Imagine living in a world when literally every day there’s amazing new art created. Day after day, people are exposed to the creativity of artists around the world. Imagine that everybody can view the new art being created–and buy a stake in it, own it in the form of an NFT.
That world is our world. That time is now. It’s the Virtual Renaissance.
And, if you haven’t been paying attention, you should. When history books are written looking back at this period, (besides the COVID pandemic), they will discuss the evolution of the Internet into Web3, and the accompanying Virtual Renaissance it ushered in.
This is the world I want to be a part of and help to create.
The FOMO MOFO collection was the No. 1 NFT collection in sales in the past 24 hours, according to NFT Stats.
Jasper got emotional thanking people for their support for artists:
Wow, fam! @Amy_fomie here. Trying to steal the spotlight, but we wanted to thank you all. @mrjasperwong got choked up during his speech, but we want to thank all our family, friends, the team, supporters, and the community! We love you all! pic.twitter.com/J0RJTXOs7x
I don't know why, but these two FOMO MOFOs make me giddy. This vampire has some serious drip and the pirate is looking really shiny (too shiny), especially with that bald head of his. We're coming closer to a mint date, so I'm going to save some surprises. pic.twitter.com/b5rU5g5auT
According to his website, Jasper Wong is “a man who wears many hats and best known for his art that is a unique clash of Asian-influenced pop culture on paper. Jasper has exhibited worldwide, in places such as Japan, California, France, London, Mexico, New York, Hong Kong, Chicago, and Australia.”
“Jasper Wong is also the founder of a gallery in Hong Kong called ABOVE SECOND. In its existence, both Monocle magazine and CNN have chosen it as one of the best galleries in the city.”
“He is the creator and lead director of POW! WOW!, which is a non-profit organization of contemporary artists committed to community enrichment through the creation of art outreach programs, educational programs and engaging the community in the creation and appreciation of art. The festival has done projects in 13 cities around the globe, such as Honolulu, Taipei, Tokyo, Nepal, Guam, Seoul, Israel, and others.”
“Jasper co-founded a community art center called LANA LANE STUDIOS. It is a repurposed industrial warehouse that has been transformed into progressive 2D/3D creative workspace and center for teaching and learning. It is a place where creative output flourishes, interacts with and inspires the community.”
