In this episode, John sits down with Trevor Jones, whose journey bridges the worlds of traditional painting and crypto art. Trevor began his career later in life, studying fine art and working primarily with oil on canvas before experimenting with technology through QR codes and augmented reality. His curiosity eventually led him to Bitcoin and NFTs, where he found a global audience and a new way to share his work.
Trevor opens up about the struggles he faced as a painter, the risks he took blending art with emerging technology, and how projects like The Bitcoin Angel and his record-breaking open edition sale that generated $3.4 million became milestones in his career. We also dive into the highs and lows of the NFT community, the role of storytelling in his art, and what it means to create work that connects both physically and digitally in a rapidly evolving cultural landscape.
