Rare Digital Art Avengers

New times call for new heroes. Thankfully, the Rare Digital Art Avengers have arrived. Protecting the art-loving cryptocurrency universe from confusing technical jargon, these valiant servants of blockchain righteousness never back down from a noble fight! Whether it be dismantling dangerous acronyms that repulse newcomers or educating the masses on why art on the blockchain is so cool, the Rare Digital Art Avengers work with inspiring vigilance. Join Captain Non-Fungible, Doctor Memetics, Baron Von BitCrystal, and more heroes as they leave behind a collectible trail of souvenirs for their endearing supporters to enjoy and read about in a business-friendly manner. 

This artwork will be available soon on the Grand pixEOS Art Gallery. As a premier destination for collecting rare digital art on the EOS blockchain, a high degree of my comics and art will be appearing there. They have a fantastic community and I am so grateful to be a part of it.

If you like searching for hidden treasures and nuggets of coolness in your arts and comics, then this piece of rare digital art is right up your blockchain boulevard. It's one of those digital paintings that has paintings within the painting and comics within the comic. As you might imagine, it took longer than usual to finish the artwork but I believe it was worth it. All my years making Silly Daddy Comics and watching old Columbo detective shows have prepared me quite well for this task.

In fact, I would even bet that--for at least one other person--it holds extra-valuable keys to opportunity. That's because this art is part of the EOS Treasure Hunt, which is a contest to find free cryptocurrency. An EOS account, thesecretkey, has been funded with EOS and other tokens. The private key (or password) to this account has been spread in clues across dozens of various platforms so that only the most diligent detective will win the treasure. Happy hunting.

How to Become a Crypto Artist

It started as a simple black and white ink drawing on this ancient flat stuff called paper. Then what began as a quick sketch from life of my son (drawn in typical Silly Daddy Comic style) was revised and meticulously ran through a number of space-age computers. So now this creation has become a full color educational piece of rare digital art, showing the world the secrets of blockchain success. Viewers of this fine artwork can now discover exactly how anyone--with hardly any skills whatsoever--can become one of them fancy new crypto artists!

Indeed, you too can be a blockchain rock star! You know you want that.

Along with many other of my designs, you can find this very limited edition crypto collectible on the SuperRare market for rare digital art! I have sold a very good amount of crypto art on SuperRare and since these are one of kind editions of art, I really try to make sure I put top-notch designs here.

Zooming in on at least three different areas of this canvas, you should be hit with a few pleasant surprises. There are mini bonus scenes in the background that people familiar with the rare digital art and crypto space will get an extra kick out of viewing. Please let me know which one is your favorite mini bonus background scene, as I enjoy making them. Perhaps I will make more in future pieces of art.

Also in all seriousness, I have written a number of introductory crypto art articles. These firsthand art business reports actually do help a person learn more about the industry. They serve as guides in how to get started in this exciting new corner of the art world, full of short, as well as long crypto art market analysis.

I also conduct public speaking presentations on crypto art, which I enjoy doing. In fact I am delivering a talk on opportunities for artists on the blockchain very soon at the University of Southern California for some graduate students. Perhaps we should call it Crypto Art College? While that is not (yet) the actual title of the event, I am looking forward to showing attendees how the cryptocurrencies of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Counterparty, BitCrystals, EOS, pixEOS and Steem can be used to leverage more exposure, community, as well as sales in the art market. This event is part of a business-of-art series for USC students and it is also open to the public!

A Crypto Unicorn Is Born

Bitcoin + Unicorns + Crypto Comics = Instant Fun

For those not familiar with Southern California, I present a typical scene of our culture. Notice the colorful yet untamed creatures scheming for market domination. Marvel at the entrepreneurial ingenuity of these beautiful, sun-baked minds. Among the breathtaking backdrop of the rolling hills, catch that wild start-up spirit of boldness and natural ingenuity... or not.

But seriously, this crypto-art comic strip pokes fun at some of the sillier things going on in the never-boring cryptocurrency space. Consider this rare digital art as the lighter side of bitcoin and initial coin offerings (ICOs). If you are not sure what cryptocurrency or ICOs are, think bitcoin mutations gone wild--some are good, some are not. And if you are still not sure what any of that means, you should remain able to chuckle at the colorful wonders of Unicorn Coin!

You can buy this rare digital art on MakersPlace using Ethereum or a Credit Card. It is issued in a limited edition of only 10 copies.

My ultra-talented wife, Denise Chiappetta colored portions of this comic, and it just goes to show how much of a great colorist she is. Of course, I am happily married to this dear woman, so I might be slightly biased. She is actually good at whatever she puts her mind to do. Over the years she has colored hundreds of my comics excellently.

Parody of a Crypto Logo:

While this cartoon strip is obviously a parody, I do believe that having a solid logo plays a tiny part in whether or not a cryptocurrency will grow and achieve mass adoption. It must be a psychological thing, especially because all cryptos are digital; there is little tangibility so everything needs an image to gravitate towards. Consider all the various logos that stay in our minds throughout our lifetime; they must be communicating something on a subconscious level.

As for Unicorn Coin... well, communicating a few laughs is about all that it has in its favor. For the extra-curious art historians, readers can also see an early black and white version of this artwork in print on the pages of my giant-sized comic book, Silly Daddy Forever!

More Cryptocurrency Comics Needed:

I do understand that a number of my long-time Silly Daddy readers might remain perplexed at the concept of cryptocurrency and crypto-collectibles. Indeed, for many folks, this is strange, heavy, exciting, weird, and a little scary. It brings up a lot of strong emotion in people. To capitalize on these opportunities, and help people process these lightning-fast financial changes, more comics about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, ICO drama, government regulations, and blockchain technology would go a long way in helping the rest of the population know the full scope of groundbreaking (as well as heartbreaking) things happening in the art-on-the-blockchain space.

To answer that call, I do hope you enjoy my funny comic strip view into this ever-growing economic paradigm shift. The monetary system is changing literally under our noses, and therefore we might as well have a few good laughs about it through the mighty medium of comics. While we educate ourselves about new dreams, nightmares, and other dramatics coming true in altcoin adventures, let's also laugh at the days to come with some comics. Cue up the crypto-cartoon unicorns.
