Issue #5
Hey, on-chain gang! 👊
Welcome to Issue #5! Hope you all are having a good weekend. We have some recently minted out collections we want to share, a couple of good Twitter threads worth reading, and some great collections coming soon. On-chain collections are continuing to rip. Life is good! But first, we have a sponsor!
👽 Sponsor 👽We are pumped to be working with Alien Gringos and to talk about their upcoming drop. Alien Gringos is a 24 x 24 Pixel art style NFT and ORDINAL collection of 10,000 on both ETH and BTC. It is dropping on November 25th at 11 am EST. Their goal is to create a town square for on-chain NFT and Ordinal collectors to share and learn from one another. Alien Gringos love Tacos, but one thing they like more than Tacos is trading, and this is why a big chunk of the sales made on the minting day will go to their very own Gringo-G with a big chunk of profits poured back into the Alien Gringo community each month! 2 Blockchains 2 Communities 1 Goal!! That’s something we can get behind. If you are interested, reply to join the allow list to mint for a discounted price. 🛸
Alright, let’s boogie! 🕺
⭐️ New Projects
We have some dope new featured projects to show today.
Treeangles
Nix.eth has recently created his first on-chain generative art project and it is pretty incredible! Not only is the art stunning, but the tech behind it is pretty next level. This project minted out in around 20 minutes and part of the proceeds will go to funding the planting of 4,500 trees. Check out his WIP post to learn about it. He will be tweeting more in the future describing the tech he used.
Panopticon
teto created a visual masterpiece in Panopticon which is meant to portray our interaction with technology. “Virtuality will overshadow the real world and people will mostly interact with avatars or robots. Innovation - if not mastered - will create even more social fracture instead of bringing people together.” Also, shout-out to our friend Tokenfox for working with him on this impressive project.
OnChainRocks
Our good friend Monas put out a fun collection which sold out in minutes! (On Chain art is on a roll!) 500 collectible rocks of different colors and styles (my favorite is the ripcache rock). This one shot up to the top of the OpenSea rankings. Happy to see him sell this out!
(81-82-83-84)
The first project to be released on Alba’s new open platform. (81-82-83-84) was originally designed for plotter machines but was adapted for a generative art. Daniel Catt did an impressive job using flow fields in a unique and beautiful way.
Carres • On-Chain
kipz.eth recently started putting 1/1s on chain and we are here for it! Not only are they visually intricate and fun but his newest ones animate! He is demonstrating a true mastery of SVG techniques.

ISO Redemption - (11/21/23, 9am PST)
I had the pleasure of working with the very talented artist Ateliê who is a talented vector illustrator. She created these 6 isometric pieces to do as her first on-chain artwork. These beauties are going up for auction on Tuesday!
Chain Reaction (11/21/23)
Another artist that I have admired for a couple of years now, I have worked with Studio Captain to put out his first on-chain collection. This collection will have 10 unique 1/1s. All the pieces in this collection will come with an off-chain bidders edition, redeemable physical 1/1 print and lots of extras for 2024.
Offline
Zero X has been putting out some heat over the past year. His newest Collection ‘offline’ is an ongoing series of 1/1s centered around spotlighting the computer window in its various forms. The first 8 have been reserved for his loyal collectors but more will be available to the public in the near future.
int art New Drop
I don’t know much about this but when int art drops something new, I am interested. This is definitely something to keep an eye on.
Together (11/21/23)
From Aspyn, the creator of Non-Fungible Moons, this collection will have an interesting concept where minters will contribute to how the art is depicted. “Together isn't just about the art itself, it's about the experience of the collection unfolding as each new piece is minted”.
So much great art coming out on this week 🥺
