The animation work featuring EthBoy on AsyncArt is a short preview of the derivative NFT artworks that will be created from it over the next 5 years. This is a gift to the owner of EthBoy, @MaxStealth5, a ‘thank you’ for investing in us and believing in our work.
The original oil painting was created as the starting point for an Async Art programmable art project in collaboration with the creative genius, @money_alotta.
So, what does this mean? Very simply, as the months and years progress EthBoy on Async will become an artistic, visual representation of Ethereum relating to factors including price fluctuations, gas fees, an accessory layer connected to one of Vitalik's wallet address, and even annual changes triggered by Vitalik’s birthday and the initial release of the Ethereum system. Finally, we included some BTC butterflies that flutter up or down to the price of Bitcoin as an added aesthetic touch.
Following young Vitalik on his adventure as he experiences life’s highs and lows and watching how he responds to the situations is the entertaining part of this innovative work of art. Therefore, we decided to capture the Async changes every day throughout the year and present them in video/animation for everyone to enjoy.
These mini-animations will drop as NFTs twice every 12 months for five years, 10 NFTs in total. Each animation will consist of approximately 182 days of changes taking place between July 30th, the anniversary of the Ethereum system release and Vitalik's birthday, January 31st. The auctions will take place on OpenSea with the first drop occurring shortly after July 30th, 2021.
Importantly, The profit on the sale of each work will be divided three ways between the two artists and the owner of the EthBoy NFT, @MaxStealth5. This is an exciting opportunity for the winner of the Async Art auction to share in the adventures of young Vitalik in a more commercially unique way.
