Lindsay Lohan Is Selling A Furry NFT In Collaboration With 'Canine Cartel'
Lindsay Lohan is trending after recently announcing that she's selling an exclusive one-of-one NFT on OpenSea in collaboration with crypto art group Canine Cartel. The NFT shows Lohan as a furry, more specifically, as a dog or wolf fursona wearing a blue blazer and giving off very Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss vibes.

Lohan announced the NFT on Twitter yesterday, which goes up for auction on October 2nd at noon EDT. The fursona artwork was designed by the team over at Canine Cartel, a crypto art group that specializes in selling original fursonas as NFTs.
Understandably, Twitter had a lot to say about this sudden and strange announcement from Lohan, from criticisms about the artist forgetting to draw ears and a tail on the furry Lohan to simple confusion about why she would do such a thing.
Hey, whoever made the character forgot ears and tail. I went ahead, fixed and as you can see also minted it in the process. pic.twitter.com/QJ13YIppiu

This isn't the first time Lohan has stepped into the world of NFTs. In February, Lohan sold an NFT for $50,000, and in March, she sold a brand new single (her first in years) as an NFT. If this NFT attracts as much attention as those two, don't expect to get your paws on the Lindsay Lohan fursona NFT without paying a couple thousand bones.

There is going to be a un/ironic wave of lewds done of her fursona isn't?

Honestly that would be preferable to this whole NFT bs thing.

Edit: it gives me hope that despite her insane amount of followers, the tweet announcing this only has 1600 likes.
There are actual artists with just a fraction of her followers than can acomplish bigger numbers in less than a day.
So most people aren't blindily buying into this crap.

but they should. Artists and creators can gain a lot out of their digital work with NFTs, and I know that the emergence of NFTs was riddled with theft (which in my opinion reinforced it's necessity), most online marketplaces of NFT are strict about stolen art being used as an NFT. It didnt help, obviously, that there was then a massive faux-activist campaign of tying NFTs to causing climate change. But many, MANY professional artists are utilizing this, and they are expanding of what can be done with it, and it's creating an entirely new way for artists to monetize, and create interesting interactive content. And if there are more artists using, creating content, and making these tokens then there is a lot more input into which direction, and how these NFTs are traded. But…Artists have historically been notoriously bad at commercializing their work. It's sad, because we are entering an age where creatives are more in demand than ever before.
