We speak with photographer, curator, publisher and now NFT leader Kris Graves about how his new platform Quantum Art is helping artists make a living.

While many naysayers (including Wikipedia!) are convinced that the NFT market is a form of “the emperor’s new clothes,” for many artists, it’s creating new revenue streams that were previously unheard of.

At the forefront of NFT photo sales is Quantum Art, a platform led by Kris Graves, Jonas Lamis, and founder Justin Aversano (with curatorial leadership from Humble’s Roula Seikaly) who are on a mission to put money in the hands of artists who have too often seen their work used for "exposure" rather than money in their pockets.

All of Quantum's “Season 1 and 2” artist drops have sold out in twenty minutes or less, earning the artists five-figure incomes (or more!) that are deposited immediately to their virtual wallets.

I spoke with Kris Graves over Zoom to learn more about Quantum Art, the mystery behind NFTs, and how to harness this new product to help artists everywhere.
