Cristiano Ronaldo launches his new NFT collection!

Ronaldo’s previous collection had already garnered significant interest, and this new series promises to captivate even more NFT and football enthusiasts.

Each NFT in this new Cristiano collection is designed to celebrate iconic moments from Ronaldo’s career, offering collectors an immersive and exclusive experience.

A launch amidst a judicial crisis

However, not everything is rosy in Ronaldo’s NFT world. In December 2023, he was hit bya $1 billion class-action lawsuit in the United States, accusing him of promoting unregistered securities via Binance.

The plaintiffs allege that Ronaldo misled numerous investors, enticing them to purchase NFTs that turned out to be risky investments. This case has plunged the world of football and crypto into financial turmoil, raising questions about the responsibility of celebrities in promoting digital assets.

Moreover, Ronaldo’s current location in Saudi Arabia complicates the judicial process. The plaintiffs have faced difficulties in officially serving Ronaldo, even suggesting alternative means like email or social media. This situation has added a layer of complexity to the case, making its resolution even more uncertain.

Despite these challenges, Cristiano Ronaldo and Binance continue to promote their NFT initiatives, hoping that transparency and innovation will eventually prevail. For fans and investors, this new collection represents both an exciting opportunity and a reminder of the potential risks associated with digital assets. Recently, Binance even challengedRonaldo to pass a lie detector test, adding an intriguing dimension to their partnership.

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.
