Artist Spotlight
This week's Artist of the Week was Jose Delbo. He is a professional comic book artist turned crypto artist. He was first inspired by cowboy Westerns, so he moved to the states and started working on comics such as Lone Ranger and Billy the Kid. Delbo has worked on big name comic books like Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman. He also worked on 101 Dalmatians, Little Mermaid, and Mighty Ducks for Disney. Delbo released his first NFT in the form of a 43 page digital comic book titled Death. Since then he has released many collections in his comic style, most notably "Death of A Gunslinger" and "Death... Always Present." We like Delbo because he is another great example of an artist who successfully bridged the gap between digital and fine art. He had an extremely successful career and recognizable name prior to his transition to NFTs, which is great in terms of bringing fans into crypto space.
That's It!
