The NFT art items below were created in (unofficial) tribute to the concept and early stage of Arweave, the AR token and the permaweb concept.
They were hand-drawn, then enhanced or animated digitally. This was part of a series using an olden 'CryptoMagic' template partly to help myself explore but also bookmark what I was invested in (and am still). They were also inspired by artwork in one original Harry Potter film (eg. the Marauders Map).
The Arweave project is alive and well with integrations across blockchain networks and dapps (incl. this one), allowing users to store data long-term permanently. Recently (here in 2024) the network has seen increased promise with the launch of AO Computer, which will leverage it, and also provides a compelling new project for decentralised developments at L1.
You can buy/place offers on the following marketplaces, details of which (but not the actual image files) are now stored - also via this post - permanently. They are verified by me as the creator, although they may belong in different wallets, or on different marketplaces. These are the ones I've been able to identify, and there may only be a few others, or possibly a few editions (of one item) still to mint via Makersplace.
