kind and genuine people as i have on twitter and the people that are part of the nft space. people in this space genuinely do want to help each other and see one another succeed. - <a href="https://twitter.com/QueeniverseNFT" rel="nofollow">queeniverse</a>it’s the community that i found of like-minded artists, who are interested in the same thing that i am, and we’re all learning and growing together. i am being more creative and growing more as an artist than i ever have. - <a href="https://twitter.com/amli_art" rel="nofollow">amliart</a>[to newcomers, i’d say] do a bit of research. stay true to who you are. and form a team of like-minded artists that will help you thru your nft run. the folks i met thru the journey is what helped me navigate and sell. - <a href="https://twitter.com/BernardBeckford" rel="nofollow">bernard</a>[to me] nfts are a platform in which by artists can showcase their work to a larger audience. i feel like nfts are bridging the gap between contemporary art gallery and the real world, and now the metaverse…it’s another avenue which would help artists. - <a href="https://twitter.com/Dejidcreator" rel="nofollow">dejidcreator</a>i believe everyone who works in an institutionalized position should look into utilizing the technology for creating automated, errorless workflow thru smart contract execution. i see nfts becoming the medium in which value transfer can occur whitin both monetary and creative systems. - <a href="https://twitter.com/homerreadjr" rel="nofollow">homer</a>i believe nfts are the spearhead of the greatest artistic renaissance since the renaissance. we are currently experiencing a total fusion of different media types and formats. for me, it’s a fantastic artistic playground. - <a href="https://twitter.com/GraphicalPoet" rel="nofollow">graphical poet</a>
