"I wrote Vinyl Revival as a tribute to the joy of listening to rock and country music on vinyl," says Jon Christopher Davis, a Texas-based recording artist with numerous hit songs including "Lone Star Attitude," "The Bottom Line," "Relay for Life," and "Little Bird." 

 

Jon adds, "By releasing Vinyl Revival as a NFT collection, I can bring a new music experience that combines the old and new together into something truly unique that music fans will love."

The Vinyl Revival Collection contains a number of collectible music items, including:

* Limited Edition NFTs that allows the owner to receive a vinyl record of "Vinyl Revival," a signed album cover, and a digital version of the companion music video.
* A Limited Volume NFT containing a 30 second video clip from the song's music video.
* Two NFTs that can be redeemed for a private concert event, including one at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

"This NFT collection brings together everything a music fan loves; from vinyl records to digital art to once-in-a-lifetime concert events," says Sam Stanton, Chief Experience Officer for NFT Collaborative, the promoter for the collection. He adds, "This is one of the few NFT collections that allows digital currency owners to convert their holdings into real-life experiences."

While NFTs have grown in popularity, there are several challenges that inhibit the collection of NFTs by serious collectors; including verification that the art is authorized for release by the artist and the location of the actual digital files on the internet.

"Buying an NFT today is like buying a painting from a resale shop; while you like the art, do you know if it is authentic," says Sean Jackson, Chief Digital Officer for NFT Collaborative. He adds, "serious NFT collectors require a lot more information if they are going to protect the value of their purchase in the long-term."

The digital files included with the Vinyl Revival NFT Collection have been enhanced to include additional metadata within the file along with a separate Certificate of Authenticity for each NFT. Further, the hi-res digital files and Certificates are hosted on IPFS, a decentralized storage network, that distributes the files across a wide network of servers for long-term availability.

"When we created these NFTs we thought about what a collector would need years from now to help protect and enhance the value of their purchase. Using our approach, and relying on open standards, we have created a better quality of NFT than what is commonly available," says Sean Jackson.

The Vinyl Revival NFT Collection will be available for purchase on August 25, 2021 on OpenSea.io.

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.
