Summary
Pam Voth
Known in the Collective as “The Tiger Whisperer.” 🐯
If you’re a new female photographer looking to get into the NFT art space, be sure reach out to Pam and check out the First Roll program on the Sloika platform (links below).
The imnotArt BALANCΞ exhibition took place from December 10-19, 2021, but the website and information is still live on the website here.
N☉M∆DIC FR∆Mミ
It can literally pay to experiment with different genres of your art, and different activities in crypto. Nomadic used “Alien Worlds,” a play-to-earn game to fund some NFT purchases, and applied to curated platforms, such as MakersPlace and KnownOrigin, multiple times before finally getting accepted (don’t give up! ✊). For more details on play-to-earn games, see this previous article:
If you mint on different platforms, make an intentional strategy out of it. Nomadic became known across various platforms for specific genres of work.
Check out the NFT Showcase Twitter space hosted by Nomadic every Wednesday morning (10AM EST/7AM PST). 👈
