Three years ago Jon, Ronna, and Rudy came up with this idea for a story they wanted to turn into a graphic novel and eventually a TV show, called “Robert The Electrician.” But, due to big life events, the story was put on hold. Now, the team is revitalizing it via NFTs.

The Electrician NFT project is a set amount of randomly generated NFTs that will fund the development and publication of a graphic novel, with a long-term goal of taking The Electrician to the big screen. John, Eric, Ike, and Dave will create the script. Then, Rudie and the art team will turn the script into a graphic novel before publishing it, and offering it to the world. After that, The Electrician will be pitched as a show, and put onto TV!

The team includes the Art Director of Mandalorian and the Avatar Franchise, the creative team from Central Intelligence, and Eric who was a writer/producer for Always Sunny in Philadelphia, along with a few other really talented folks.

Artists around the world are turning to NFTs and blockchain technology to make a living selling their art, with that, many NFT artists are curious to know how to report their sales on their taxes. Thankfully, we had the chance to sit down with Alex, who’s an NFT CPA to discuss this exact topic.

As an NFT artist, all NFTs that you create and then sell are taxed as ordinary income. Just like creating and selling a piece of art in the real world, NFT art isn’t taxed much differently. Additionally, NFT artists are eligible to receive various tax deductions for their supplies, events, and even certain gas fees.

In response to Russia’s invasion, the Ukraine region saw unprecedented levels of economic sanctions, choking up the financial institutions. As a result, the question of how the public could provide financial aid to those in desperate need was left open.

NFT community builder, Andrew Wang, woke up to the atrocities unfolding in Ukraine. Terrified and shocked, soon turning into conviction and resolve, Wang was determined to take action in the best way he knew how — by bringing people together.

Ultimately, Wang joined together with other NFT leaders and 37 NFT artists to create RELI3F — a Web3 initiative providing global humanitarian aid and ended up raising over $1 million for Ukraine in 30 seconds, via NFT sales.

Zeneca is a full-time NFT trader and investor. Before pursuing NFTs, Zeneca was a professional poker player for nearly 15 years. Now he is one of the most respected individuals in the NFT space and has fostered a community of more than 230k followers on Twitter in less than a year.

In the past year, Zeneca has bought, sold, and flipped numerous NFTs. This has led him to research hundreds of NFT projects, talk to thousands of people, and create a plethora of content. Ultimately, his experiences have led him to have strong convictions in the NFT space.

Zeneca says that the NFT space is so new, and we are all so new to it, that none of us are truly experts, rather, we are all students. Hence why he decided to create the ZenAcademy. His aim with ZenAcademy isn't to create a place where one person is going to post “alpha calls” and they all FOMO into projects. Zeneca desires to create a community that can all help one another by learning together.

His love for the Cool Cats NFT project led him to create clay sculptures which were animated claymations of Cool Cats that Jeremy called Clay Cats. After creating a few Clay Cats, Jeremy started to experiment with his own NFT project, the Lucky Duck NFT collection.
