About FEWOCiOUS’ successful “Paint Drop NFT” collection, and what’s next for the well-renowned 19-year-old digital artist
Victor Langlois, otherwise known as “FEWOCiOUS”, is no stranger to making a quick fix of cash from non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
After raking in $3.1 million by generating digital sneakers in partnership with the Nike-owned NFT collection, RTFKT, the 19-year-old artist raised $19 million his “Paint Drop” NFT sale—“the building block” of his new generative art project, FewoWorld.
But what makes FEWOCiOUS’s Paint Drop NFT art more desirable than other digital collectibles circling the space?
Perks of the Paint Drop NFT Collection
FEWOCiOUS’ Paint Drop NFT collection—consisting of 30,198 paint units—is like nothing he, nor anyone else, has created before.
The young artist partnered with Nifty Gateway to launch the digital assets on April 3, and boy oh boy, was it a success.
To entice customers, check out the road map and the use cases the Paint Drop NFTs included:
- Collectors could purchase Paint Units in exchange for Paint Drop NFTs representing the number of units acquired.
- The more units bought, the more rewards FEWOCiOUS issues via FewoWorld.
- The top 50 buyers were eligible for their trophy NFT and custom pieces created by FEWOCiOUS, otherwise known as Fewos’.
- The sale opened to FEWOCiOUS NFT holders before the general public. FEWICiOUS NFT holders could acquire NFTs for $500, whereas the general public could buy the NFTs for double the amount ($1k).
Despite the original cost of the digital assets, the Paint Drop NFTs were soon found on secondary marketplaces for auction and trading purposes. Following this, one the digital assets alone sold for $260k (515 ETH).
Reports suggest that prominent industry actors purchased the NFTs to support the young lad. Hence, the high cost for just one Paint Drop NFT alone.
