Though he has been a designer and illustrator for over nine years, Singh just minted his first NFT in February 2021. He created it after a friend mentioned to Singh that one of his past projects, called Toy Faces, would “work well as NFTs”. “Straightaway, I got a few bids,” said Amrit. Amrit Singh, who is based in New Delhi, India, went on to sell more NFTs of his Toy Faces on marketplaces like Foundation and SuperRare, in addition to commissions. Toy Faces are cartoon-like 3-D portraits of different people and characters, including Malala Yousafzai, Steve Jobs, and Frida Kahlo. They’re also non-generative, which means Singh created each one, one at a time. “Most of them are inspired by people who have inspired me,” In addition to his Toy Faces, Singh also designed and sold another project called Toy Rooms, which is a collection of 3-D illustrations depicting different rooms, including a cave from Disney’s “Aladdin,” a hobbit’s study from “The Lord of the Rings” and the living room from “The Simpsons.” For me, these rooms were gateways to a world of possibilities and childlike wonder during the pandemic, mostly bound to my room in complete isolation, I rekindled my love for 3-D illustrations through this collection. Singh has primarily invested his earnings in other artists by buying their NFTs. He has spent over 30 ether, or over, on NFTs to display them in the metaverse. I bought virtual galleries, land, and a cafe that’s basically a museum for Toy Faces and other art I collect from artists that I really admire.
