Oasis Client Gourmet NFT to Adopt New Technology to Automatically Generate NFTs as Purchased

Recipes from famous restaurants, award-winning culinary talents, and chef's kitchen recipes available as digital collectibles online and in-restaurants and other facilities.

"Having grown up in a music-business family, it has always frustrated me that Chefs and recipe creators don't get treated like rock stars. With Gourmet NFT we take their creations from the butcher block to the blockchain and provide them with an iTunes®-type platform to sell their downloads and earn residuals when the recipes change hands" said Ruth McCartney CEO and Digital Diva of McCartney Multimedia.

TORONTO, ON, LOS ANGELES, CA, and HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2021 / Oasis Digital Studios Limited ("Oasis"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc.(CSE:LQID) (OTCQB:LQAVF) (FRA:4T51), a global blockchain, digital identity and fintech solutions company, is providing an update to its announcement on October 19, 2021 regarding the launch of Gourmet NFT, a new platform that will create NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and other digital collectibles for restaurant, tournament, secret and chefs' own kitchen recipes. Gourmet NFT will enable foodies, fans and those that just want to be better and more diverse cooks to collect, organize and own legendary recipes. As part of the founding group and exclusive agency for this program, earning up to 35% from each sale, Oasis is aiding in the development of new technology to enable recipe holders to use their NFTs as "keys" to unlock web features for easy access to online videos, recipes and exclusive information and tips. NFTs can be resold, allowing new holders to have access to the online content.

With the recent launch of Oasis' client Aftermath Islands and its success and upcoming new technology positioned to create autogenerated NFTs from virtual land sales, Gourmet NFT has elected to adopt this new technology, and has pushed back its launch until early 2022 as it continues to grow its roster of Chefs, doubling from 15 countries in October to over 30 presently. This process also allows patrons to buy digital recipes directly from a menu or "real world" locations directly from a displayed QR codes.

"This new technology, developed primarily for Aftermath Islands by our partners at Masscult using their Waxify App, will enable recipes to be easily delivered on the fly as they are purchased," said David Lucatch, CEO of Liquid Avatar Technologies, and Managing Director of Oasis Digital Studios. "In discussing this new opportunity for Gourmet NFT, we all believed that this would be a significant benefit and worth the short wait. This also gives us a potential opportunity to use PayPal and Coinbase, repeating the current success that Oasis is having with Aftermath Islands."

With over 600 recipes already submitted, Gourmet NFT advises that it is expected to start testing this quarter with the new technology. Gourmet NFT is among the first professional platforms to empower the culinary industry to create residual value from their famous and unpublished recipes. Gourmet NFT has amassed almost 500 leading restaurateurs, executive, private, celebrity and award-winning Chefs whose accolades include James Beard nominations and awards; Michelin Star recognition; A5 Wagyu Certification; UK's prestigious AAA 3 Rosette awards; Food Network, Discovery Channel and Fox TV featured Chefs as well as Instagram / social media sensations. Gourmet NFT enables these culinary experts to share their family, secret and restaurant favorites directly on the upcoming sales pages or through active QR codes that can be scanned at their website and / or restaurant for easy purchase.

As part of the founding group and exclusive agency for this program, earning up to 35% from each sale, Oasis is leading the development of new technology to enable recipe holders to use their NFTs as “keys” to unlock web features for easy access to online videos, recipes and exclusive information and tips.  NFTs can be resold, allowing new holders to have access to the online content.

According to Foodnetwork.com and their article The Biggest Food Trends We’ll Be Talking About in 2021, 2020 saw online grocery sales increasing by 53% and foresees the growth in online grocery sales continuing as the pandemic disrupted the way people cook and eat.  With millions of North Americans spending more time at home, cooking everything from cookies to family meals has increased and many people are venturing to expand their culinary expertise.  Users will be able to search the site by mealtime, allergen, food ingredients and a whole host of meta tags to hone in on the recipes they wish to download and collect in their wallet. Meanwhile Chefs and culinary creators will have a way to augment their income with residual royalties from their digital downloads.

Recipes will range in price allowing everyone who is interested in expanding their food knowledge and culinary repertoire to collect Gourmet NFT recipes. There will also be a higher price range for the true “unobtanium” type of recipes that fall into off-menu or “secret sauce” categories. In addition, a select few Chefs will be offering a one-off experiential NFT opportunity ranging from dinner with the Chef in person, to skip-the-line / golden ticket offerings for those impossible to get into restaurants.

