# Seed Packet-Inspired NFT Art Lucien Smith Unveils His First NFT Project Titled, 'SEEDS' By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2021-12-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucien-smith References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2021/12/lucien-smith-seeds-nfts) New York City-based visual artist and filmmaker Lucien Smith has announced the launch of his very first [NFT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-abundance) project, 'SEEDS.' The new digital series draws inspiration from the [plant seed packets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-stories) commonly found at garden centers and home department stores. Lucien has imbued each 'SEED' with over 40 possible traits such as seed type, color scheme, and more. As a result, the collection includes a wide variety of exclusive artworks with some being rarer than others. For example, a handful of 'SEEDS' will only be available for purchase through [OpenSea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereal-club), a popular peer-to-peer NFT marketplace. In addition, proceeds from the collection will go towards Smith's non-profit, Serving the People, which aims to make the arts more accessible to young artists. For those interested in getting their hands on a 'SEED,' the presale begins tonight on Lobus.
