A 12-year-old teenager has earned around Tk 3.5 crore by making and selling his own pixelated artwork during school holidays. The name of the London teenager is Benyamin Ahmed.
Benyamin is keeping his earnings in the form of Ethereum- the crypto-currency in which the art works were sold. The NFT he has deposited worth 290,000 Pound Sterling in a digital wallet.
Benyamin’s series of artwork is titled ‘Weird Whales’. He created this digital artwork by creating a total of 3,350 whale emoji memes through programming.
The boy coded for 20-30 minutes every day including holidays.
He has also created artwork like the Minecraft game before. But those were sold at a very low price. He already has started working on his third series artwork on the Super Hero theme. Besides, he is going to make an ‘underwater game’ with whales.
Benyamin’s father Imran Ahmed, who is a software engineer by profession, confirmed that all his work will be protected under the intellectual property law. He said Benyamin started coding when he was only five years old and his brother Yusuf was only six.
