The Mosaic Art NFT is composed of background and the “Astro Boy” Character created with more than 6,000 tiles. Each tile represents a single piece of Tezuka Osamu’s works or characters which when combined are integrated into one powerful picture. The Mosaic ART NFT will be a one-of-a-kind and actioned off with a starting bid of 10 ETH beginning on December 15, 2021, at 3:00 am (UTC). The auction will take place on Open Sea here and can be followed on Twitter @tezuka_art_nft.
