Handmade Beaded art by Carter Watkins

NFT #1

I'm genuinely excited to be able to take part in this NFT craze that everyone has been talking about. Professionally I’ve been kinda bored and lonely this past year- just waiting for the pandemic to blow over. Anyway, hearing that there’s a crazy new crypto--digital-art-trend that allows artists to sell directly to *their* audience/fans/collectors is awesome. I’m also pumped that this job that i’ve been doing for the past ten years is causing some commotion in the national conversation (at the moment)

I’ve never owned a crypto-buck. But I hear that they can be turned into a physical-buck!

About the piece. (1,280 X 1,280px) This is an original work of art. The color palette and inner-design are based off of the bead pattern on “covid-19 deer 2020”- a beaded deer skull I made last year. The geometric pattern is composed of 81,920 2mm circles- the same dimensions as the seed beads that I use in real life. It is a vector illustration and can be scaled infinitely without distorting the resolution of the art.
