How does a traditional fine artist go from painting oil canvases in Scotland to pioneering Web3, augmented reality, and multi-million-dollar NFT drops? In this classic throwback episode of The Edge of NFT, host Josh Kriger sits down with world-renowned artist Trevor Jones.

Trevor shares his unconventional journey from failing as a young bassist in Vancouver to studying fine art at Edinburgh College of Art in his 30s. He details his earliest experiments with hand-painted QR code canvases in 2012, his shift to augmented reality (AR) storytelling, and his early 2017 entry into Bitcoin.

Discover the story behind his legendary Bitcoin Angel open edition drop, which grossed $3.2 million in seven minutes and how it funded his iconic, philanthropic Castle Parties. Trevor also reflects on collaborating with Web3 legends like Pak, Jose Delbo, and Alotta Money, while offering invaluable advice on maintaining authenticity and long-term vision as an artist.