“Chef and I have worked together on several projects over the last few years, including branding his Kemah, TX based Meticulous Spirits Distillery, and filming his record-breaking brainchild event “Around The World In 10,000 Bites”, where Chef and 43 of his closest, world-renowned chef friends from 10 countries fed a 101 course meal to 120 diners in the dinosaur exhibit of the Houston Natural History Museum. We’ve always had our eye on technology integration for marketing using QR, and now AR labels, and when we came up with GourmetNFT.com, the concept just seemed to fit right into the futuristic perception of Chef David’s reputation” said Ruth McCartney CEO and Digital Diva of McCartney Multimedia.

May Pang guests on Teaflix Tuesday

Insider stories about John Lennon, UFOs, Walls and Bridges and more from the lady that was a witness to history…May Pang.

#JohnLennon- ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED FACES OF THE 20TH CENTURY

#JohnLennon- ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED FACES OF THE 20TH CENTURY - WHOSE MUSIC CHANGED THE WORLD - COMES ALIVE IN THE NEW #MayPang DIGITAL #NFT DROP. https://MayPangGallery.com #NFTS #CryptoCollectibles #LimitedEdition #FineArt #iconsofinstagram #rare #waitlist #beatlesart #maypang

TORONTO, ON and VANCOUVER, BC and ERIE, PA and LOS ANGELES, CA and NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 10, 2021 / Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID)(OTC PINK:TRWRF)(FRA:4T51), ImagineAR Inc. (IP)(IPNFF), McCartney Multimedia Inc. and Oasis Digital Studios proudly announce a truly historical collaboration, revealing new, never-before-seen photos of Rock Legend, John Lennon, that drops for viewing today, as part of an exclusive group of 15 limited edition photographic and animated NFTs with AR enhancements, that recount the original inspiration of John’s Walls and Bridges album cover art. Music enthusiasts and John Lennon fans will be able to purchase these NFTs in two special offerings, as original format, variations, and cinematics, starting May 19th, gaining digital ownership of a representation of a very personal time in his life. Most of these photos have never been seen publicly before and have been preserved as part of music history.

“I’m proud to share these portraits of John, which became the inspiration for the Walls and Bridges album artwork as NFTs, allowing music fans and collectors the opportunity to own a piece of music history,” said May Pang, artist, and ex-partner of John Lennon. “I have kept them in my personal collection for almost 50 years and I am excited to present them in this new and innovative form. I know that John, a man of music and art who was always well ahead of his time, would have been excited to experience the emergence of NFTs.”

This commemorative moment is made possible through Oasis Digital Studios. A preview of the collection has been made available, as of Sunday, May 9th, marking John’s affinity for the number 9 at https://oasisdigitalstudios.com/nft-marketplace/

“We are very excited to launch this historical collaboration showcasing, through NFTs and augmented reality, an amazing time in John and May’s life and work together,” stated David Lucatch, Managing Director of Oasis and CEO of Liquid Avatar. “It’s been an honor to work with May to share this personal collection of hers during a very cherished time in her and John’s life and open them to music fans around the world as cinematically and Augmented Reality enhanced NFTs. We’re grateful and honored to be able to bring these iconic photos to millions of John’s fans around the world.”

Walls and Bridges Album Cover Artwork – The Unknown Story.

The album cover for Walls and Bridges featured some of John Lennon’s childhood drawings, including one portraying a game of football, specifically the goal scored by George Robledo in the 1952 FA Cup Final. That drawing also featured Newcastle United’s number 9, Jackie Milburn; as a child, John lived at 9 Newcastle Road and it, along with his birth date, October 9th, fueled a lifelong fascination with that number. The album also features a series of photos of Lennon’s face with different expressions. The front cover contained two flaps which, when folded, created several interchangeable “Lennon faces,” some of them silly. This is where May came in.

While discussing the creation of the album cover, John and May had an idea. They went up to the rooftop of the Record Plant Studios where he was recording at 321 W. 44th Street in NYC, and she started to take fun and candid photographs of John with her Nikon 35mm camera, capturing the playful essence that was the true John Lennon.

When the photos were developed, which you see now on the official landing page for the sale of these images as NFTs, they were well-received, but the 35mm format was not the right size for the album design requirements, and unlike digital images today, nothing could be done to change that back in 1974.

