Sir Anthony Hopkins, the Oscar-winning icon of film, television, and theater, became interested in NFTs in June by turning to web3-savvy Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Fallon, and Reese Witherspoon for advice. Since that time, the drama genius has become an eminent NFT collector. Currently, Anthony Hopkins' web3 journey is going deeper, as he aims not only to collect but also to sell NFTs by launching an inaugural, artsy collection.
To enter the crowd of creators, the most renowned "Hannibal Lecter" of all time has partnered with web3 media company Orange Comet. The collaboration will result in a series of NFT drops showcasing his work as an artist.
“NFTs are a blank canvas to create art,” Anthony Hopkins said, adding, "At first, I was nervous, but you’ve got to get on with it.”
The series titled The Eternal Collection will present Hopkins as one of his Jungian archetypes, including the Hero, the Rebel, the Magician, the Sage, the Ruler, the Explorer, the Lover, the Creator, the Giver, and the Jester. The whole series features a one-of-one Iconic animation NFT encompassing all ten archetypes as well as 1000 Legendary NFTs that are split as 10 Unique and Random Signature Animation NFTs and 990 Unique one-of-one images based on the 10 different archetypes (99 variants for each archetype).
A lucky holder of the Iconic NFT will be treated to unmatched perks:
The utilities for holders of ten Unique Signature Animation NFTs include a Discord private discussion with the creator, and, also, an autographed Dreamscapes Art Book.
The perks for the 990 Unique 1 of 1 artworks are no less incredible. Thus, 39 NFT holders will be rewarded a Dreamscapes Art Book, 5 randomly-picked minters will enjoy a Discord private discussion with Sir Anthony Hopkins, while the rest of the benefits will replicate the utilities mentioned above.
A portion of the funds raised from this NFT sale will go to charity.
“When Margam Fine Art approached us with the artistic vision to bring Sir Anthony Hopkins’ artwork to the metaverse, we knew this was a unique opportunity for the world of NFTs. This relationship is a superb symbiosis of technology and art from one of the finest actors and artists of our day,” the Orange Comet CEO Dave Broome said.
Each of the 10 archetypes within this series showcases a unique identity deeply connected to the mind of Anthony Hopkins. Called 'a celebration of life & beauty in chaos', The Eternal Collection has all chances to become a smash hit of October.
