Selling you Art as NFT explained

[@lisavineyard348]

I have someone that wants to buy my artwork with NFT but I don't understand it at all.

[@sophikoart]

Same, I watched a couple of videos about it and I'm still clueless.

[@parisa3575]

same with me... I'm very confused.

[@givemecartoons]

Same here..

[@cocobop4576]

Omg same here and I got several people asking and I’m scared I might fall into a scam

[@fereshteh8628]

Same here.. I dont know if I should trust

[@AynaraGarcia]

Thank you Brainard! I apreciate your work and video very much thank you. I was waiting for this, just did not know where to find it. :-)

[@GerardoRevay]

Hi, I hate to bother you, but might I ask for your help? I hold USDT TRX20 in OKX along with the recovery phrase [ clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action ] How do I move it to Binance?

[@GerardoRevay]

Hi there, sorry to interrupt, but could I get your help? USDT TRX20 is kept in my OKX wallet, and the phrase is (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action). What’s the procedure to send it to Binance?

[@MightyJoeNolan]

I was on the fence about joining Praxis before I saw this. So refreshing to see a smart informed enthusiastic take on NFTs from someone so connected to the trad art space. I minted and sold my first NFT in March.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

I am an artist... I physically paint on canvas.. I am now being constantly hounded by NFT pundits, who want to "buy" my art. In a nutshell and to be perfectly honest - to me... it smacks of a "get rich quick" scam, where I'm not the one who would be getting rich. I have watched a number of these "explanation" videos and each one seems to have a slightly different take on what NFT trading/buying/selling, is actually about. I do not consider myself a fool. but I am old school..... I paint a picture on a canvas - put a price on it and, if all goes well, someone buys it for cash. Once they buy it, it's theirs to keep. What they do with it afterwards is difficult to control. Not long a ago, I sold a painting and later found that the buyer was selling prints of it. After checking the legals on such an issue, the buyer had, indirectly, breached my copyright. The high cost to pursue it through legal action was beyond my means. As far as I can tell. he is still doing it. So, now when someone throws the NFT card on my table, I immediately balk at the offer. As they say...Once bitten, twice shy.

[@teresaletters]

I so new to all this! So when u sell ur art to a nft collector, what happens to your physical artwork? Are u still aloud to sell it? Can u make prints from it?

[@creacionesdejoyasunicasdea1834]

The artist has copyright even after the sale of the original which means you can make prints, cups, mugs, phone etuis, calendars, even after you sell the original. Anyone else needs your written permission.

[@sachintendulkar3556]

these NFT art collectors are all scammers, they say they can buy for .3 ether but you have to sign up to a nft site and mint the artwork. Its all a scam Its gettin you to join a site and spend your own money and none of these clowns ever show up, another pyramid scame

[@musicisajourney]

Someone approached me on Instagram asking about purchasing some of my work as NFTs. I looked into it and quite likely it’s a scam. But it got me curious about NFTs as I read about them maybe two years ago - about the time you posted this video. I checked some info this morning and listened to your video while heading out. I’m now very curious to try because I recently created some digital art that I thought might be of interest and considered printing greeting cards or making a book or something. But that requires putting out money up front, and I don’t have that. I have the art; I need a platform for selling it. I’ve got my homework for the weekend, I see. Thanks for elucidating the details for beginners!

Did you sell ?? Because I'm in the same situation

[@musicisajourney]

@@sarahsd7925 No. In the end, I created a card game out of my work. But as I was preparing to start crowdfunding for my card game, I learned that AI-generated images are severely frowned upon - even detested - by many people, at least in Western countries. So, I gave up altogether.

[@WanderingNature]

Wow thank you so much for this wonderful and informative Video!!!🎉

[@anjieskaya]

Incredible!!! Thank you. " Game changing for Artists " indeed.

[@jillarwenposadas9621]

An online platform that sells art recently asked me if I was interested in NFTs and I told them that my work wasn't digital. I guess it might be like printmaking where you make a certain number of prints, then destroy the plate. If guess if I were to do NFTs I would paint something, take a really good photo of it, then destroy the painting. I'm not sure I could bring myself to do that (although I have done it, and I do have a lot of work that's been ruined). But this is for sure something worth thinking about and I'm very glad indeed to have watched this video ~ thank you so much, Mr B ^__^ /

[@AristotelisFalegos]

Hey Jill, there is no need to destroy the original work after you have turned it into an NFT! Another option would be to send the otiginal to the person who will buy the NFT. Many artists do it this way!

[@jillarwenposadas9621]

@@AristotelisFalegos Thank you so much! This makes me feel a whole lot better about this; in fact, I might just do it this way ~ thank you again ^__^ /

[@elasticharmony]

They draw it with a software then sale the file, with some prints for less.

[@DailyStrike]

If I sell my art as a NFT, where does that leave my physical paintings? Are they then null and void? Can I still sell the physical paintings?

[@texasdallas2149]

Yes,you can keep them or decide to sell them as well

[@emilianolopez4289]

Thank very much you for your video, Brainard, super educating! , Have a question for you: what is the most convenient thing to do: to create art in accord to current artistic/graphis/theme tendencies for NFT markets, or just be authentically ourselves as artists and create whatever we feel and want to put out to sell? Whats your opinion? to created something trendy or something authentically ours? What is more convenient in terms of money-making? Thank you!!

