While many celebrities have launched non-fungible token (NFT) collections, a number of NFT compilations have featured deceased luminaries. Legends like Jerry Garcia, Kurt Cobain, Muhammad Ali, Elvis, Tupac and more have been featured in NFT collections. This Saturday, Ethernity and Bruce Lee's family will release the renowned martial artist's first NFT collection called "The Formless Form."
Hong Kong and American martial artist, martial arts instructor, film star and philosopher Bruce Lee is a hugely popular pop culture icon. Lee is famous worldwide for his martial arts style and his roles in a number of feature-length martial arts films made in the early 1970s.
On January 8, 2022, the Bruce Lee Family Company and NFT Protocol Ethernity, will drop Lee's first NFT collection. Lee's NFT compilation aims to "commemorate the life and legacy of the martial arts pioneer, philosopher and global action film star," Ethernity's press release states.
According to the announcement, the NFT collection was “inspired by Bruce Lee’s philosophy and teachings.” Additionally, the artwork comes from artists such as Bosslogic, Raf Grassetti and Anthony Francisco. “My father believed in honest self-expression,” said Shannon Lee, chairwoman and CEO of the Bruce Lee Family Company and the One Family Foundation. Lee's daughter continued:
We are honored for the opportunity to collaborate with these extremely talented artists, whose artistic expression will help spread the positive message of Bruce Lee's philosophy and teachings to the world in an authentic way.
The Bruce Lee NFTs follow a number of well-known stars and celebrities who have passed away but are featured in non-fungible token art. During the first week of May, the Jerry Garcia Foundation, started the first NFT auction featuring the late Grateful Dead guitarist's art.
That same week, Ethernity partnered with Muhammad Ali Enterprises (MAE) to start was the first Muhammad Ali NFT collection and a never-before-seen Muhammad Ali artwork turned into an NFT auctioned from Sotheby’s at the end of July.
At the end of April 2021 there were never-before-seen photos of Kurt Cobain's iconic final photo shoot converted into an NFT collection. Mid-December, Makersplace revealed the first NFT collection based on Tupac Shakur's most famous jewelry.
Nick Rose, the CEO and founder of Ethernity, said during the announcement that the team is excited to bring the new NFTs to Bruce Lee fans. “We thrive on exploring possibilities for newly expanded worlds of important figures, and an incredibly influential figure like Bruce Lee is a perfect fit for our grand ambitions and efforts,” said Rose.
The Ethernity manager added:
We can't wait to offer Bruce Lee's fans new ways to celebrate his life's work, which our team has so many good feelings about.
