Who Arted?

By -

For all the relentless teasing and snark good-natured ribbing I took for my creation of ticker.art, it’s been a marvelous success. I mean, it’s not going to shove CyberPunks aside, but I was worried I would sell precisely $0.00 of my own creations, when in fact out of 48 items so far, 46 have sold! Pretty shocking, I’ve got to say. Ticker.art is a hit!

One chap has become a complete ticker.art aficionado – this doesn’t even show all the items he’s acquired, and he’s the lucky duck who snapped up TSLA in the wee hours this morning when we finally finished it after literally sixteen iterations on the pieces (I’m quite exacting about this stuff).

I’ve Got Gas!

By -

Hi everyone – well, ticker.art is only a week old, but it’s been a great week. We’ve gone from 0 people on Twitter to over 250, and we’ve sold 20 25 of our creations. There’s still plenty of great stuff available, though, and I wanted to offer an extra incentive this weekend.

Specifically, I’ll pay your gas fees. These creations are so cheap, I might even wind up losing money, but it doesn’t matter to me; I want to get ticker.art circulating out there! So all you have to do is forward me your “congratulations” email when you buy a piece and tell me your gas fee, and I’ll reimburse it to whatever wallet address you provide. Take a glance at the site and see if you’d like to get something this weekend, knowing that the gas fee is my problem! But only for this weekend.

Overnight Success

By -

I don’t think I’ve ever learned so many things, so fast, in my life. I knew zero about NFT a month ago (except to deride it, as most people here still do). Now it’s making a splash! And, hey, I’ll never push Bored Apes or CryptoPunks aside, but it’s a great start! Explore ticker.art and see for yourself. To see us on any list in just a week’s time amazes me, even if it’s 817th place!
