SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Erotic digital artwork marketplace NaftyArt announced today that the platform has sold its first million-dollar digital asset — a series of 69 Kama Sutra cards from the Middle Eastern-American artist Interdit.
Interdit, whose moniker means “forbidden” or “prohibited” in French, chooses to remain anonymous on the site, but now that his collection of playing cards depicting the 64 positions of the Kama Sutra (and five others that were added later), will likely become well-known after fetching a million dollars from a collector.
“For years I have been creating my art in secret, to finally get the opportunity to show my work is incredible,” Interdit said. “Never did I think it would sell so quickly, giving me a life-changing amount of money. It really is a dream come true.”
The sale comes right as NaftyArt makes its official launch, following a six-week period in which erotic artists from around the world have been uploading their works to the platform – with many works being purchased by collectors before the site has even fully launched.
“The popularity of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) has given erotic artists a platform, but many have found their work shadow-banned and placed as low priority on the mainstream NFT marketplaces,” Nafty noted in its announcement. “NaftyArt, part of the Nafty adult ecosystem, was created specifically with adult creators in mind, offering them a safe space to display, promote and sell their art.”
Nafty CEO Rob Kemenyfi observed that erotic art “has been popular since the ancient times, and we are excited to bring it in to the 21st century in the form of NFTs.”
“With top adult models, artists and creators on board, we are certain that we are creating an exciting new space for a huge market,” Kemenyfi added.
Along with ‘traditional’ artists, NaftyArt also features a large collection of adult creators minting NFTs as a means of generating revenue and monetizing content, seeking an alternative income source in the aftermath of OnlyFans’ recent content policy flip-flop.
“We are proud and excited to have developed an ecosystem of platforms, which, along with our Nafty Token, puts the power and earning potential into the hands of the creators,” Kemenyfi said. “At last, they can be justly rewarded without giving away large percentages on fees.”
