17/09/2021 Erotic Art Finds a Home on NFT Platform NaftyArt With Million Dollar Pre-Launch Sale

LOS ANGELESSept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NaftyArt NFT marketplace officially launches on September 16th with Erotic Artists and Adult content creators at last taking centre stage.

Erotic Artists and Adult Content creators have been struggling for some time to get their work prominently featured on mainstream NFT marketplaces. A lot have found their work is removed as it contains nudity or at best they are shadowbanned, with potential buyers unable to see their work. NaftyArt, part of the Nafty ecosystem of Adult focussed platforms is an NFT marketplace specifically geared toward Erotic Art and adult content creators. 

The site has been live since August and artists and creators from around the world have been uploading their NFT's with many already having sold. A sale of just under $1 million USD has been recorded by the artist known on the platform as "Interdit", the French word for forbidden. The anonymous artist who comes from the Middle East has never been able to show his erotic artwork due to its subject matter being regarded as a sin. His 69 card Kama Sutra collection caught the eye of a private buyer who purchased the entire series.

"For years I have been creating my art in secret, to finally get the opportunity to show my work is incredible. Never did I think it would sell so quickly, giving me a life changing amount of money. It really is a dream come true."
Interdit

Interdit is not alone on the platform, with well known Erotic artists like Little Dragon and Lily Hendrickson (aka Amber Chase) listing their works on NaftyArt. Along with your traditional artists, the site also boasts a large collection of Adult Content creators such as Eva Elfie and Tera Patrick minting NFTs as an alternative way of monetizing their content. This way of content monetization was boosted by the recent announcement from fansite Onlyfans regarding their policies on explicit content. Although the decision was subsequently suspended, many adult creators are looking for a more secure way to earn from content, turning away from traditional sites to cryptocurrency and blockchain based technology like Nafty with their ecosystem of platforms and adult token.

"We are proud and excited to have developed an ecosystem of platforms, which, along with the Nafty Token, put the power and earning potential into the hands of the creators. At last they can be justly rewarded without giving away large percentages on fees."
Rob Kemenyfi - CEO Nafty

The benefits to creators are endless, NaftyArt isn't a replacement for fan site income, this is an entirely new revenue stream. NFTs gives the fans and collectors the ability to exclusively own a piece of content with authenticity traceable back to the creator via smart chain contract. With auction bidding available as an option on NaftyArt, the prices can go up and up, creating frenzy bidding from multiple fans. Being on the blockchain means that if the fan decides to sell their purchased piece of content the creator still takes a royalty of the sale price, and this continues for every sale of that piece forever, it's the gift that keeps on giving. The exclusivity of the sale means the fan feels a greater bond with the creator, rather than a fan site where anybody who pays sees the same thing, this exclusive piece can be theirs and theirs alone.

NaftyArt officially launches on September 16th. For comment, pictures, interviews or any further info please contact [email protected]

Continuing the exploration of well known algorithms, this work delves into pixel sorting. The works of several cubists were first averaged with custom averaging software and then sorted with a bespoke pixel sorting algorithm. All tools were written in javascript, for masochistic reasons.
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" is dedicated to the mysterious creation of Bitcoin, and acts as the showcase artwork within Javier ArrĂ©s’ exploratory series "Bitcoin, The Origin". "Who is the creator of Bitcoin?" The artist, ArrĂ©s, explores this question, and the feelings of doubt and mystery that accompany it, through his unique artistic language. An unknown, an enigma. It should be remembered that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym of Bitcoin's author or authors and gives us little insight into its true creator. For this Visual Toy, ArrĂ©s uses the signature claw machine, his famous half-operation, to symbolize our collective ignorance and unconfirmed belief: As soon as it has the stuffed animal within its grasp and appears to have solved the puzzle, the animal escapes again, and again. At present, there are three more public and studied possibilities who are either believed to be the creators of the currency or who directly claim the creation of it. It may be all or none of them, yet these three personalities leave us clues which are an important part of this interesting enigma. For this moment, it will remain unknown... In this artwork, ArrĂ©s elevates the claw machine from the apparatus, to an iconic pop art object serving as an important element to the Bitcoin creation narrative. Action is everywhere, with each movement serving an iconographical or metaphorical purpose related directly to cryptocurrency: Various ups and downs, roller coasters, mining points, robot, coins and more speak to a sense of hope, risk, mystery, randomness and possibility of pay out. Hundreds of manically thought out details make this creation one of the artist’s most complex Visual Toys to date. ------- "Bitcoin, The Origin" is a set of two Visual Toys, titled "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" and "It’s Alive!" which reflect and explore the mystery and enigmas behind the creation of Bitcoin. ArrĂ©s presents these proposals to us in his signature style, full of iconography, fantasy, maniacal animations and a panoply of details (both subtle and overt) which simultaneously fascinate, hypnotize, and narrate this historical milestone through the singular vision of the artist. Through this series, ArrĂ©s freezes a crucial moment of cryptocurrency history, taking a still photo under his vision and turning it into two unique crypto artworks. ---- More info about Javier ArrĂ©s: https://javierarres.com/about.html
