Benyamin Ahmed, the London boy of twelve years old is recently in the news because of a big achievement in his life. At this small age, when other children used to either study their school syllabus or remain busy in different games, little Benyamin broke the record by acquiring coding knowledge and creating Weird Whales, a pixelated artworks series. He did it in his free time when his school was off due to holidays. He also sold NFTs for his pixelated artwork and earned £290,000.
Though the buyer never gets copyright and the original artwork through NFTs, he gets a certificate of possession of the artwork in digital mode.
Benyamin’s parents are really proud of him for his success. Imran, Benyamin’s father, confessed that he used to make his children learn to code. Being a software developer, he had a fondness for coding and that he wants to develop in his children. At first, he used to make them learn it when they were 5 and 6 tears old, for just making it their past-time or fun-time. But gradually, as he saw that his children were getting more and more involved in coding and also had an interest in deep knowledge of coding, he took it seriously. He also made every possible arrangement from arranging technological devices to hiring teachers or specialists of coding to make their children experts in coding.
The facts that Benyamin has done such a phenomenal job and has secured his income in the form of crypto-wealth are still unknown to his classmates. When asked for some tips for achieving success, Benyamin said that each child must follow his/her own passion for achieving success. It’s not necessary that they always have to learn to code just because their elders force them to do so. They can follow dancing, cooking anything- anything that gives them satisfaction. One only gets success if he blindly follows the thing he likes the most.
At present, Benyamin is saving his income amount in the crypto-currency form, Ethereum as Weird Whales was sold in that form of crypto-currency only. So, undoubtedly, a risk regarding the rise and fall of the amount is there. Also, the possibility of hacking his digital wallet is a matter of concern.
The 12 years old London boy has created several videos on his pastime activities on YouTube. Such activities of him include coding, taekwondo, swimming & playing badminton.
Initially, the two boys, Benyamin & his brother, used to take coding as a fun activity. But, afterward, as time passed on, both of them realized that they must take it somewhat seriously and since then they spend twenty to thirty minutes/ day in coding classes.
For your information, this is not the first time he created pixelated art. Before Weird Whales, he has also made a Minecraft-inspired set, which does not gain much popularity and was sold less.
But, this time, his Weird Whales pixelated art has become much popular. And, his inspiration for this art came from a renowned whale meme image in pixelated format and another well-known digital art style. He has formulated a set of 3350 whales of emoji types in his Weird Whales art.
After getting success with the creation of Weird Whales, the small boy of 12, has become so confident that he has already started working on his third plan, which is on a superhero-themed collection. Also, he has confessed in front of the media about his future plan of creating an underwater game.
Showing full reliance on his son, Imran said that he is sure that Benyamin will never get stuck in any copyright issue as the art is a unique creation by his son. He has also hired lawyers for auditing his son’s work. He told the media that his son’s work is similar to “digital Pokemon cards” and the realization of its historical importance by the buyers made it a huge success.
His father clarified it with an example of the printing press that how famous the printing press is in terms of its historical importance. Similarly, the artwork of his 12-year son will also become historically important one day and with this vision, the collectors purchased it.
Benjamin is now busy with his superhero-themed art and is doing it with full passion. We want to discover what is in his card next and how popular the next artworks of this little boy become. Also, we would like to know if the digital wealth of this little boy will one day become his real wealth or not. We are curious as you are. Well! Let’s wait together and watch.