New photographs were taken by photographer Bob Gruen, based on the concept and designs that John and May created and the final art for the album was credited to Capitol’s in-house designer Roy Kohara. May’s photographs of John are a combination of works done both at the Record Plant Studios and John and May’s home rooftop.

Walls and Bridges – The Album

In September 1973, while separated from 2nd wife Yoko, John and May Pang left New York for Los Angeles to promote Mind Games and began an 18-month relationship, which John affectionately and publicly referred to this period of his life as his “Lost Weekend.”

While there, John embarked on a recording project — a collaboration with Phil Spector, to record and produce an album of the old rock ‘n’ roll songs that inspired John to become a musician. The album, Rock ‘n’ Roll, was ultimately completed in New York using the same musicians he used on Walls and Bridges.

Walls and Bridges was John’s the fifth studio album and captured his mindset and feelings in the midst of the “Lost Weekend.” The album was released by Apple Records on September 26, 1974 in the United States and on October 4, 1974 in the United Kingdom. Walls and Bridges was an American #1 album in all three trade papers, Billboard, Cashbox and Record World and included two hit singles, “Whatever Gets You Thru the Night” which hit #1 and was John’s first and only number-one hit as a solo artist in his lifetime and “#9 Dream” which fittingly peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #23 on the British singles chart.

The Walls and Bridges album was certified gold in the US and silver in the UK. As a surprise from John, May was awarded an RIAA, Recording Industry Association of America Gold Record for her contributions to the album.

About May Pang

May Pang was born in 1950, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, she grew up in New York’s Spanish Harlem. May is best known for her 18-month relationship with John Lennon, often referred to as “The Lost Weekend” and her subsequent marriage to music producer, Tony Visconti. May is also a successful photographer, author and jewelry designer with her work represented around the world. Her intimate and truthful portraits of John Lennon during their time together are of significant importance, with rare images of John and his first son, Julian. In addition to working for Apple Records and Lennon, May also worked in music publishing / A & R for Island Records and United Artists. In 2010 May launched her own line of Feng Shui jewelry and subsequently the Linda Mai collection, an exquisite range inspired by her mother’s extraordinary fashion sense and jewelry designs, crafted entirely from vintage Swarovski crystals that her mother used back in the day.

TORONTO, ON / VANCOUVER, BC / ERIE PA and LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 21, 2021 / Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID)(OTC:TRWRF)(FRA:4T51) (“Liquid Avatar Technologies” or the “Company“,), a global blockchain, digital identity and fintech solutions company together with ImagineAR Inc. (IP)(IPNFF), an Augmented Reality platform company, are excited to announce that Oasis Digital Studios (“Oasis”) together with McCartney Multimedia, Inc. and renowned photographer and artist, May Pang are launching the May Pang Gallery. The Gallery will feature an exciting array of photographic and visual artists and their works as Non-Fungible Token (NFT) to collectors through Oasis Digital Studios. The May Pang Gallery’s first NFT collection will feature legendary photographer Ken Davidoff.

Capitalizing on the response to her recently announced John Lennon’s “Lost Weekend” photographs, May Pang and McCartney Multimedia are working with a number of iconic artists and photographers to create an NFT gallery for the sale of visual art in the music and entertainment space. In the coming weeks and months, May Pang and Oasis will partner with some of the music industry and Hollywood’s most notable photographers and artists, starting with Ken Davidoff, to bring their work, including never released images, to the NFT market. A pre-sale list has been established at www.oasisdigitalstudios.com

Ken Davidoff has spent his whole life, since the early age of 4, immersed in art and by the time he was 8, he was a budding photographer. In 1966, at age 17 Ken was working part time as a professional photographer at his parent’s studio, the Davidoff Studio in Palm Beach, Florida. By 19, Ken got the opportunity to photograph The Miami Pop Festival with Jimi Hendrix. With this amazing opportunity under his belt, Ken was able to secure the position of official Photographer of the 1969 First Annual Music and Arts Festival of Palm Beach (The Palm Beach Pop Festival), a 3 Day Festival dubbed Woodstock South which closed with a performance by the Rolling Stones.

“Ken Davidoff’s photographs capture a moment in time that shaped the “baby boomer” generation. In partnership with Oasis, I am happy to feature his work at the May Pang Gallery,” commented May Pang, Curator – May Pang Gallery

Shooting legends like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, The Beach Boys, 38 Special, B.B. King, Dale Earnhardt, Harry Chapin, Rush, Loggins and Messina, Bob Segar, Johnny Winder and other iconic individuals and groups, Ken’s photographs portray historic images of the genesis of Rock n’ Roll.

