MTV on-air graphics created in 1992 by Beau Tardy.

On-air graphics made for MTV in 1992 by Beau Tardy.

Here's a good example of some of the behind the scenes design work that would go into on-air graphics. On the right the logo I liked for MTV's Most Wanted and on the left the one that was chosen for broadcast. I was already channeling vaporwave vibes back in 1992! This work was done on Quantel Hal as part of our everyday duties of providing producers with on-air graphics and original designs.

 I have finally minted my first digital art NFT. This token is available for a short while as an auction on Mintable.app 

Beau Tardy Artist Poster
The first minted digital art NFT by Beau Tardy ©2021

I will be minting all of my digital art including brand new art and vintage digital art from my MTV days and before. I have been making digital art since taking the very first computer graphics class at Parsons School of Design, which then led to my career making TV art for the likes of MTV and VH1. This is a great way for me to share digital art with you without the risk of it being stolen and copied. The new NFT technology is going to change the world of digital art for the benefit of artists who like me have been hesitant to post digital art on social media because it is so easy to copy. Thanks for buying my art and feel free to ask me any questions about this new technology.

As an artist I am disappointed by the censorship on social media in America. Social media companies make billions of dollars using the free content that we upload. Then they get to decide who to promote and who to silence. My work and my speech are not the property of social media oligarchs. Therefore I have decided to stop uploading content to their servers and cancel all my social media accounts. I will begin deleting all my original content from my social media pages. If you want to follow my work please go to tardyartist.com. Thanks so much for your support.
