Times Like Fees

Times Square, Manhattan, progressed from an original physical painting in mixed media on sheet aluminium. The veneer of contemporary New York is penetrated by a vision of the looming ubiquity of cryptocurrency on our culture.

To create this piece, the original New York Cityscape painting was digitised at high resolution, preserving the tones and textures of the source artwork. Composited images were then enhanced and expanded upon with multiple digitally hand drawn animated embellishments recorded. These are interwoven into the iconic NYC scene to create the final NFT.
