Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman is getting an NFT tribute in this year’s Oscar Nominee gift bags. 3D artist Andre Oshea got commissioned to make the artwork for the festivities. The Colon Cancer Foundation is selling the NFT to raise money for their cause. Boseman is actually up for Best Lead Actor for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. A lot of people think that he stands a great chance of winning after his tragic death. If you want a chance to own this NFT, you can check out the auction on Variable starting Sunday and running until Tuesday the 27th. Oshea actually had a chance to talk with Hypebeast about being a part of the six-figure “Everyone Wins” bags for the star-studded ceremony. (Note: More information about the negative ecologic impact of cryptocurrencies and NFTs is included at the bottom of this article.)
The way to immortalize an artist, is to honor them with art.
I was tasked to create a tribute NFT for Chadwick Boseman for the Oscars! Bringing this piece to life has been one of my most challenging & rewarding experiences as an artist.
