Congratulations, @trevorjonesart and @Jose_Delbo!! Both of these iconic works have already secured their place in Cryptoart history, and despite the amazing roster of other contenders, it's hard to imagine one of these not taking the prize!
There is another news from Artist @TrevorJones and @money_alotta. They have gifted @VitalikButerin the only artwork layer that can be changed manually on #EthBoy. A great example of how innovative the NFT space is compared to the traditional art world.

What is Minty.art and what do we do?
Inefficiency is plaguing the art world and halting the creative process. This inefficiency leads to a lack of transparency. This lack of transparency ultimately undermines trust. Middlemen are prevalent everywhere and get paid to verify, certify, and authenticate that which we should already know. Their outdated systems and complex protocol leads to big fees and confusing circumstance. It also begs the question, why can’t it be the artists that benefit most from their art?
Minty is a new platform for today which thinks about tomorrow. Artists can access funding from collectors through its patronage scheme, empowering them to reach new levels of creativity. They can also tokenize their existing artwork using a Non-fungible token or NFT for short. This minting process allows complete ownership and control of their art. It also enables artists to not only sell their work on Minty, but gain royalties from any sales in the future, along with any other benefits written into the NFT. This unique tokenization of work eliminates counterfeiting, removes the need for middlemen, and creates trust and clarity in the online marketplace. You’ll find all of this on the Minty platform, from the artist direct to the buyer.
