IRL - Digital transition

I’m an irl artist who wants to transition to digital NFT art and I wondered if anyone else has had to do this with their art. What challenges did you encounter? what did you have to sacrifice? What did you love?

I’m a conceptual artist so it’s not as simple as doing a digital representation of my work. I’m looking into the whole gamut of NFT/cryptographic art and how i can use it as a sandbox for my work.

Welcome, good question!

We publish conversations with artists on the blog that might be helpful. Some highlights:

Ryan Koopmans (Ryan Koopmans on Crafting Enduring Digital Art | Manifold Blog) had been a documentary photographer since 2008 before moving into digital work.
Erika Lee (A Chat with Erika Lee | Manifold Blog) minted a body of writing rather than images.
