Legendary Comic book artist Todd McFarlane and Steve Aoki’s NFT Agency, Aoki Industries, announced the launch of OddKey.com today—an NFT marketplace powered by Metaplex. FarLane’s objective? To provide creators (including comic book authors) with a safe platform to showcase and sell their authentic digital art. Similar to his foray into Image Comics, OddKey empowers artists with the ability to control their own digital properties. The site will be a permissionless on-chain protocol for buying, selling, and auctioning collectibles natively on the Solana blockchain.

McFarlane has not sold any hand-drawn art in 30 years since the creation of Spawn in 1992. OddKey.com will mark the first time this century McFarlane has offered original digital art for sale.

“Steve and I wanted to help build a place where creators are in complete control of their work while retaining the vast majority of the finances. This same model made Image Comics, which I helped co-found in 1992, the third-largest publisher in North America (behind Marvel and DC Comics). Steve and I want to give that same freedom to creators in the NFT space… and let them know it’s a place formed by two leading artists instead of people in suits.”

The launch of OddKey will provide NFT comic and music fans with the opportunity to own original and authenticated digital works including original digital Spawn art for the first time ever.

Steve Aoki added:

“Music has always been what my life is rooted in, but I’ve been a passionate collector of collectibles and various forms of art for as long as I can remember. NFTs gave me an opportunity to finally merge art, collectible culture, and music in a way I’ve never been able to realize before. Working with a visionary like Todd to build OddKey.com can help raise independent artists to a whole other level.”

In advance of the full site launch, a raffle will be held for a lucky 6,666 registrants that register their crypto wallets on OddKey.com. They will receive the inaugural OddKey NFT, an authentic Todd McFarlane x Steve Aoki digital collectible with an array of “easter egg” surprise utilities.

Understanding the need to reduce the hefty environmental impacts of earlier cryptocurrency blockchains, OddKey’s storefront will live on the Solana blockchain utilizing Metaplex’s decentralized protocol marketplace. Any NFTs minted through Metaplex will be stored on Arweave, which backs data with perpetual payments, enabling creators to receive automatic payouts.
