AND NOW

AND NOW brings together 35 works by Chicago artist Scott Smith, each presented as a one-of-one NFT. Selected with Scott at Anixter Center, they form the first published collection of The Chicago Car Archive. For more than thirty years, Scott has drawn the vehicles around him: cars, taxis, police cruisers, and CTA buses. His drawings bring front, side, and rear into a single view. His handwritten words name their details. “AND NOW” is how he introduces them. Together, the works preserve a view of Chicago shaped by decades of looking, remembering, and drawing. The collection is published by North of 80 as a Weight of Value project, with the participation and approval of Scott and his family. All primary-sale proceeds and all creator royalties received from secondary sales benefit Scott Smith and his family. North of 80 and Weight of Value receive no proceeds or royalties and are not paid or reimbursed for the project. Each NFT corresponds to an original work on paper. Physical artwork is not included in the NFT purchase; separate collection terms apply. Copyright remains with Scott Smith.
