14/07/2021 SZA Drops A 14-Set Of NFT's

The TDE singer's latest drop has sold out.

Four years removed from the release of CTRL and its abiding fanbase, SZA has announced that she will be working on her own collection of NFT's. Tied in with her recent concert sponsored by American Express, the Top Dawg singer has released a handful of her favorite moments from her latest show and turning them into these little things that you pay a lot of money for so they ultimately corrode space on your hard drive. Sounds cool!

For no extra charge, one of these moments even featuredTravis Scott, who SZA collaborated with on her freshman LP's major hit, "Love Galore." Another option fans had was the serenity of Moment 11, where buyers are offered "A peek into the lush environment of SZA’s third set, shot at midnight on a still, secluded lake in Santa Barbara. Fireflies can be seen overhead in the live stream." Oh, boy, would I love to pay to watch some fireflies buzz around right now.

The collection was available on Fanaply, although all fourteen "moments" have sold out to the tune of $100 per token. According to the leaderboard, nobody purchased more than a single moment, with the charts reading no more than a measly "1" next to each user's name.

Separate from SZA's AmEx show, her recent performance alongside Grey Goosewas intended to go hand-in-hand with the promotion of her upcoming project, but after rumors of it being scrapped, who's to say what the singer's plans are as of right now.

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.