Ken’s 55+ year professional career has focused on the art of the image, creating iconic stories behind the music and the photos. Some of his never-seen-before photographs will be available through the May Pang Gallery and Oasis Digital Studios as NFTs featuring, in Ken’s own words, the stories behind the images.

“Working with my old family friend May Pang has brought extra Joy to my daily routine of gathering and helping curate iconic rock ‘n’ roll images, as the family grows to now bring classic rock photographer Ken Davidoff into the world of NFTs, and under the wing of the May Pang Gallery. Who knew a day job could be this much fun?” said Ruth McCartney, Digital Diva, and founder of McCartney Multimedia.

ABOUT KEN DAVIDOFF

Rose Kennedy would call his home and tell him where the President was, as he loved to elude the Secret Service. The story is that the Secret Service put a “tail” on Ken’s Father so they would know where JFK was. In May of 1968 he photographed The Miami Pop Festival, the 1st East Coast Rock Festival, featuring Jimi Hendrix and The Experience. Over the course of 50 years Ken has photographed many other Rock Legends such as Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Johnny Cash, Elvis, and Bob Dylan.

So You Wanna DIY your NFTs?

SO YOU WANNA MINT YOUR OWN NFTs?

So, you want to jump on the NFT bandwagon, but don’t know where to begin.  Here are some questions to ask yourself before you embark on your NFT journey.

Or, if you’d rather get started with a professional agency that has years of experience in the industry, and who are leaders in digital and traditional marketing, and have had successes in the culinary, entertainment, music, media and technology sectors please click here 

OVERVIEW:

NFTs are coded with software code (called smart contracts) that govern aspects like verifying the ownership and managing the chain of custody and transferability of the NFTs. Like any software application, NFTs can be further programmed beyond the basics of ownership and transferability to also include a variety of other applications and functionality, including those linking the NFT to some other digital or even physical asset. As a bonus, an NFT’s smart contract can be written to automatically allocate a portion of the amounts paid for any subsequent, follow along or secondary sale of the NFT back to the original owner, thus giving the creator an ability to realize the benefits of the secondary marketplace. 

Thus, when someone makes (or “mints”) an NFT, they are writing the underlying smart contract code that governs the NFT’s qualities, which are added to the relevant blockchain where the NFT is managed. Notably, certain NFT marketplaces only function with certain blockchains, and so the choice of blockchain to use for an NFT can have real commercial implications for the seller both for the primary sale and any secondary sales. We are marketplace agnostic.

It’s important to do your own due diligence when considering creating NFTs.  Here are but a few items to consider when thinking aboutcreating an NFT:

1.
What blockchain are you going to write your NFTs to?

(a) Ethereum ERC-721 / ERC-1155

(b) Cardano, (if so) we will assume the following:

• You own (or have access to) a full Cardano-node

• You are at least a little bit familiar with the Cardano-CLI and its concepts

• You have an ada wallet with at least 2 ada.

• More details click here 

(c) Enjin’s Efinity powered by Polkadot

(d) Flow

(e) Wax

(f) Other (if so, which auction or sales platforms/houses work with that chain’s code?)
2.
Are you offering a series, runs or individual NFTs? If a series, how will your content provide uniqueness for each one? Audio? Video? Animation? 
3.
Will you straight up sell, or will you use an English or Dutch auction for your NFTs? If you’re considering an auction, what is your reserve or floor, and what are your bidding increments?
4.
Do you plan to do a “gift with purchase” one time experiential /physical offering with the first owner of any of your NFTs? If so, what is the out of pocket cost for that, and how much needs to be added to the auction/selling price?
5.
Do you plan to sell by Cryptocurrency exclusively, or will you need to facilitate a Fiat (regular banking) currency secure payment method for your demographic?
6.
Have you considered the issue of Securities and how different NFTs might be treated under various sale circumstances?
7.
How will you market / advertise / solicit your NFTs in accordance with federal and international guidelines for paid advertising and and necessary regulatory disclosures?
8.
How will you handle minting?
9.
If you are operating as a 5013(c) will you need to create a “trust wallet” to receive ETH payments through Counsel?
10.
Should you choose a marketplace that employs proof of work or proof of stake strategies?
11.
Do you know how to account for commission or gas fees in your pricing strategy?
12.
Are wrapped or sharded, also referred to as fractional NFTs, a good strategy for you to present a unique value proposition to your buyers for certain items?
13.
When choosing a digital wallet are you aware of, and can you account for the variety of service fees, transportability and banking regulations?
14.
When you hash your off-chain asset to an Interplanetary File System (IPFS) repo, what criteria should you use to determine where to pin it?

