Johnny Depp Selling NFTs Of His Paintings Of Friends, Family And Heroes

Johnny Depp is selling over 10,000 unique NFTs of his paintings of friends, family, and personal heroes; the actor decided to release the non-fungible tokens (NFT), which is a distinctive and verifiable digital asset, under a collection name called “Never Fear Truth”. Original artwork was created, then embellished and animated to create digital portraits, in which some people included are Johnny Depp himself, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Hunter S. Thompson, Heath Ledger, daughter Lily-Rose Depp, Tim Burton, Johnny’s late dog Mooh, and a fictional character created by his son called Bunnyman.

The style of the artworks is a “mix of pop and street art, with images of pop-culture figures rendered in vibrant colours. The collection is the first public look at his paintings, which are said to be reflections of the individual’s character as Depp sees it”. Buying a “Never Fear Truth” NFT will allow owners access to Johnny’s exclusive community on Discord, a community platform for fans to collaborate on creative projects. 

It has been confirmed that 25% of all proceeds from the sales will be donated to charities, including the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, and The Gonzo Trust, which was created in the memory of Johnny Depp’s hero Hunter S. Thompson.

In a statement regarding his project, the 58-year-old actor said, “I’ve always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends and people I admire. My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves. We decided to release a series of portraits, but in a way that could also give something back. Having the opportunity to salute my supporters and support the charities that have been so important to my family is an incredible gift. I hope we can create a new community of friends around these NFTs. My involvement in the NFT space has just begun.”
