Hello! My name is Tayton.
I am currently a NFT Project Manager for a highly talented Artist (Mark Narens) that has been painting for 18 + years. He uses paint, sharpie, spray paint on canvas to create these phenomenal pieces that have been sold globally. Mark Narens is the name of this artist! Him and his down to earth wife (Miss Suzy), have been grinding since day 1 when they started in Chicago with their own gallery. They lived and worked in that gallery. They also had many fundraisers and would even let other artists show their work in their gallery for prices as low as $100 or any donation possible. After years of this, they eventually moved to California where they started from scratch in a trailer, but still kept the art alive by consistently pushing out new content at least daily. As time went on, and more and more people would happily purchase their paintings, their lives became better and better. Eventually setting up on the Venice Beach Boardwalk a minimum of 5 days a week, selling and displaying their art. They have and continue to sell a minimum of 1 piece a day. There are times Mark will have 2 or 3 commission pieces at a time and be working on his next piece simultaneously. Mark currently has about 9 different collections under his My Strange Perspective series, with 2 new pieces added to his newest collection called "Flower child, robot world". I slowly and humbly approached Mark and his Wife about NFT's. At first, they would respectfully dismiss my mention of NFT's. Eventually showing that I was really passive about NFT's and blockchain technology and especially their amazing content, they allowed me to speak my thoughts and potential strategy of what I could do with their years of hard work. One meeting led to another. Now we consistently meet once a week if feasible. They have entrusted me with handling their content, providing them with a strategy, being admin and fully managing the discord and giveaways. (We did our first real physical art pieces giveaway! We had a successful giveaway to 3 winners). My strategy is to begin with transitioning all the first series pieces into NFT's, and slowly dropping a new series here and there, that way the holders can see the years of change and how Mark has become better and better. So far we have successfully created the first series! This happened on 11/15/2022. Fairly recently.
(please keep in mind I tried telling their story from what they have told me. I would love it if you heard it from them personally! I also butchered bits of the story!)
I am now on the road to creating momentum in the Discord and OpenSea. This process can be challenging, but not impossible! We directly use OpenSea. Once we have a few collections up and a bit more momentum in the Discord and OpenSea, we will be doing a mintable on some of Marks characters with characteristic traits that have a rarity percentage to it down the road. ! (but shhhh the minting is alpha!)!
We are about to do our very first NFT giveaway, which is exciting to me, especially if it helps gain traction!
