Los Angeles, California, July 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ink & Americana launched a platform for NFTs based on the utility of as a new generation of Web3 art companies Ben Hazlerig‘s ingenious unique wooden relief sculptures that capture icons of all kinds. The series started with one Notoriously BIG Artwork presented to the rapper’s mother Voletta Wallace at the 50th anniversary celebration in Times Square in June – an event featured in mood, the source, TMZ and other major media. Hazlerig will publish a tribute to DMX in partnership with his estate next. Original artwork associated with NFTs starts at $100,000 in value.
Ink & Americana was founded by entrepreneurs Joe Wallace and Hazlerig and will coin and sell the NFTs associated with the original physical works and work with athletes, artists and brands to create works that support their legacy, philanthropy and other endeavors.
Hazlerig is a second generation artist who has developed his unique three-dimensional wood art style over the last few years. Looking for a way to spread positive vibes to those around him during the pandemic, Ben’s original idea was to turn traditional tattoo art into 3D wood art. The bold lines, bright colors, and underlying meanings seemed like the perfect combination to create high-energy art that gets noticed. Ben was able to take this original inspiration and let the possibilities run wild, using new design elements and pop art flair.
“When people experience Ben’s artwork, you can see the power right in front of you,” he said Ink & Americana co-founder Joe Wallace. “His Biggie portrait brought tears to people’s eyes and his DMX tribute will honor the man like no artist has done before. We are here to improve the NFT game with vision, skill and heart.”
