Rick and Morty creator to auction crypto art for Ethereum

Crypto-collectibles have grown sharply in popularity of late, echoing the CryptoKitties bubble from a few years back.

Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland will auction new original artwork for cryptocurrency via Nifty Gateway next week.

The crypto-collectable marketplace teased one of Roiland’s crypto artworks on Twitter early Thursday, and noted the full collection will be auctioned starting January 19.

We are thrilled to welcome @JustinRoiland to Nifty Gateway for his first ever crypto art release! The full collection features several original artworks from Justin and will go live next Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 7 pm ET. pic.twitter.com/cHppLujZlo

Roiland’s first crypto artwork is… a little low effort.

Crypto-collectables — or Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) — have grown sharply in popularity of late, echoing the CryptoKitties bubble from a few years back.

Monthly NFT sales hit an all-time high in December when $8.2 million worth of blockchain-powered art was sold via auction houses like Nifty Gateway.
