I recently wrote about the new AtomicAssets NFT standard [in this post July 1, 2020](https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@crrdlx/a-great-leap-forward-for-nfts-a-test-mint-tutorial-of-the-new-atomicassets-nft-protocol-at-atomichub-io-using-the-wax-blockchain). The gist of the write-up was that it's very easy to make NFTs at [AtomicHub.io](https://wax.atomichub.io/). The gist of *this* post is that it's also fun.

AtomicAssets went live June 30 and I started a "collection" of NFTs I called "stickypeople" then. The thinking was that I'd test the format by drawing simple stick person doodles to make into NFTs. And, due to an EOSIO idiosyncrasy, things need to have *exactly* 12 letters or numbers (but, only numbers 1 through 5, what?). Anyway, "stickypeople" has exactly 12, so there it is. 

I have a pretty strong urge to create, to imagine stuff and then to create stuff. So, this new-and-easy protocol has been great. Since setting things up, I've pushed the creative issue a bit further...trying to grasp a better handle on how the interface and buy/sell process works. Yesterday, I got my first sale! It was about one dollar, USD. Yahoo! That's not much, but it certainly pays much more in feelings of pride.

I'll include here a few of the gif NFTs I've created. I decided to make only one of each...as if they're actually rare *art*. At least they're rare!

The first I made was very, very simple. I wanted to just make something and test the system. It was a man tipping his top hat.

The second was a bit more complex...a ballerina doing a spin.

For the third, I wanted to go a bit further and let the NFT tell a mini-story. Since boyhood, I've liked boomerangs. I once made one from plywood, and it was awesome and worked great, until my brother broke it (another story). I made the third NFT as a boomerang "tale" that went awry...

You hopefully can see the playful, quirkiness in this little story that has made this endeavor such fun. My wife chuckled.

I've made a few others so far and have more ideas. I may post some here (kinda pondering on that). However, if you want to see what I've got so far, they're over on [nefties.com](http://nefties.com/), just click the ["stickypeople" image](http://nefties.com/doku.php?id=stickypeople).

Lastly, just as an encouragement to anyone thinking of maybe making your own NFTs, I say *give it a try*. [AtomicHub.io](https://wax.atomichub.io/) really does make it very doable. 

And, like I said, it's fun.
