- deebosong 4y agoBill Watterson was influential for me to not go into NFT art. It's not something to be proud of, but I wrestled with joining or not. And at the time I was wrestling with making art in and for that space, I recalled a story about him where Spielberg and others approached him for movie rights for Calvin & Hobbes, and he refused, because it would ruin the soul of what he was trying to explore & do with those characters. It helped me put a stake in the ground for not joining NFT's at a pretty pivotal juncture for me. Might not be a relatable struggle to others, because of the obvious pitfalls and buffoonery in the space. But man, the pull of greed was powerful for a few weeks haha. I love Bill Watterson for his commitment to his values, let alone the amazing work he created.
