This one is based on Jason Bailey aka Art Nome. he’s become a familiar presence in the Crypto/NFT Art space with his startled, wide eyed expression and retro hairstyle of shaggy flowing curls, held back by a bright tennis sweatband. Appearing somewhat like a surprised aerobics instructor from the Eighties, this however belies a serious mind and deep thinker. A self styled ‘nerd’, he’s considered an OG as both collector (the first on SuperRare) and champion of emerging technologies. He’s known to Crypto/NFT enthusiasts for his blog ‘Art Nome’, which focuses on Art bound to tech/data and subsequent analysis extraction, and also his business ‘Club NFT’ which develops solutions for Art collectors.
