In 2008, Justin Paul started #designweapons studios with a drive to share his art with the world. In 2009 he was hired by #Sony to create #keyart for #priestmovie. In 2012 #sonystudios again hired him in a collaboration with #marvelKnights to create the official key poster art for #ghostriderspiritofvengeance. Flash forward to 2021. After creating over a dozen #hollywood posters for studios like #lionsgate #blumhouse and #warnerbros the industry has reached a paradime shift.

"The thing about studio projects is that there is a lot of people making decisions. You are hired for your talent / style and then they want to change everything about it. Nothing we create as artists for a studio is truly raw once corporate becomes involved."

Concept artists for Studios like #marvel would agree. Take #jeradmarantz who does like 90% of the #3dmodeling you see in #dcstuidos and #marvelStudios projects. If you follow his work you can see his original designs are always far superior to what makes it through studio control. Evidence of this can be seen in #thesnydercut where his original designs were finally allowed to see life, and they are far superior to what was seen in the original cut of #justiceleague.

In 2021 #nftart became a viable stream of revenue for artists both large and small. For the first time in modern history artists are finally being valued for their original visions with unbridled creativity. Platforms have been created with in a matter of months. Each platform is fighting it out to be the #nftking in a rapidly growing space of unknown territory.

"Right now it's basically like a gold rush. I think we as artists are in uncharted waters and there is a tremendous opportunity to reach out and become something more. The goal has always been to do what you love and make just enough money to support a lifestyle where you can keep doing it without interruption. It's hard, #digitalartists in the past decade have become extremely undervalued."

#nftspace has been divided into various platform. Spaces like #niftygateway have suddenly become bastions for famous celebrities to do what artists despise. Hire them for their talent at underpaid wages and take all the credit for the #digital artists work. Platforms like #opensea and #rariable have no vetting on who can mint art, so the market is overstated.

"Personally after doing my research and experimenting on several platforms, I decided to mint my #gothicart collection on #withfoundation. I love the look of the site, its curated and i believe it out classes a lot of other #cryptoart sites i've seen. I'm also looking forward to experimenting with spaces like #knoworigin, #superrare, and #makersplace.

"The true goal of any artist is to touch the viewer with an emotional response. a film maker and a musician will look for that magic spark. It's a beautiful thing to watch someone so touched by your work that they actually tear up. I've cried listening to music that touches me. I've been inspired by other artists to the level of lifting me out of depression.

#justinpaul and #designweaponsart are currently names rising among the ranks of super artists in the #nftcollectors watch list like #beeple #mikewinkleman and #bosslogic. He has quickly become a staple in the #nfttradingspace Justin Paul is in the first phase of launching a #gothicart collection on #withfnd but has already sold over 10 original works on other platforms to collectors from around the globe. His art comes with a pedigree of 15 years of work in #hollywood and the #musicindusty.

"#mostvaluableNFTartist #MVPNFT is that a thing? for me, its more about being respected for my original vision. I appreciate anyone who collects my art. It doesn't matter if a piece sells for 15 dollars or 15 million. If an #nftcollector can love it as much as I do without wanting to change it, I've fulfilled a life goal. Do i consider myself one of the highest valued NFT artists? I guess thats subjective. I think it's difficult with for an artist to walk around with a personality like #tonystark. An artist is a very interesting type of person. We are usually socially distant, humble people but we also are extremely selective. I think the fact that we never fit in with societal norms was the reason we turned to art to begin with. Art is catharsis. It's exercising our emotions in the only way we know how. We don't exactly fit in with #highsociety or the social movers of this generation. Thats fine, but i think a part of us wonders what we could be if we were built differently."
