As a multi-faceted artist, Jim’s artistic works have given his fans a glimpse into his mind but more so his spirit. Originally a painting, Sunshower has evolved into an animated NFT that comes accompanied by Jim Carrey’s voice and uplifting philosophy.
The SunShower Auction
The event will begin with a 24-hour countdown to the auction start time at 12 pm PT/3 pm ET tomorrow, June 9th, with a starting price of $1. After the sale, a portion of the revenue will go to Feeding America’s nonprofit organization. As Jim Carrey’s first NFT artwork, the piece was produced in association with filmmaker David Bushell.
According to Jim, he created SunShower directly from acrylic paint tubes. Then, the background colors were “poured, and the canvas was “scraped,” which left a mere “imprint” of each color. Jim continued, expressing that this technique was a thrilling collaboration with chance. As well as “a long climb to a daring cliff dive.”
Carrey’s day-to-day practice of creating thrived in drawing and painting while working in traditional fine-art formats. However, after engaging with Twitter, Jim began to digitize and animate his pieces to suit the medium better.
“I had merely begun to experiment with bringing my art to life through simple animations when the NFT world opened up. To me, there could never be enough new places to create.”
