**The Secret Artist #2 — An Immutable Tribute** Whether you’re sipping whisky dressed in black standing next to a wooden casket in Scotland, or you’re singing and dancing dressed in red next to a fish-shaped “fantasy coffin” in Ghana, cultural traditions that deal with death are as varied as they are numerous. Many traditions are steeped in religion and beliefs surrounding the afterlife, while others take solace simply in the idea that their loved ones can live on through their memories. There are many ancient customs which seem bizarre to us now, but perhaps if we could look forward in time, we would be equally as confused by the shape of death and its future rituals. For now, we can remember those who are no longer with us through existing cultures and traditions, such as the Latin American sugar skulls (Calaveras), which have been placed at altars on the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) for centuries. The Secret Artist who carefully designed this piece has instead swapped sugar for pixels, and an altar for an immutable blockchain. Hidden in its detail are personal tributes, symbolising a life that has passed. — The Merchant of Venus, Curator of The Secret Art Project *** "An Immutable Tribute" is a unique 1/1 piece from The Secret Artist Project *** **The Secret Artist Project** A new art world inspired by NFTs opens up creative opportunities for artists and curators. The Secret Artist Project approaches innovative artists from inside and outside of the NFT community for a piece of their original work. This puts the focus on *the art* and not *the artist*. If you like the art, then buy it. Simple. The Secret Artist Project has no Discord, no Telegram, no overambitious roadmap. However, there is one very special extra you receive with your NFT from The Secret Artist Project, and that is... **The Artist** While their identity remains a mystery to everyone else, the artist's details will be revealed to you after purchasing the NFT — as if you've discovered their signature scrawled on the back of their painting. So now you not only have the art to display/hang in your little corner of the Metaverse, you also have the opportunity to discover more of the artist’s work. In addition, you have also become part of The Secret Artist Project community. Your membership requires you to simply hold the NFT and keep the sacred vow *never to reveal the artist’s identity*. Those who hold secrets, hold power. Who knows, there may even be future incentives for community members able to keep their lips tightly sealed... **The Secret Art Project Aims** Positively impact the artist by putting their art first Introduce new artists to the NFT space (though we reserve the right to include a well-known artist too!) Feature only art we love and collaborate only with artists we trust (i.e. no nasty JF-style surprises) *** — The Merchant of Venus, Curator of The Secret Art Project If you have any questions, or if you’re an artist who would like to feature their artwork in the project, please visit The Secret Artist Project collection for contact details/socials https://opensea.io/collection/the-secret-artist-project
