I met Jason Bailey a few years ago and it was his writings on the subject of cryptoart that most fascinated me. I have a lot to say about NFTs, however, I think that this article by Jason Bailey explains a lot so I think you can benefit a lot from it. Here are the main things I thought were very useful. You can read the entire article here:https://www.artnome.com/news/2018/1/14/what-is-cryptoart
While no single CryptoArtist or CryptoArtwork adheres to a single definition, I believe it is helpful to look at a series of common factors that have shaped the aesthetic and community thus far.
Digitally Native: For the first time, artwork can be created, editioned, bought, and sold digitally.
Geographically Agnostic: Empowered by the internet, artists participate from all over the world. CryptoArt is the first truly global art movement.
Democratic/Permissionless: Everyone is encouraged to participate regardless of skills, training, class, gender, race, age, creed, etc.
Decentralized: Tools and guidelines are designed to reduce the power of gatekeepers and middlemen and increase the autonomy of artists.
Anonymous: Use of pseudonyms allows artists to create and sell art while staying anonymous (if preferred), freeing them from social judgment.
Memetic: CryptoArt are often literally memes valued for their ability to spread quickly. The difference? The "Meme Economy" is now a reality.
Self-Referential: CryptoArtists often play with references to key events and personalities within cryptocurrency and blockchain culture.
CryptoPatrons: CryptoArt is collected by the CryptoRich: a group of savvy technologists and investors who got into cryptocurrency early.
Pro-Artist: Blockchain platforms often take little to no commission from artists. Artists are often remunerated for every future sale of a single work.
Dankness: Because CryptoArt is open to everyone, judging it by traditional artistic standards kills what is great about it. Instead, it is best to judge CryptoArt by "dankness" or potency of expression and creativity.
Once i get some sleep i will write more about this. But this is a great one to start you with.

Some valuable information are gathered from this post, this is help to understand how everything is going with nftshowroom and crypto art.
While I'm no artist and I don't always get it, I do enjoy a good piece of art or crypto art that tells a story, whether it be a sketch, something abstract that makes you think or a meme (memes are awesome). :)
Jason's article is a good place to start if you wish to get into NFT's. That Homer Pepe auction was crazy tho! I looked it up and it seems the currency was 350K PepeCash, but even that amounts to almost 40k US dollars apparently. Mind-blowing. 🙃

Cool! Thanks for sharing about this. Yes, I'm new to this idea, that's why the #hivechat question kinda took me by surprise 😁😁 is cryptoart easy to learn? Or I suppose the question should be about the making of cryptoart? 😊😊
