Fans Are Demanding Trump’s Fourth NFT Collection

Trump attributed the demand for the fourth to his fans, saying they are eager for him to release another collection. He expressed delight with the enthusiastic response, describing it as a remarkable display of spirit.

Furthermore, the former U.S. president disclosed that almost all of the sales from his previous NFT collections were made in crypto. This experience gave him a new appreciation for digital currencies’ potential.

Trump Positioning US at the Fore of Crypto Advancement

As a result, he expressed his desire for the United States to take a leading role indeveloping the cryptocurrency industry. He likened the industry to a young child, still in its early stages, and emphasized the significance of the U.S. staying ahead of the curve.

Trump warned that if the U.S. fails to take forward-thinking actions, China will likely become a dominant player in the industry.

Furthermore, Trump noted the shift in attitude towards cryptocurrency among banking executives, specifically mentioningJamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan. Trump observed that Dimon, previously outspoken in his criticism of crypto, has recently softened his stance.

Seven months ago, Dimon hadtestifiedbefore a Senate hearing that the “only” legitimate use case for crypto was for criminal activities and tax evasion, even going so far as to suggest that the government should shut it down.

Meanwhile, despite Dimon’s vocal opposition to crypto, JPMorgan has its own native cryptocurrency, JPM Coin. BlackRock’s Larry Fink also recentlyadmitted that he was wrong during his days of Bitcoin criticism, calling the asset digital gold and a legitimate financial instrument.

Trump’s latest hint about the coming of his fourth NFT collection comes as the crypto industry increasingly throws its support behind his reelection campaign.

Trump’s campaignendorsed cryptodonations in May. Data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) revealed that Trump’s election campaign raised approximately $331 million last quarter, of which around $3 million came from cryptocurrency donations.

In a further indication of his growing affinity for crypto, Trump yesterdayannounced his choice for running mate: pro-Bitcoin Senator J.D. Vance.

Genesis
José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.

The Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition. To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”. Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull. The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background. The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).
