There's no purpose in changing your art just to please more collectors. Just stay true to yourself, your art style, and your work, then you'll attract the buyers for it.
– Ted Chin
Ted Chin is a digital artist who workcan be described as a fantasy world with a touch of surrealism, sometimes with spirits of nature. He has been working within digital production, producing work for countless clients across the globe. His most recent accomplishment is the Adobe Photoshop 2021 splash screen cover artist.
Ted sold his first NFT in March 2021, and it was a massive success for him. He's pumped to be here and share with us everything he's learned how it can apply to us, how it can translate to the photography world and he'll also tell us a little bit about the story, how this past seven years of working hard paid off on that specific day when he released his art in the digital space.
