MANILA, Philippines — Eraserheads guitarist Marcus Adoro launched the Punk Zappa NFT Gallery “The Art of Marcus Adoro” recently at the Tago Jazz Bar in Quezon City.
Marcus, who also goes by the name Punk Zappa, ventured into the analog-meets-digital realm by transforming his paintings into one-of-a-kind digital collectible NFTs. His famous artworks were showcased in the NFT launch, such as that of the Abbey Road-inspired Eraserheads paintings.
In an interview with Philstar.com, Marcus said he began the idea when he’s cleaning his house during the pandemic.
“No'ng nag-pandemic, naglinis ako ng bahay. Ang dami kong Esquire Magazine na cover kami, 'yung naglalakad. May nagsabi na collector na lagyan ko daw ng doodle. Tapos gumawa ako ng isa, nilagyan ko ng clouds tapos pinost ko. Ang daming nag-message online tinatanong kung pwedeng magpagawa. Ang daming nagpagawa, nakagawa ako ng more than 20 no'n,” he said.
