Welcome to the (art) Collector's Corner, where we aim to bridge the gap across platforms and chains, helping to amplify art from talented artists in all genres of work.
This edition includes fx(hash)'s first VERTEX project, a collaborative generative photography project that allows you to become a co-creator, notable releases; what we're reading and watching; and much more.
If you're new (thanks for reading!), we have a website that includes a curated calendar of drops and releases that’s easily searchable, showcasing available art for a longer period than the social media news cycle. We also have a collection gallery, giving an updated perspective on some of the things we're collecting.
Also, if you subscribed recently and didn't receive your $GRND tip for doing so, please reach out to me on Warpcast and I'll get it sent asap!

As always, thanks for being here and please don't hesitate to reach out with any feedback or suggestions. 😊
