Dear African Artist, The biggest mistake you’ll make in your career is to let the opinions of collectors or other artists influence your work. Don’t listen to whoever tells you your work isn’t “African enough”. Whatever your style, let your art flow from your heart. Amen?

When the media make it look like the NFT space is all about the money, it breaks my heart. Because it makes a lot of people enter the space for the wrong reasons. Between 2017, 2018 and a greater part of 2019, nobody in the space was all about the money. It was about sharing.

Display is still a big problem in digital art. Every artist works in their own dimensions, and purposefully so. I hate to start customizing my work to a particular size and aspect ratio for exhibition. I think it takes away from the work. I hope that changes soon.

As the NFT space is getting bigger and bigger, platforms have to think diversity. It doesn’t do you any good to have almost 90% of the artists on your platform all white. What happened to BIPOC who are just as talented and have been at the door waiting to be let in? 1/2

Art has always been mankind’s way of offering answers for life’s many questions. From my experience, a successful work of art does this, but an even more successful work of art brings up more questions! Osinachi x @ChristiesInc presented by @154artfair still showing!

@fireboydml You deserve every bit of hype and every good thing coming to you because of this album. This was more than an album. It was a GIFT and I still cherish it.
