NFTs Explained with Justin Maller!
NFTs (non-fungible tokens) have likely been taking over your news feed in the last few weeks, as they certainly have ours.

This week, we take a brief moment to go over the fundamentals of NFTs and then chat with Justin Maller, a well-known digital artist and Chief Creative Officer at DeviantArt, to see the other side of the coin and how NFTs could be truly game-changing for digital artists like him.
