Road Map
- Launch Collection 1, Faces of a Mad Artist: 1st Ed. - 72 1/1 NFTs with OWA
- Mint Collections 2 - 9 in a similar fashion ~ 600 more pieces
- The floor price for each new collection will be the lowest price from the previous collection
- There are 4 distinct styles
- Abstract Faces
- Watercolor abstracts
- Splatter Abstracts
- Abstract Line Art Sketches (of Faces)
- Mint Lost Originals.
- Carl has a vast library of digital images of other works of art from Teddy, whose originals are long lost (not counted in the 600+). Carl will remaster the digital image, release an NFT. We will look for an NFT printing partner that can do high-quality 1 of 1 prints. They will be signed and authenticated by Carl as being "The Official Print" of that NFT.
- Complete the Collection Campaign - Once all of Carl's personal collection is minted. We will begin searching for previous originals Teddy made and sold throughout his life. We will then mint those on the blockchain and give them to the art owners.
- This will be an ongoing campaign by Carl to attempt to completely immortalize all of the body of work of his father Teddy in the blockchain.
- Posthumous Collaboration - "Colorful Carl" will continue his live stream collaborative art campaign. The show is aimed at celebrating the creative genius and total insanity that was Teddy Cleanthes all while continuing his creative legacy through me, his son, by breathing new life into his old works. This often includes a mashup of several of Teddy's pieces combined with the illustration and design skills of Carl, to make something completely new.
