Johnny Depp is selling 11,111 NFTs of his own original artwork

Johnny Depp is selling over 10,000 unique NFTs drawn from his paintings of friends and personal heroes.

The actor is releasing the non-fungible tokens — one-of-a-kind, verifiable digital assets traded using blockchain technology — under the collection name “Never Fear Truth.”

The portraits, developed from original artwork by Depp and then embellished and animated, include Johnny himself, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Hunter S. Thompson, Heath Ledger, daughter Lily-Rose Depp, Tim Burton, Johnny’s late dog Mooh and a fictional character created by his son called Bunnyman.

Depp, 58, said in a statement, “I’ve always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends and people I admire. My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves.”

Depp’s style is a mix of pop and street art, with images of pop-culture figures rendered in vibrant colors.The collection is the first public look at his paintings, which are said to be reflections of the individual’s character as Depp sees it.

Twenty-five percent of all proceeds from the sales will be donated to charities including the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundationand The Gonzo Trust, created in the memory of Depp’s hero Hunter S. Thompson.

Purchasing a “Never Fear Truth” NFT will grant owners access to Johnny’s exclusive community on Discord, a community platform for fans to collaborate on creative projects.

Depp added, “We decided to release a series of portraits, but in a way that could also give something back. Having the opportunity to salute my supporters and support the charities that have been so important to my family is an incredible gift. I hope we can create a new community of friends around these NFTs. My involvement in the NFT space has just begun.”

Ten thousand NFTs can be purchased viawww.neverfeartruth.com—with applications opening Wednesday — and secondary sales supported by leading multi-chain NFT marketplacewww.rarible.com. Each NFT is also backed by a high-resolution physical edition which can be redeemed only once.

Of the further 1,111 NFTs, the majority will be held by Depp, who will be donating them to fans and his favorite charities.

Destroyed Elation Tablet
Description: The cracks kept forming due to the tablet resting in one place too long and now the tablet has been destroyed. All warmth has gone from the tablet and it is now worthless. It's become apparent that the time is shorter the less Tablets there are in existence!
Christmas Sleigh
First Christmas-themed Visual Toy. For this work the artist has created a fantastic sleigh, ornamented in detail and with all the Christmas spirit that transports us to childhood, illusion, innocence. With its gift wrapping machinery, its Santa, a snow globe, the nutcracker, the European-style village and its soundtrack (first time with music) it is a whole Christmas mosaic for the imagination.
