Great platform for artists to sell and promote their work digitally. Excited to see where it goes.

@fractalencrypt Thanks, bud! You've been an early and unwavering supporter of ours, and we feel so grateful. Your artwork is amazing and I'm so happy we had the chance to meet in person at Ethereal :)

@johnzettler Love what you guys are doing, happy to support good people doing good work. Bringing more beauty to the world is a noble goal. And that night was one I'll remember fondly. Thank you for all you did! Made my trip to NY magical! I wouldn't have even made it through the door without y'all! It's who you know...

@fractalencrypt that certainly was a mAgIcAl NiGht! Lol! (and the $140k Cryptokitty sold at auction was also amazing... 😉)

@johnzettler Yeah that was really exhilarating to see in person!

Hellooo Product Hunt 😸 — R.A.R.E Art founder here. We're super excited to introduce R.A.R.E Art, a marketplace for limited-edition digital art! Our mission is to increase the total artistic output of humanity. Tools for creating digital art have improved; screentime & digital media consumption is skyrocketing; and yet... there's no economic model to monetize digital art. The best that digital artists can hope for today is a like and a comment. That's un-fucking-acceptable. Enter R.A.R.E Art (RAREart.io) — where you can support digital artists directly by buying limited-edition artworks. Display your collection on the TV with Chromecast, an HDMI cord, or our (coming) RARE Art Apple TV app. Each purchase comes with a digital download & Certificate of Authenticity (an Ethereum-based token). 1 Certificate of Authenticity = 1 digital print. Every R.A.R.E artwork is limited in nature — once it's sold out, it's gone. Let's build a better future for digital artists & creators together! 🙌 Questions? Feedback? How can we improve? Please write below 👇 I'm here to answer!

What to see examples of digital art? Checkout my collection here: https://rareart.io/u/johnzettler... I (and only I) get a "TV Mode" button to run these as a full-screen playlist! 📽️

@johnzettler 'once it's sold out, it's gone.' How is this true when anybody can go to the site right now and download all the images they want? Also people who have purchased their digital arts can freely share copies with their friends and family?
John Zettler 👨🏻‍🎨
@joewandy Hey Joe - thanks for the comment; great question! Our view is that authenticity & value rests in the Certificate of Authenticity, which is a limited-edition token on the Ethereum blockchain. For an artwork with an edition of 10, there are only 10 tokens. If you buy the artwork; you hold this token. The token is also a legal "right." It's a right to use & post the artwork for any non-commercial purpose (i.e. screenprint it, print on a shirt/tote bag, post on social media or a personal site). And importantly, we're doing all we can at R.A.R.E Art to bring value to that "right"! Showing off the artwork in high-res on your TV with Chromecast, an HDMI cord, or through the RARE Art Apple TV app (coming very soon) - these are examples. Our vision for the future includes platforms that check to see that you hold this "right" before showing the media. True today for Apple TV, and we envision an extension into 3-Dimensional AR/VR...where you can bring your digital art with you everywhere! 👽

@hanatomiy_studio aww thanks Hana!

@hanatomiy_studio Thanks so much, Hanatomiy! We love your art and are so grateful that you choose to sell it here at R.A.R.E Art! For those who don't know Hantomiy, you MUST 👀 this interview we did with her as part of our R.A.R.E profiles series: https://profiles.rareart.io/hana...

@hanatomiy_studio the pleasure is ours!

I'm super excited about the launch! I've obviously been following this since the beginning and it's amazing how far it's come, from being able to purchase without crypto to displaying on TVs via Chromecast.
John Zettler 👨🏻‍🎨
@tommyrva and we've appreciated all your support since the beginning! It doesn't seem that long ago since the inaugural Rare Digital Art Festival in January 2018, when all this got started!

AYOO I'm Kevin, I'm responsible for artists relations and all things branding and marketing at RARE Art I’ve had a lot of fun and really expanded outsize my comfort zone working on this project and it’s pretty amazing to have formed all these new relationships and experiences with amazing artists and creatives around the world because of it! This project means a lot to me because as a tech nerd futurist, it’s a super neat idea that makes perfect use of the blockchain and as a creative, it's something new that can directly improve the lives of creative individuals. I've experienced how hard it is to sustain a living making things you want to create, even if its work that people really enjoy. To be able to assign value to your digital work and know that it's authentic and easily purchased is major! In case your curious, you can peep my creations and curations here: https://www.rareart.io/u/neverno...

Such a wicked cool idea! Love what y'all are building 🤩

Hey y'all! I've spent the last 15 months working directly with artists, photographers, & creators on R.A.R.E & one thing is abundantly clear - artists deserve more. The barriers to become a full-time artist on the internet are still enormous. Technology has made the middle-man obsolete. Creators can go directly to their audience for patronage, support, and meaningful impact. Think Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, etc... Why did this wave leave artists behind? Time to change that.

@jakebelford You've been a huge asset to the team and we couldn't have done it without you!
