First of all, I am deeply appreciative that I am selected to have a chance to give a presentation on Zoom and Youtube channel(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcBdXllgL14Ta3s9i4V2FLg) on the NFT project of Japanese Rock star Mr. Kiyoharu.
Mr. Kiyoharu is a very sophisticated Rock star in Japan and I love his music.
However, it is quite difficult for me to participate under the condition that I have received the invitation details of the NFT this morning. It seems that many of the participants have already received the invitation details of the NFT at least one month ago and have worked on it since.
This means that many of them had already enough time to develop a great work for the project.
I do my best for all my works and when I make NFT, I need the participation of the graphic designers etc as well for the best works.
At the present moment, under the time constraint, I could not make the great work which fits and represents Mr. Kiyoharu’s sophisticated image.
Moreover, I was not sure if I had the righst to hand in my works for the project because I did not receive the formal invitation. Yesterday, I heard via word of mouth that I need to submit my works through Opensea and to give presentation on Zoom and Youtube. All along, I thought I was not shortlisted.
I am deeply respectful of Mr. Kiyoharu and as an artist myself, I felt that it was rude to hand in a rushed work. Time and preparation are required for a satisfactory representation of my works and brand.
For these reasons, I have decided not to participate in this competition and session at this point in time.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to participate and I look forward to future participations and collaborations.
With my best regards, micasho.
