Horror YouTuber Colby Brock Teams With Influencer Record Label ‘Heard Well’ For First NFT Launch

Colby Brock, who is one-half of the horror exploration YouTube channel Sam and Colby with best friend and co-creator Sam Golbach, is launching his very first NFT collection today in collaboration with influencer-curated music label Heard Well and talent management firm We Are Verified.

The NFT collection, dubbed Genesis, was inspired by the latest playlist Brock created for Heard Well, dubbed The Nights I’m Left Alone. Each of the NFTs reflects Brock’s love for the macabre, featuring two hands clutching towards a rotating skull as music blares and lightning strikes. The digital animation was created by artist Jacob Hylton and is set to the track “Egokill” by Connor Mason.

The collection (pictured below) comprises three purchasing tiers: an NFT with an accompanying postcard and skull pinan NFT with a hand-signed physical representation; and an exclusive holo NFT with an autographed physical replica— and a 15-minute call with Brock to discuss the piece.

The drop is live right now and will last 24 hours — meaning that as many NFTs are sold within that timeframe will be minted. The first tier of NFTs is priced at $25 and the second is priced at $50. The third option will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

“Heard Well is an incredibly savvy music company that truly understands the power of social media and influencer marketing,” Joe Conyers III, the EVP and global head of NFT for Crypto.com — where the collection is being vended — said in a statement. “This is a new space for Crypto.com NFT, and we’re very excited to welcome Colby’s fans into our community.”

Alex in Wonderland
A figure, Alex, stands mostly naked in the midst of a physical and psychological maelstrom. He is clad only in nostalgic 80’s era socks, on a tenuous island between active waters and a variety of shark denizens. Sharks on the right side of the image are all beached, including a shark with a quartz crystal snout, an orange shark wrapped in a life buoy, and a shark further in the distance wearing an 80’s style shirt with the number “88”. On the left side is the largest shark, wearing bright glossy red lipstick and brandishing prominent teeth with braces. She is cordoned off from the figure by a roped float divider, and within her thought bubble is a warning symbol. Behind the figure, hovering in the air, are Grey aliens emerging from the distance, out of a series of elliptical UFO shaped interdimensional membranes. The Greys take on the visual form of spermazoa ostensibly impregnating the interdimensional thresholds. As is typical, these Greys inhabit a zone just behind the unconscious topology of Alex’s dissociative mind. Though Alex’s bottom half is representative, his top half mutates into a psychological cornucopia. In a manner akin to “Auto-Erotic Sphinx”, a predecessor work, the figure has self suctioned—an act of sensual infatuation, enjoyment, and exploration. Upward exists the figure’s primary conscious eye, adorned with a revolutionary beret emblazoned with a Bitcoin badge. The figure’s summit features the nose of a fighter jet facing off against video game Bullet Bills, one of whom is marked by a communist North Korean star. A cropped section of a UFO observes the contest. Alex’s mind branches both left and right. To the left is more singular embodied consciousness, manifesting two eyes and a Ganesh trunk grasping crayons. The right branch dissociates upward diagonally, emerging into an array of eyes, faces, teeth, tail, a unicorn horn, and much more—all of which participate in expressing his unconscious being; a democracy of psychic factions representing thought impressions and associations. All illumination and darkness– fernal, infernal, high consciousness and corporeal underbelly–reside in this realm. In the distance are relatively languid, light clouds, and against the firmament hovers a colossal distant eye peering over the scene and far beyond. This painting possesses underlying genetic traits with previous works such as “Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys”, “Dionysus”, and “Fuku-Shiva”. The work serves also as a nod to an earlier period of art inspiration during late teens and early twenties— born out of the nakedness, vulnerability, curiosity, and wonder inherent to coming of age and all subsequent psychedelic revelation.
