How To Buy NFTs
So you want to buy a non-fungible token (NFT). Maybe you’re a technologist who wants a digital art collection to hang in your metaverse office. After all, Bill Gates says most virtual meetings will take place in the metaverse within the next three years. Maybe you want to find hidden NFT gems to sell for a gain because you expect them to rise in popularity. Or maybe you simply want a piece from that cool new collection as your social media avatar. The reason could be different, but the process remains the same.

Gabriel Martinez talks with Robert Boyd about Charles Burns, Gary Panter, and the art of underground comics.

The Literature and Language Reading Room is what I would consider a semi-hidden gem amidst the physical spaces that make up UIUC’s massive and impressive library. Lined with massive windows and perimeter bookshelves, it’s difficult to physically miss. However, to gain the full aesthetic experience, one needs to linger. Understandably, this is a difficult task for a busy student. Trust me…I know. However, if you feel the time has finally come to check it out, I highly encourage you to drop in while the newest exhibit, Image + Verse: Poetry Inspired by Art, is still on display.
As both an art and poetry enthusiast, it felt like a dream come true to hear about the library’s collection being highlighted in this way. Two glass cases greeted me at the entrance, and I immediately spotted a few of my favorite collections bookmarked and propped open.

I couldn’t help but wonder more about their ideas and inspirations.
