NFTs BabsBilliArt why creating NFTs

All my NFTs have been stolen from me!

 The question may be why I have decided to create NFTs and not just stayed with painting and photography. 

Back in New Zealand, I was painting a lot with water-soluble oils on canvas. I loved it but soon it became a problem with space. Oil paintings take a very long time to dry and of course, sales were not just happening because I created so many paintings. Even so, I actually sold many paintings, I was running out of space in my home. I began to feel a bit claustrophobic. The battle was to place paintings that needed to dry somewhere safe from all my cats and dogs. Yes of course my cats always wanted to sit on a wet new piece of art. 


The result of my cat on a wet painting, the peeling of some paint. The other hard part of being an artist of oil paintings was travelling to many exhibitions, and ending up not selling a piece. hard work to be an artist.

Galleries who did not want to promote a first-time artist and so on. I ended up giving it all up. But you know I loved the experience and I made photos of all my paintings and I am proud of what I achieved. I got the opportunity for an article in a magazine, and one of my paintings was chosen for a corporate calendar, not bad for a nobody like me.


So one day the idea came to me that I would really love to bring together my paintings and photography, and what could I create with these two elements. And the NFTs were born. The fun of designing with my colourful paintings and my photography has opened a new world for me and it is an exciting journey, I love it and I hope this will show through my NFTs and you will love them too.