SUMMARY

In other words, you COULD also make sushi for yourself every lunchtime, But why on earth would you?

These are just a selection of the items that need to be considered very carefully.  Like any business, to succeed, you need to surround yourself with leaders that can help you reach your goals.

ImagineAR and Liquid Avatar say world-renowned Beatles painter Shannon will release AR-enhanced NFTs

Cryptocurrency Digital Media Veteran Ruth McCartney Brings Rock History To The Blockchain

Digital assets stored on the blockchain can be endlessly copied, but legal and finite ownership of original digital artwork, music and more is becoming the domain of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), now enjoying their moment in the cyber-sun as the hot cryptocurrency investment du jour.

Enter ex-Beatle and iconoclast, the late John Lennon. What’s the connection? It’s famed rock music photographer and jewelry designer May Pang who, as the story goes, went from personal assistant to paramour of Lennon in 1973 during an 18-month breakup from his wife, Yoko Ono.

In the annals of rock star indulgence, it’s known as Lennon’s infamous “Lost Weekend” in Los Angeles (again, lasting nearly two years) during which punches flew, substances were abused, public scenes ensued in L.A. watering holes, and late songwriter Harry Nilsson (“Everybody’s Talkin’ at Me” and “Me and My Arrow”) reportedly saved Lennon from a bad psychological slide.

Pang chronicled the entire affair (no pun intended) with her camera, capturing deeply personal moments of what turned out to be some of Lennon’s last years on earth. The Beatles co-founder was murdered outside of his New York City apartment building in December 1980.

Speaking with PYMNTS, Pang and Ruth McCartney, stepsister to Beatles co-founder Sir Paul, spoke of their partnership bringing a slice of Lennon history back to life.

Together with global blockchain solutions firm Liquid Avatar Technologies, augmented reality (AR) platform ImagineAR, Oasis Digital Studios and McCartney Multimedia, the parties are “bringing [Pang’s] personal and exclusive collection of ‘John Lennon’s Lost Weekend’ photographs featuring her intimate 18 months with the rock ‘n’ roll icon to the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collector market through Oasis Digital Studios,” per a statement.

Along with the sound of tens of millions of Lennon fans fainting at the prospect of owning these original sounds and images is the scramble for digital wallets as bidding begins.

Pang Partners With Sir Paul McCartney’s Digital-Savvy Stepsister On NFT Line

Pang knew the late icon better than most, telling PYMNTS, “John Lennon loved the idea of instant. So now … you have your [digital] camera and you go, ‘I don’t like that photo, [delete it] put the next one in,’ — he would love that more than anything else.” She added, “That’s where my book [title comes from], ‘Instamatic Karma.’ [It’s] a play on his song title.”

Perhaps a ripping Beatles cover song — “Money (That’s What I Want)” — would be the more appropriate citation when speaking about NFTs. Trade in NFTs began heating up earlier this year as everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was suddenly auctioning off their most famous digital assets, like Dorsey’s first-ever tweet.

For her part, McCartney and her Oasis Digital Studios are rocking her world-class Rolodex to bring digital ownership of even more amazing moments in pop culture to the crypto crowd.

“We’re not just taking photographs … and selling them as JPEGs,” McCartney said. “There is a whole multimedia component, in some cases augmented reality, in some cases cinematics. We’re turning these iconic photographs and paintings and pieces of pop culture … [into digital] audio and visual [NFTs].”

She added, “I think art is just following that natural progression of … drawings on cave walls to paintings in the Sistine Chapel, to something hanging on the wall in a collector’s place or the Louvre. We all live in our phones … so why wouldn’t we collect art digitally, especially if it’s protected in the blockchain?”

McCartney said she likes to call NFTs “non-forgeable tokens” to illustrate their unique digital attributes.

“I think it’s a lot more attractive because … how many great old masters have been counterfeited and ripped off? Well, with this medium, you can’t do it. So, it guarantees the owner exclusivity, and it guarantees the artist protection for their work.”

Among her next moves in the space will be foodie NFTs from the world’s top chefs, she said.
