What happens when one of the biggest digital artists in the Crypto Art space collaborates with one of the biggest physical artists in the space?

On the 17th of December, Pak and TrevorJones released a collection on NiftyGateway consisting of 30 1/1 auctions & 3 open editions.
These 30 auctions were split into 2 parts with 12 auctions linked to physicals.

Pak and TrevorJones were both ranked the 2nd and 3rd biggest artists before this drop with individual sales of $40K+ on different platforms.
I talked with Pak before their collection on NiftyGateway dropped and here is his thoughts on the collaboration -

“We’re at the opposite sides of the creation palette, with Trevor.

I’m as digital as I can be, and he’s as physical as he can be with the process of creation.

So this was also a very interesting challenge — to keep ourselves but create something together.”

The Collision: Canvas
Auctions lasted from Friday 10:00 AM to Saturday 5:00 PM (ET)

This collaboration was one collection split into 4 parts — The Collision, The Collision: Moment, The Collision: Canvas, The Collision: Canvas & The Collision: Mechanism.

The Collision

Three open editions — Extrusion, Fusion & Sense.

All open editions were available for 6 minutes with Extrusion and Fusion on sale for $500 and Sense available for $5,000.

The final volume for primary sales on The Collision ended with a massive $1,322,700!

The massive recent success and big drops on NiftyGateway have proven to the mainstream news how big NFTs are; how the future for the digital art era is changing.
This collaboration has shown how artists can use Crypto Art in different methods rather then a single sale by selling the canvas.
This was the second drop in Crypto Art that amassed over $1M in sales after the Beeple collection, in the future — we will see massive interest in other artists and $1M sales will become regular.

I hope you read this article to the bottom and it inspired you how big this space is, Crypto Art will KEEP growing.
