Aku: Chapter II by Micah Johnson

It’s not often you hear a Major League Baseball player trading in his bat for a paint brush but that is exactly what Micah Johnson did in 2018. What started as a way to escape the anxiety and pressure of playing a professional sport has turned into a full-time vocation. His works that feature strong gestural charcoal lines complemented with subtle vibrant colors have been collected through out the world.
Aku was welcomed into the world nearly 2 months ago in historic fashion right here on Nifty Gateway. The community that rallied that day helped launch a phenomena that is now set to become the first NFT to be optioned by a major production studio. The Aku Movie will be produced by Anonymous Content, and executive produced by Shawn Mendes and Andrew Gertler via joint venture Permanent Content.
