NFT NYC 2025

July 4, 2025

It’s been a busy and momentous year so far. Since ETH Denver and GDC, I’ve been head down delivering a quality experience for ON1 Force just in time for my next stop at NFT NYC. It was a fast-paced two-day visit, full of networking and making new friends. My goal? Showcase ON1 Force and Gladiator’s progression, and connect with new creators and people who share the same passion. Day one, I met some great artists, explored the art exhibits, and made my way to the PizzaDAO event downtown, always a priority because the vibes are unmatched. Hung out with Yonks and Snax, and got to meet Anil, Vincent, Jimi, and Rachel. All wonderfully awesome folks in the space. On day two, I started the morning at an NFT NYC talk on community building visiting and supporting Tom, a friend from last year, then met explored the venue more, meeting creators, and vendors. Later, I stopped by the Good Vibes Club party downtown, where conversations with new artists turned into wonderfully deep creative discussions. I wrapped up the day near Times Square with a beer at the Metal Warrior NFT launch party, good times talking NFTs, music, and comics. Before leaving the city, I had an impromptu meetup with fellow Victore alumni artist Corey Jones. We spent the afternoon at the MET, taking in the Sargent & Paris exhibit – a perfect cleanse from the punchy NFT art with some timeless traditional work. This trip was another step forward in growing the Gladiator project’s reach, and I’m learning a ton along the way. Meeting people in real life keeps reminding me of the value of shared experiences beyond our screens. I love the digital space, but it’s in the real world where deeper connections form and ideas come alive.
