Hello all, I'm BruceTheGoose~ (pretty much anywhere on web3 that you see that name, its me)
I've been meaning to dive into hive for a while now, and was finally spurred into action by the creation of the #NFT platform on this network. I'm a digital artist and NFT enthusiast, and am always seeking new places to publish my art NFTs as well as ways to network with more people in the community. I signed up for Steem months ago, then abandoned the idea of ever doing much with it when the platform got the ol' coup de gras from Justin Sun.
As an artist, I really couldn't specify a particular style or medium that I prefer, as I'm constantly finding new tools to create with, and new inspiration prompting me to create. NFT Showroom is really exciting to be a part of, and I'll soon be minting my first HIVE NFT; currently my artwork is available on Ethereum, EOS, and WAX, though the majority of it is on ethereum, as I often forget I have NFT creation accounts on the other mentioned networks. To collect some of my art, or to explore some of my personal achievements in the space, you can check out my pile of links and such at this website.
I'll take a moment to mention a couple things I'm particularly proud of though.
I'm the second-ever independent artist to have a listing with earnable rewards on Grow Your Base, an NFT discovery and earning platform.
I recently created a variant-art for the CryptoNoms "Masterwork Series", which has been released as a limited edition Enjin collectible.
I'm one of the very early CryptoArt partners for $WHALE, an ERC-20 token with a value backed by over 1 million USD worth of NFT's.
What I may be most proud of though, and certainly most excited to develop, is the Nifty Pride Foundation. What began as the world's first blockchain-based and NFT powered Pride Parade is currently growing into something much bigger and better; we have an art/music/etc. gallery being built in Cryptovoxels, where we plan to allow any LGBTQ+ creators to display and sell their work, as well as an upcoming event in Decentraland (more details on that soon), and we will soon be launching and NFT creation smart-contract to allow all the creators in our community to have a collective marketplace for their creations.
If you've made it this far, thank you, here's a gold star for you! ⭐️
And here's a link you can use to redeem some $FTHR, my "social currency" (limited to 500 redemptions)
To summarize, I'm excited to be among the HIVE community and to contribute to the decentralization and tokenization of all of the things.
Much Love,
BruceTheGoose
