Sean Ono Lennon — a British-American musician, songwriter and producer — has auctioned a tokenized digital illustration on nonfungible-token marketplace Rarible.
According to Rarible data, Lennon sold a piece titled “Etharian 1” on Monday for 5.5 Wrapped Ether (WETH), worth about $3,200 at time of publication.
The musician subsequently congratulated the new piece’s owner on Twitter: “Congrats @etyoung for winning the most important drawing ever drawn by anyone ever! May she treat you kindly in these winter months.”
Lennon first announced his NFT auction on Sunday, noting that it was his first experience with NFT art, as well as his first digital drawing. The artist noted that the girl depicted in the artwork “subsists solely on Ethereum.”
Bids picking up for my very first experimental 1/1 #NFTart on @rariblecom made from what was my first digital drawing w a stylus. I normally draw on paper. Been told I need to set an end time so auction will end tomorrow at noon
