The multifaceted artist, writer, and actor Jim Carrey will launch his first NFT piece, “Sunshower,” exclusively for SuperRare, a curated marketplace for NFT art.
A voice-over that is original and reflective will go along with Carrey’s digital art. An animated NFT version of “Sunshower,” one of Carrey’s numerous paintings, will be first created.
“A sunshower seems like you’re being given a divine gift,” the “Ace Ventura” actor said in a statement, “a form of medicine with miraculous regenerative potential.” Carrey also said, “It’s hard to hang on to skepticism while the air around you is sparkling like diamonds.”
“Sunshower” will be made public on Wednesday, and an auction with a starting bid of $1 will begin on Thursday at 12:00 PT. The non-profit organization Feeding America will receive a share of the earnings.
Carrey, an enthusiast of both art and technology, has blended the two to produce his works of art, “Sunshower.” Drawing and painting were the actor’s first forays into the fine arts, followed by some experimentation with animation.
“I had merely begun to experiment with bringing my art to life through simple animations when the NFT world opened up, to me there could never be enough new places to create,” Carrey said.
The first NFT piece by Jim Carrey, “Sunshower,” was created in collaboration with the director David Bushell and is only accessible through SuperRare.
In March, Carrey announced that he would be taking a break from acting and was seriously considering retirement.
“Well I’m retiring. Probably,” Carrey told Access. “I’m being fairly serious, yeah. It depends, it depends if the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that is going to be really important for people to see, then I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”
