NFTb, the Complete Multi-chain NFT and DeFi Platform for Communities, today announced a strategic partnership with Imperium Universe, a NFT Talent Agency created to help Malaysian artists and celebrities engage their fans by launching digital collectables.

Imperium Universe is a blockchain sales-and-marketing services firm. The team brings years of experience working in blockchain and luxury lifestyle marketing. As part of the company’s natural progression, Imperium Universe is looking to bridge creators of Southeast Asian artworks with NFT collectors, paving the way for a new segment to discover the works of talented Malaysian artists.

“We are thrilled and happy to undertake this partnership with an artist-first NFT marketplace such as NFTb,” said Jason Kwong, CEO of Imperium Universe.

“We are impressed by the quality of artworks listed on the platform and will gladly assist our artists through the process of showcasing their creations to a wider audience. I believe the scene will continue to thrive as more participants in the cryptocurrency community cultivate an interest in the works of talented artists regardless of nationality and genre.”

Under this partnership, NFTb and Imperium Universe will work closely to drive the mainstream adoption of NFTs in the region and beyond. As a start, Imperium Universe will launch NFTs from notable artists Chang Lip Wei, Lefty Julian, Vinn Pang, along with popular local musicians Kaya and many more on NFTb’s Premium NFT marketplace.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Imperium Universe to accelerate the adoption of NFTs in the SEA region. We can’t wait to see the artists and celebrities embrace and new ways of engaging fans via digital collectables” said Tommy So from NFTb’s Chief Operations Officer.

Julian Kam, who goes by “Lefty” is a comic book artist. While adept at illustrating mutant zombie antiheroes and darker content, his current artworks are a quiet depiction of the culture and heritage of Penang, Malaysia. Based on his childhood experiences, these include the acclaimed Marking George Town steel rod sculpture series, Pulau Tikus Community Stories that was featured as graphic art at local bus stops and the Butterworth Heritage Interpretation panel series. His latest Sama-Sama: A Multicultural Art Journey is a featured exhibition at this year’s George Town Festival.

[There are those in the scene who see versatility as a complication rather than a gift, but for Chang Lip Wei his foundation is built upon incredibly detailed line work, strong inks, and beautiful colors. Lip Wei is a highly sought-after commissioned artist and the scope of his capabilities extends to concept design, storyboarding, hand-painting and illustration.]
