17/09/2021 Kobe Bryant Inspired KB24 NFT Art on Course to Raise Millions for Foundation

 

LOS ANGELESSept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Within just 48 hours of announcing the creation of the KB24 NFT, the team behind the Kobe Bryant inspired project shared via Discord that they already reached 7,000 reservation requests. The site began a rollout of presale code reservations to lucky fans who signed up on KB24.com before Sept. 13, 2021. The KB24 NFT art collection is on track to sell out instantly within seconds of the launch and raise a projected $3 million for the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, as well as break records in secondary market sales that will raise even more money for the foundation. If the KB24 NFT can orchestrate and continue their marketing and growth efforts and follow the success of other NFT projects, such as Bored Apes and CryptoPunks, they may very well reach eight figures in residual revenues fairly quickly.

KB24.com was once Kobe Bryant's official website, first launched in 2006. It housed his forum, dropped limited edition merch, and was used to update Kobe's fans. The team behind KB24 is rooted in lifelong Kobe fans who are digital entrepreneurs and market disruptors, specializing in launching startups across multiple spaces by leveraging influencer and viral marketing. The team purchased KB24.com in an aftermarket sale with no intention of an NFT, but rather to create digital memorabilia of their childhood idol so that they can hold onto it forever. 

"After consulting with multiple mentors we dedicated ourselves and our marketing and design team to fully focus on launching The KB24 NFT," a representative from the KB24 team said. "We put all projects and responsibilities on hold, and reached out to everyone we know that can help the KB24 NFT reach its full potential. We formed a superteam of resources and marketing power."

The team's goal for this project is solely to donate to a charitable cause in honor of the Bryant family, as 100% of all proceeds and revenues from the sale of The KB24 NFT will be donated to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. In addition, all residual fees on The KB24 NFT will be donated, such that if a fan ever sells their art, all of the residual fees of the sale price will automatically be donated to the foundation as well — something not possible with traditional charitable sales. Being at the forefront of this type of innovative charitable work allows the KB24 NFT to experiment and create a project that will live on forever, and to positively impact kids and families through the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. The KB24 NFT can serve as an example for what's possible when traditional non-profit and charitable organization spaces are disrupted, and instead one-time such events make a perpetual impact. 

The KB24 NFT highlights Kobe's great achievements and allows fans to be a part of it. Each NFT will be 100% unique by combining different attributes that represent Kobe's achievements, moments in his career, or personality.The KB24 NFT team sees this project living forever and being interchanged between Kobefans finding their favorite moment with the Lakes legend, and with being able to access the Kobe wall that will be hosted publicly, allowing NFT holders to upload their favorite photo or tribute to Kobe and have it be viewed forever by fans visiting his website. 

The KB24 NFT team is offering Kobe Bryant fans more opportunities to get in on the presale via contests announced daily on their Discord channel, which has grown tremendously since the NFT was announced last Friday. The KB24 NFT team also announced on Discord that they will be releasing the first sneak peak of the NFT art in the next 48 hours.

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

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.
