22/07/2021 Tom Brady’s NFT platform Autograph partners with Lionsgate, DraftKings

Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is beefing up his NFT platform Autograph with deals to launch movie content with Hollywood studio Lionsgate and sports-related tokens with sports betting site Draftkings.

The startup is also adding a slew of big-name athletes to its advisory board, including Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretsky, Derek Jeter, Naomi Osaka and Tony Hawk.

NFT stands for non-fungible token, a unique digital asset that has risen in popularity as a collectible, like a digital stamp. NFTs can come in many forms, such as trading cards, works of art, musical performances or movie stills — and have been selling for millions of dollars in some cases. 

Hollywood studio Lionsgate said Wednesday that it will launch NFTs in conjunction with Autograph tied to blockbuster films like “John Wick,” “Twilight,” “The Hunger Games,” “Mad Men” and “Dirty Dancing.”

The first entertainment properties will hit this fall, according to Lionsgate executive vice president and global live interactive head Jenefer Brown, who added that NFTs “present a tremendous opportunity for mixed-reality world building experiences.”

Autograph will then debut its first sports-related NFTs tied to DraftKings Marketplace, an e-commerce site that lets people with a Draftkings account buy, sell and trade digital collectibles.

“The NFT boom has reinvented the collectibles industry and driven excitement to early-adopting audiences worldwide,” said Matt Kalish, DraftKings co-founder and president. “This initial vision in collaboration with Autograph… is a vital first step as we enter the emergent NFT market.”

Interesting NFTs
Michael Jordan - Crown Collection
“All you needed was one little match to start that whole fire.”- Michael Jordan. In regards to both the action on the court and everything that happened off of it, Jordan provided a spark that changed the future in so many different ways throughout his tenure in Chicago, and even decades after the fact. And, in the end, he got everything that he wanted when he began his NBA journey: he turned the team and organization as a whole into a respected program, like the dynasties he looked up to as a child. Having steered the Chicago Bulls to an incredible six championship rings in eight years from 1991-1998, scooping up five MVP awards in the process, Jordan is one of just a handful of superstars who have truly transcended their sports. Jordan and Scottie Pippen’s (right) relationship both on and off the pitch was arguably the foundation of the Bulls’ incredible success. Scottie Pippen was present with Jordan for all six championships in eight seasons. Dennis Rodman (left) His relentless and smart play perfectly suited what Jordan and Jackson wanted to do to take the Bulls to greater heights. Although his exploits off the court earned him special fame, Rodman was unquestionably one of the greatest basketball players of his generation and one of the finest defensive players in the history of the game.

The River Plate Machine
Digital illustration for the cover of These Football Times magazine in its issue dedicated to the Argentine football team "Club Atlético River Plate". Original from 2020. For this cover I have created a complex machine that links all the generations and legends of the club with its great shield and emblem crowning the center as the heart of the fantasy machinery. Full of details and ornaments this is a highly detailed work. An authentic trip to the history of River through the imagination and the colors of the club. The most significant titles of the club are also included, such as the Libertadores Cup, the famous Intercontinental and the new Super Liga and the Argentine Cup in its newest cup design. If you see a hen, don't be surprised, it is the nickname that its fans give themselves, and they like it. ----- https://javierarres.com/about.html
