Where Art Meets Community

Nerdworth: A platform dedicated to celebrating pop art and modern slabbed art by preserving the stories, history, and creativity behind every piece.

Our Story

Nerdworth was founded with a passion for collecting and a deep appreciation for the stories behind each piece. We believe that understanding the provenance and history of slabbed pop art enriches the experience far beyond its monetary value. Nerdworth celebrates the modern slabbed art community by creating a platform dedicated to uncovering and sharing the narratives that make each piece unique and cherished.

Hi, I'm Ricky! As an artist, collector, and art enthusiast, I built Nerdworth to bring transparency and community to a growing world of pop and modern slabbed art. Growing up, I often heard that making a living as an artist wasn’t possible. Nerdworth exists to prove otherwise. Whether it’s tools for cataloging collections, transparent valuation, or a marketplace for original pieces, Nerdworth supports artists and collectors alike. Together, we’re building a platform that honors the stories, vision, and value behind each slabbed piece.

Meet Cheddar

Cheddar Beaksly Ducksworth, our beloved mascot, represents the playful artistry that fuels Nerdworth. Cheddar is inspired by my grandfather, a carpenter and painter who filled his workshop walls with hand-painted cartoons, barn scenes, and landscapes. Cheddar embodies the spirit of creativity and joy my grandfather instilled in me from a young age, encouraging me to embrace art as a way of life.

Though I never became an animator, as I once dreamed, Cheddar reminds me of the passion and ingenuity that drive Nerdworth. From his iconic beanie to his adventurous nature, Cheddar symbolizes the heart of Nerdworth: celebrating the art and the artists behind each piece.

Join Our Community

Nerdworth is more than just a platform; it’s a growing community of collectors and creators passionate about pop and modern slabbed art. By joining us, you’ll gain access to tools for tracking and valuing your collection, stay updated on drops and auctions, and connect with like-minded art lovers.

Artists and Brands

Nerdworth supports artists and studios of all mediums and techniques, whether traditional, digital, or AI-driven. We are genre-agnostic, welcoming everything from Pokémon-inspired pieces to bold political statements. Our focus is on the art, not the format, recognizing that the slab is simply a canvas for powerful messages and creative expression.

While pop art slabs have their roots in sports cards, Nerdworth is dedicated to showcasing modern pop art slabs as standalone pieces that transcend their origins. We empower artists to share their stories and connect with a community that values transparency, authenticity, and artistry.
