Christopher Doodles - NFT's now on OpenSea

Happy New Year! I'm pleased to announce that my collection of work from this year is now available in NFT form on OpenSea, for those who collect such. I admit when the NFT craze first took off, I was rather put off by them, largely due to obnoxious crypto-bro's pumping thousands of pixelated pabulum, generated en-mass by automated script, with little or no thought except for the dominant intent to market to the masses in get-rich-quick schemes. Suffice to say it wasn't my style. In recent weeks, however, I've encountered -- largely via Twitter -- a host of really incredible and genuine ARTISTS of all kinds, specializing in all manner of genres (death metal to manga/anime to landscapes), dedicated to honing their skills in sketching, inking, painting ... and yes: displaying their work as NFT's, which inevitably prompted me to reconsider my initial distaste and investigate further how that form could be put to better use. So, anyway -- for those interested: p.s. 2022 was a difficult and challenging year for me in many respects, but I have sought solace in art and creatively learned and advanced a great deal. Just looking at my "pen and ink" drawings from a year or two ago and today seems like night and day. Credit is definitely due to the recent discovery of Micron pens. Of these works, the majority were produced in a span of 3 months!
