Today Quality Importers Trading Company (QI) introduces the Global NFT Gallery Collection, a series of accessories that are based upon unique NFT artwork from around the globe.
The first two lines in this series are the “Havana Beauties” and “Calavera” and will start shipping to retailers nationwide next week.
QI believes in being a patron of the arts, and in the emerging NFT space it is increasingly easy to support budding digital artists. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique cryptographic tokens on the blockchain that can represent anything from digital art, real estate, to even a person’s identity. QI has taken a unique position to bring these digital works of art to life by creating a line of accessories with the goal of assisting artists in their endeavors. With every sale of these luxurious pieces of functional art, a portion of the proceeds will go to the artist to further support their work.
Michael Giordano, CEO and Founder of QI, exclaims:
“The NFT community is something I care deeply about. I am able to connect to artists digitally that I never would have discovered otherwise and offer them the unique capabilities here at QI to bring their art to the masses. Art is one of my passions, the walls at our office are covered in artwork I have acquired over the years, and through the SWAG BUNKER we can bring them to life beyond the screen and canvass.”

About Maryam Sadeghi
Hello, I am Maryam Sadeghi, an architect and self-taught artist. Recently I’ve started digital painting, illustrating and I release them as NFT pieces… “Indeed, in this turbulent world, perhaps we can polish our souls a little through art, what else but art can be the best expression of my emotions, while words are not enough… ! My designs are like song… and my pens are like piano keys that I try to play more every day…what can be the best language to express my feelings except art? What else but a beautiful song can soften our soul through our ears, and a painting through our eyes? Without saying a word?”