[@zee9731]

when you say copy the work it’s like what do you specifically mean, because a lot of the “art” i see is very simplistic and also you can fully just take a screenshot

[@zee9731]

i would understand if like someone painted something very complex and then only you could see it once you but it but everyone can see it

[@teresaletters]

Can I ask… if a collector buys my art nft, am I allowed to sale my physical original art? And sale prints of the art? Or do I loss my right to do that?

[@creacionesdejoyasunicasdea1834]

You are the copyright owner of your art. You can do anything. You're the boss. Selling an NFT is like selling a print. Nothing changes. Copyright remains yours.

[@quietcorner293]

What usage does one get from the NFT art? With physical art, you can at least display it while you own it. Where is there a way to display an NFT?

[@lamarrsanders5743]

This information is extremely helpful thank you for sharing.

[@VeronicaMist]

I’ve been a full time artist paying all my bills and raising kids by selling it, but I still don’t think regular artists like me would sell my art as a NFT and have it sell and re-sell just for “collectors” to keep it in a “wallet”. This is all so weird. Someone is offering me $50,000 USD for one of my images and he hopes to make money re-selling it. I dont get it at all. It’s like having a trading card of a nobody? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Lateralusaint.]

I started to make digital Art a few months ago. And now I get many people saying they love my art and would like to buy from me in NFT currency so I came on KZbin to find out what it is this is my first video and I am now less sceptical. I need to set up a wallet and start selling it is completely safe. Since I am jobless I cant afford to buy anything what do you suggest.

[@elasticharmony]

Some NFT have gone up to millions! These make the artist's skill more important.

[@chevyyyyyyy]

What if NFTs of existing art indicate the apposite, that skill is much less important, no? That keystrokes and marketing are growing much more important for low skill stuff.

[@ozzy_tribal_design]

Should you put a watermark on the artwork?

[@johannes6178]

Got in early before the NFT craze and profited a little from the different platform tokens. My own NFTs never took off though, I think you need quite a reputation otherwise you'll drown among the millions of new ones getting made every day. At this point it's used as a massive money laundering scheme lol

[@MichaelKrasowitz]

I agree, I think the market is being influenced by a few big players and most other people are paying to participate with no buyers. Also there are fees if someone buys the work "gas fees" that the seller has to pay . I think the angle is you have to create some kind of scarcity to make the NFT seem valuable

[@johannes6178]

@@MichaelKrasowitz and who knows if you will ever be able to resell it?

[@sheldondrake8935]

"Collecting", i.e., treating art like a commodity, is always a money laundering scheme; it's painfully crass but the money is very real. Smart Contracts mean artists can get in on that hustle.

[@BrainardCareyAWD]

yes, thats the idea!

[@birdpainter452]

A lot of scammers out there offering to buy / sell NFT art. BEWARE!

[@quietcorner293]

I am a hobby photographer and I have photos on Facebook. Someone just told me that they would like to buy my NFT. I pretty much know nothing about this. If I have a photo, would there be only one NFT file for that photo or can I sell many different files?

[@sharadachadagar9467]

Can we sell our same artworks to different people

[@sharadachadagar9467]

Will you please tell us which is fake or scam & which is real & genuine &safe? 7:05

[@riot.9]

I don't understand why anyone would need an NFT artwork. Especially for photos if there are things like shutterstock.

[@mastamere]

Thank you! Great explanation!

[@michaelenechi]

In your video you mentioned hard copy arts like paintings and drawings could be sold as NFTs, how is that possible? I thought it was only digital photos of my work that can be sold as NFTs

[@MightyJoeNolan]

You sell the token as a digital image lets say of an actual painting. Then you make the original an "unlockable"feature. Many platforms have specific set ups for this, but you can also just add this in a description: collectors receive original painting with winning bid. Contact me after collecting to share shipping info. Etc...Now the token is like indelible provenance for the actual work on your wall etc. I sell original along with the animated GIFs I create from them

[@shainrutten8469]

Hello there, I am wondering… once I list an NFT for sale, is there anything else that I need to do if someone is interested in purchasing it? This is my first time. I would be under the assumption that once it’s listed for sale there is nothing else I need to do if someone wants to make a purchase, is there? I truly appreciate your advice on this.

[@chevyyyyyyy]

I can sell a piece of original art. Then some person can take a photograph of that same art to make a copy and sell it as, what, a new original? Who would know?

[@BrainardCareyAWD]

you are still the artist that made it, that cannot be taken away.

[@chevyyyyyyy]

@@BrainardCareyAWD But the thief can claim originality and use the NFT method to fraudulently sell it, It seems to me. By this method, it can be taken away. No?

[@PainterBo]

@@BrainardCareyAWD It says: must be made digitally.. sorry, I paint, I draw.

[@elasticharmony]

They have court cases on this, and the direct "rip off" of your work can be protected. They do allow some, but in your case it is that you never knew it;

[@creacionesdejoyasunicasdea1834]

Yes they can, but the chances that it would ever sell are nearly ZERO!! It is said but THAT is the reason why not to worry about it.

[@Jas111ld]

This guy is neither an artist, nor an art critique of any sort. Some of what he say is true, but mostly he sells books to unsuspecting budding artists on false premise. Please do not believe him if he approaches you with a 'know it all' book offer. It's a scam.

[@zz4820]

Someone approach me on Instagram and asked me to sell my artwork as NFT ETH whatever.. As usual i don't have any idea about it how it works though i could sell my art will i get cash or anything out of it it's still confusing

[@creacionesdejoyasunicasdea1834]

Nobody should ask you about buying anything unless they saw that you sell something. It's sad but it's an Immediate red flag.
