Over the past several months, Joyce Lee's works of bubblegum-fantasy-pop-surrealist-erotica has been repeatedly stolen by NFT scammers who snatch screengrabs, alter them to some degree, then attempt to pawn them off as their own
Every morning, Joyce Lee says, she is afraid to check her Instagram DMs “because I might read from someone that my art was stolen again. This kind of art theft will never disappear as long as I keep creating art.”, the rise of non-fungible tokens has been less a mystery than a threat.
All of this is a very new take on an old problem. Forgery and art fraud goes back to the Renaissance, and even the great Michelangelo once doctored a painting in order to pass it off as ancient and increase its value. But armies of IG followers coming to bat against global NFT platforms? Things have gotten decidedly 21st century.In a nutshell, an NFT is a piece of digital data that is distributed across a global network called a “blockchain.
Joyce Lee, for example, built her following by offering her uniquely titillating art directly to her audience. It’s hard to imagine that she’s garnered any boost in recognition from stolen NFT art that doesn’t even attempt to credit her work. “It’s really hard to describe it,” Lee said of her work, “because I just draw what comes into my mind each time, even without any practical purpose. I rather want to hear how people define my art in the future. I really enjoy exploring the humanistic and humorous aspects of love and sexuality through the symbolism of the human body, especially woman’s, sometimes in provocative ways. I want people to get excited, blush, and imagine something more by seeing my art.
“The pandemic has forced all of us all to turn inwards, but the extra amount of time isolated at home has provided me with more artistic inspiration. My followers on Instagram have sent me a lot of DM saying things like, ‘Your art has really helped me get through all the depressing news lately. Thank you!’ My intention with my art wasn’t to offer an escape for others, but it’s been very rewarding to see that my work has had this effect.
