” Jon’s Pizza Shop” NFT Project by Jon Burgerman

NYC-based and UK-born veteran contemporary artist, Jon Burgerman, is teaming up with the Taiko NFT team to create the very first NFT collection that enables collectors to combine their pizza slices into whole pies in exchange for physical artworks and more. 

Jon’s Pizza Shop will feature over 120 uniquely hand-drawn attributes by Jon Burgerman that have been digitally generated into 6,666 pizza slices. Pizza Pie collectors will also get an opportunity to be awarded physical pizza artworks created specifically for this NFT series. There will be a total of 23 physical artworks and each piece will feature one of the attributes from the collection. The NFTs will be minted on the Solana blockchain, as the team see the low cost and high speed of transaction as appealing to fans who want to collect and combine their pizza slices for a special round pizza pie NFT.

“Pizza is something that has been represented in a lot of my work over the years. The idea of pizza, a food we all know and love to share, provides the perfect use for the medium artistically and technically. I am thrilled to work with Taiko NFT to bring my love for Pizza to a broader community!” – Jon Burgerman
