Sculpture Artist Brendan Murphy Turns to Bitcoin Ordinals
Artist Brendan Murphy has created a new art collection called âFrozen With Desireâ, featuring 3.1K Bitcoin Ordinals Spacemen inspired by his diamond-encrusted sculpture.
This project marks Murphyâs entry into the Bitcoin blockchain art space, following his earlier Ethereum-based NFTs, âBoonjiâ.
Owners of the Ordinals can redeem their digital pieces for a physical artwork.
The project showcases a 3D recreation of his original âFrozen With Desireâ sculpture, which is adorned with 6.2K responsibly sourced digital diamonds on the Bitcoin network.
Now available on Magic Eden, each NFT is priced at 0.00144 BTC (approximately $92), potentially making it a good investment opportunity for those interested in crypto art.
